Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures
I believe most of my co-workers know how to bring a plastic cup from home, but what if your plastic cup has no vacancy due to (1) a drink you don't want to waste, or (2) a fungus you cannot identify? And yet vodka slurpees are calling your name? What is a cupless cube dweller to do?
Last Friday, some mighty fine co-workers got creative and used biodegradable bowls as cups. We filled these sad little shallow bowls with Coke-flavored slurpees and then added vodka. Suddenly, creating a positive impact was a lot more positive. We did use straws, though. We figured they would make the positive impact come a little more quickly.
Here are a few ways to refer to vodka slurpees. Feel free to recommend your own labels. Suggestions are always environmentally friendly.
- Codka
- Vodkee
- Slodka
- Slodkee
For our next trick, perhaps we'll have to use the company-provided taterware to shovel the Codka into our mouths. It's not easy bein' green.

I'm all for being green and eco-friendly in both big and little ways, but this kind of passive-aggressive enforcement will really only make people resent the whole idea. Especially when they are thirsty and/or in need of something in which to put alcohol.
Also, those bowls? Maybe ok for salad, but the slodkees started to seep through after they had been sitting there for a bit.
All great points, Viveth. I worry about the day when there's a potato shortage due to excessive use of taterware. Mark my words: There will someday be a Save the Spuds campaign.
