Chipotle's deli cups AND lids are pp5

After being a fatty I noticed the lid is pp5 which I've never seen before in a deli cup. Also they're crystal clear. Planning on giving them the Pasty plate treatment if I can get my hands on some.

I found the lids online but of course the minimum you can buy is 2500 The brand is Karat and the lid part number is FP-PL400-PP if anyone is better at digging than I am. Next time I go in I'm gonna see if I can do a little bartering with the manager

Yes but it's just PP, not PP5. A little personal crusade of mine lol. There isn't a PP3 etc. 5 is the resin code for PP plastic.
Anyway damn it's 2500 but it's only $45, that's sick! Hard to beat that if you are using no pours. Even if shipping is $50 that's still a good price for enough cups to last forever.

yea like I said the 5 is the resin code for PP.
When the resin code is a different number that means a different type of plastic. There is no PP3 or such.
It's polypropylene or PP, not PP5.

Maybe I missed a joke, but those aren't different. Polypropylene is recycling code 5 so "PP5" and "polypropylene" mean the same thing.

It doesnt mean the same thing. PP5 implies that there is a PP1-4 which there aint. Resin 1-4 etc are totally different plastics than PP.
And it's not a recycling code it's a resin identification code, for recycling purposes in theory but that's just a scam as most know.
Some people care about what words mean and I just wanted to let you know how to properly say it so you don't look foolish if you ever talk to anyone that knows anything about it.
It's sort of like saying ATM Machine or PIN number but even wrongerer because it's not really part of the name.
If you looks at the image of the resin code you will notice it has a 5 in a triangle, and then says PP. Not PP5.

Nobody is confused by PP when used in context. If that confuses them them then PP5 will too.

I stan calling them pp5 because it’s what everyone will see on the bottom of them when they’re looking for usable materials. I may be their biggest advocate for Cubensis and I’ll probably call them that forever lol

That's precisely the point. "PP5" isn't any sort of official designation; it's a colloquial combination of the "resin code" and the letters under the recycling triangle. I don't know where you got the idea that "PP5" suggests the existence of PP1, PP2, etc.
"PP5" means resin code 5 and resin code 5 means polypropylene. They do mean the same thing. What you're doing is confusing people.

Incorrect. Resin Code 5 means polypropylene but PP5 doesn't mean anything because it doesn't exist. It's literally a misnomer. If you want to come correct say PP.
You don't say HDPE2, or PETE1 and you don't say fucking PP5.
If this is confusing to you then bless your heart. I'll keep chugging along and pointing it out when I see people using it.

I'd eat a bit more chipotle to stock up on some more of those containers so you can test them out before commiting to a bulk purchase.
Deli containers can be great for agar if they happen to be nice and thick and sturdy. But ime, the majority of these containers simply aren't good for agar. Not looking to be the party pooper here but imo the pic in the OP looks like the kind of thin flimsy plastic I would never use for agar, or maybe it's just the pic and they're nicer irl, I don't know.
I'd test them out first at least, leave them out uninoculated for a couple of weeks to see if they tam out on their own and put them through several PC cycles to see how they hold up (flimsy containers might get the lids too loose after some cycles).
I wrote some stuff about this time ago, it's the second link in my sig if you want to take a look.

So these wouldn't hold their shape in a PC cycle? They're the ame rating as the glad mini rounds.

I didn't say that, but just look at them, they look to me like money down the toilet and in no way can those compare in quality to glad mini rounds or to a good quality deli container.
The lids of snap-on containers get loose over time after X cycles, the thinner the plastic the sooner this happens. When choosing containers it's important to take especial attention to the lid, is it robust and closes fairly tightly? Or is it flimsy and doesn't look like it would hold up well? Like the ones in the OP.
You need to put these things through many cycles. Containers are going to be exposed to open air uninoculated and after inoculation for days or weeks... you just need good shit for this ffs 
Had my share of crappy containers like that and I quickly realized you need something more durable and sturdy for agar.
On another note, I've seen good containers contaminate on their own uninoculated, let alone crappy ones.

I got some salsa in a PP5 (I fucking said it) container. The bottom of the container was PP 5 and the lid which was softer was PP4. Are you guys saying that the PP4 is a different resin and not as heat tolerant? I decided not to run it through the PC because I believed that the lid would fail but the container it self should survive. I think Sandman420 might have an interesting point if he can explain the difference between PP5 and PP4. It seems like you are saying PP1-2-3-4 isn't a thing.

lol
Again, there is no such thing as PP4 etc. The lid was resin #4 and that means it's LDPE, a totally different plastic with a totally different temperature resistance property.
PP deli cups come in two types. Blow molded and injection molded. These thin ones are blow molded and the thicker ones are injection molded, as are glad cups etc. So you can include injection molded in your search to come up with thicker ones. Here are some larger but much thicker ones https://www.amazon.com/Karat-FP-IMDC12-PP-Injection-Molded-Containers/dp/B07MCFCL1L
So anyway, nowhere on any professional or manufacturer websites, or wikipedia, or anywhere that talks about polypropylene uses the "PP5" designation because it is a total misnomer. Check it out. So I am just trying to tell you good folks that you are using it wrong.

Yea sometimes adding a few keywords to a search can really help find what you need. I went on a quest to find good deli cups a few years back for an attempt at using them for stone production with grain.
I did finally find the good thick injection molded types but find that, like you were saying, the lids of snap on cups just don't have what it takes to really shake the jars securely. And also I don't like the tapered shape, you can't put as much grain in and still mix them with shaking.
But good for agar no pours for sure.
