The other day I bought a package of Klondike bars, which have always been a square bar full of ice cream for as long as I can remember.\u00a0 \u00a0But when I opened the package, there was a big hole in the middle so I was really only getting about 70% of my expected ice cream and I was quite upset.\u00a0 \u00a0I then noticed the package called it a Klondike “donut” (Boston creme was the flavor)\u00a0 so I guess it’s on my for not reading the description carefully.<\/p>\n

Which brings me to this article from Humans of Tumblr<\/a> that exposes some ludicrous packaging ideas.\u00a0 \u00a0#3 reminds me of packages I’ve received from Amazon (you’d think the #1 shipper in the world could fit things into boxes more efficiently…) and #2 just made me cry for the people that can’t even cut an avocado in half.\u00a0 \u00a0 I would like to buy the Tic-Tacs, though.\u00a0 I think that one is clever.<\/p>\n

#1\u00a0Why are we packaging bananas, folks?<\/h1>\n

We are perfectly capable of halving our own avocados.<\/p>\n

#4\u00a0Again, with the produce.<\/h1>\n

Just let everyone pick their own. They could even put them in bags they bring from their homes. It will all be okay.<\/p>\n
