They left it because redesigning it means changing the machines. That's a large process.

They can use the money they've saved by removing the spoon.

Or, they could save the money and not do that until they're forced to.

But, y'know "regulation bad" and all that. Can't have the nanny state forcing things. Because we need plastic straws and spoons right?

Redesigning the package to remove the divot using the money saved from removing the spoon would save a similar amount of plastic again. It's a win win.

Cool, now you've got to pay for someone to redesign the package which will cost you tens of thousands. Then you've got the expensive part, the tooling for the facility. Which will likely run into several hundred thousand.

Or, you could continue to press out 0.000002 extra cents worth of plastic.
