Stop Using Printer Paper as Drink Garnish

Can we talk about the weird trend of bartenders dropping order tickets right into the drinks? Like, I get it—keeping track of orders is chaos. But printer paper floating in my cocktail? Not the vibe. That stuff isn’t food-safe, and who knows what chemicals are in the ink? I’m not trying to sip on a side of BPA with my gin and tonic. Honestly, it’s wild how normal this has become. I’ve seen tickets stuck to the rim, half-dissolving in the foam, or even dunked straight into the glass. It’s not just unappetizing—it’s actually kind of gross. Drinks should be about flavor, not accidental paper pulp. If you’re a bartender, please find another way to mark drinks. Our bodies (and taste buds) will thank you. Let’s keep the printer paper out of our food and drinks, yeah? #bartenderlife #foodhygiene #drinksafety #serviceindustry #healthyliving #Food #Foodie
