Styrofoam smells stale. It reminds me of the wind in my hair, driving down the lone highways with my parents, wondering if the new house is going to be prettier than the one we were driving away from. My sister crying when her toys got lost during the move. The peanuts spraying out when we opened the boxes with our belongings.
I picture the packing peanuts at the bottom of christmas packages.
The ones from relatives who never remember how to spell my name.
I see them falling from the sky like the snow that remains until the end of April.
I hear it crunch into school projects, and foam like the milk on coffee at starbucks.
To me it should be like a toasty marshmallow, but in reality its a clingy curse.

the clear plastic bag was situated under his chair. I could see the styrofoam spilling out from inside, spreading across the lino like a bundle of cotton balls. It was from the newly received wedding china.
Ella Mullings
The package arrived in the mail, with “fragile” stamped on it in red, capital letters. She tore the cardboard open, not even bothering to find scissors, causing little styrofoam peanuts to fly in every direction around her, like they were fleeing from a prison.
eco unfriendly, can do some fun art with it. Useful for packing. I have some saved in my garage. Why is styrofoam always white? And what ever happenned to styrofoam that was made out of corn, heard it didn’t do well in water.

I was at the Sligo Races when I was 7 or 8 with my Dad, eating a burger from the Four Lights from a styrofoam box. They don’t really use them anymore. strange memory!
Elaine
i remember in 3rd grade my mom and i did a project on ladybugs. we cut up styrofoam balls and painted them red with black dots to look like ladybugs. styrofoam is such a hard word to type, everytime i type it i keep getting errors, im typing with a lot of errors too, typing is a hard word also, but this is supposed to be about styrofoam…

Maybe, if her house was built in Styrofoam, she wouldn’t have termites. And then she wouldn’t be moving into this shitty apartment with the landlord who smelled like turnips and a 70-year-old neighbour. Maybe her and Justin would still be together because they wouldn’t have had that stupid fight over the wallpaper – but come on, yellow!?
coffee cups and plates are made of styrofoam. then you also use styro for insulation and warmth. however, it is also not environmentally friendly – does not break down and is actually harmful can be colourful and has many uses anad applications
brigitte
hard, chewy, disposable…life is so short and disposable…yet in reality it’s like a Styrofoam cup. easily thrown away and forgotten, but in reality there for much much longer than we can feasible imagine.
Amanda
styrofoam…it’s fun to break. not as fun as bubblewrap though. i like breaking it but when it’s all broken it looks yucky. so i don’t. if it’s mine. if it’s someone else’s i’ll grab it and ninja karate chop that sucker.
Bloop.
the empty cup left my hand carelessly. i didn’t stop and think about where it was going and where it came from. kind of like this relationship. it was at that moment when i decided to make a change for the better.

