Chick-fil-A customers outraged over big change…
Some Reddit customers are calling out a beloved fast-food chain over a change in the cups for their drinks.
A consumer on the Chick-fil-A discussion board on Reddit posted a picture of a paper cup in entrance of a takeout bag.
“I’m fine with the fries change, but taking away the Styrofoam cup? This feels gross,” says the title of the post.
Fox News Digital reached out to Chick-fil-A for remark.
The post garnered a whole lot of reactions, with customers weighing in on the Styrofoam vs. paper cup debate.
“CFA usually uses Styrofoam cups unless there is a local or state law that prohibits them from doing so,” wrote one consumer.
“Styrofoam bans are getting increasingly more common.”
Another consumer commented, “The paper cup sucks but nothing worse than the paper straws.”
Said a completely different Redditor, “I understand if it’s better for the environment. I just reeaaallly wish we could find a similar alternative, because Styrofoam really does keep that ice from melting nearly as fast.”
One consumer wrote, “I personally dislike the Styrofoam cups. Whenever I have them, I wonder if a loose small piece of Styrofoam is floating around in my drink.”

“Honestly, this is one hill I really don’t care to die on. If it bothers you so much, you can always keep a Yeti mug in your car and transfer your drink to that,” suggested one consumer.
Another Redditor mentioned the Styrofoam cups “suck” and wished Chick-fil-A would “switch nationwide.”
One individual agreed, writing, “Styrofoam is a much better material for cups. It’s insulated so your hand doesn’t get cold and wet while holding it.”
“I’m shocked that people would miss the Styrofoam cup,” one individual wrote.
“Do you like eating plastic[?]” the individual added.

One buyer wrote, “They just made this change at my CFA in Virginia. I did a double take.”
“Styrofoam isn’t biodegradable, so the cups from Chick-fil-A you got as a kid, well, they’re still sitting there! Not going anywhere, just piling up more and more,” commented a Redditor.
Styrofoam cups are made from polystyrene. Twelve states have banned polystyrene foam, which could be the cause for the change to paper cups.
Washington, D.C., Maine, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, Vermont, Colorado, Virginia, Delaware, Oregon, Rhode Island, California and Washington all have bans on polystyrene foam.