How long will we use materials that are unable to be broken down by natural cause. Styrofoam is the perfect example of what’s wrong with our mentality towards our precious planet. No excuse in today’s modern world for it’s continued existence.
Styrofoam is a white fluffy insulative plastic thats used for coffee cups because it burns people less than holding the coffee directly in their palms. That tends to make peoples/coffee drinkers hands uncomfortably warm. They dislike this, so invented the styrofoam to hold heated liquids.
Elaine
is a cup, not really just syrofoam cups, it is spungy and white and a mwss . I like to chew on it sometimes, dont know why I picked it up as a child. It is nor good for the earth so I try and not buy it, to bad it is hidden inside boxes when you buy large items and you just cant help it then. I usually burn it in the fire pit when this happens because I like to watc melt.
hess
i dont understand why people hate styrofoam. i mean what is the big deal?! it honestly grinds my gears when someone touches styrofoam then throws it on the ground and covers their ears while cringinging their teeth. like really!! is it THAT horrible! and how on earth does it tickle your teeth!
anna
Styrofoam looks weird, But it does great in packaging.
Mitchell Zipprian
Is Fantastic, though rather poisonous to most of the beings in my house. It also dissolves under spray paint… and certain glues…. But is still fantastic. Costumes and props love it <3
i have no clue what this means, because im Norwegian. But it sounds like a dangerous, toxic type of soap foam. Something that will taste terrible and sting. Maybe something you would use to clean your car.
Anne Windsland
easy, light, white, insulated, warmth, cold, pleasure, nice, easy, grainy, snow, protected, money, home, comfort. it’s easy to feel toasty. i like it because it makes it feel like winter regardless of what month you’re in.
buzi
boxes are everywhere. packed with styrofoam and glasses vases. the vases don’t even know that this is no longer their home.
Is very sticky and interesting. Not too sure what it is but I think it might smell. Maybe even green? Sty-ro-foam. Wow. How funny.
Brittany
we drank cheap wine in a styrofoam cup, that night, smiled until we were drunk and then we laughed–
and we laughed about syrofoam, how it doesn’t decay, we played a spitting contest with our science, how many facts we can name in a minute, in this slap-happy state
styrofoam. It’s anoying. It does that weird squeaky thing that makes my brother go crazy. But I guess its good for a lot of things, like keeping things safe, drinking out of, it has its uses. How manytimes do we not want to use something or someone because of one flaw, like how it sounds? If we can use something as annoying sounding as styrofoam, why don’t we give that annoying friend of ours a chance to really express themselves? Why don’t we get to know them, their thoughts, and their opinions? I know that they have them, and I can guarantee that if we give them a chance, we’ll find out more than we ever though we would.
Katelyn
Styrofoam is a cheap white plastic. Once, me and four other friends were walking somewhere and we found a pile of 2×4 styrofoam blocks. There in the sand next to the street we had a styrofoam fight, and forgot about our other plans.
John Barton
it is white
it remind’s me of foam
insulation, protection, comes in boxes. it’s shaped as squares. the font is in pink. it is light, and not heavy. its fun and easy to break

One time I saw some styrofoam, floating through the wind. It was flying and twisting and turning. It seemed as if it was running away from where ever it came from, possible a box or maybe a house full of kids or a trash can full of diapers. It was running from a past life. Some people should do that just as the styrofoam does.
Cleanup day at the beach. Everyone out on that sunny, beautiful Saturday. We sipped our coffees and started combing the beach for trash. As the waves broke across the sand, all we could see was particles of styrofoam littering the beach. Big pieces broke into small pieces. Small pieces became smaller styrofoam pieces impossible to pick up. I hate styrofoam.

Styrofoam is a very useful product. It is used for cups, and it helps keep things warm. It’s also fun to break apart and play with. It’s used to package things also and it protects things from being broken. I don’t use styrofoam products too often but it comes in handy from time to time. That’s all I have to say about styrofoam.
Poop
I could tell the stryofoam cup belonged to Rita because of the big red lipstick smudge. I wanted to spit in the cup, or squeeze it until it ripped in my hands, but instead I was a good girl and gave it to her like she asked.
Have no idea what that is. Sounds industrial. Something to do with construction? Is that the thing that you pour into cracks under pressure that later hangs off around the doors and such? Very unappetising thing. Usually of a pale orange tint.
The styrofoam they use to package things? What do you package styrofoam in when you make styrofoam? I mean, I know there’s packing peanuts, but why would you buy someone else’s packing product to package your packing product? Or do you make your own packing peanuts? But then wouldn’t you wanna open a whole ‘nother company to make more money?

Charlie ripped apart the styrofoam and then shoved the box aside. Never before had he been so ecctatic at the arrival of a package. He didn’t even care that soon he would be yelled at for the flakes of styrofoam now littering the ground. As Troy watched this a question bounced arround in his head. What had come in the mail for Charlie?
Linden
We drink alcohol out of styrofoam cups as we walk down the quiet streets of the East Side in Providence, idling along and talking about whatever. It’s a warm summer night, and the alcohol makes it that much warmer. We duck behind a dumpster and pee. It’s nights like these that I wish would go on forever.
Melody Rythem
The fluffy stuff that actually stops NASCAR race cars from crashing hard. It’s used in Safer Barriers now.
Dwight Drum
I guess that styrofoam is the epitome of impermanence. Creating something out of styrofoam is a bug fuck you, you’re going to die alone in a landfill, you’re going to destroy the planet which created you, maybe you should just give up now?

Synthetic became organic became synthetic again and then the distinction was made academic by a left-field development that no-one saw coming.
Styrofoam,
keeps you safe,
from sharp or hard,
do not drop,
do not break,
thank you,
come again soon!
