When you buy food in big supermarkets, you are often surprised by the amount of packaging that is used to keep it fresh. You can find on sale packs of sliced items in which, in addition to the outer covering, EVERY slice is separated from the next with a layer plastic. The result is that you find yourself with a quantity of sliced food identical to the amount of plastic needed to sell it! No doubt it makes nothing good for the environment.
These people faced an absurdity like the one just described, and could not help but take a picture and share it with the world. Have we really gone so far?
This man has ordered an umbrella, and it arrived with enough paper to make a toga
Bought an umbrella on Amazon and it came with 50 times its volume in cardboard packaging and wrapping. Cardboard wrapping Toga for scale. from r/facepalm
Not just a coconut, but a genuine coconut. Carefully wrapped, because you know that coconuts are delicate!
No just a coconut, but a GENUINE coconut. Conveniently wrapped to protect this otherwise highly perishable food. from r/Anticonsumption
How do we wrap the wrapping roll? Right you are: with another wrapping roll. Good job!
So glad they packed this well pic.twitter.com/6DnMbXheXI

Bread slices individually wrapped. Please, NO
These mini Vienna sausages are so precious that each of them is wrapped in plastic
The bananas already have a natural and biodegradable wrap. Do you think they need polystyrene and film?
We’re really doing something wrong…
It must be a really expensive charger to get the package of a diamond…

Have you ever noticed that the spice jars are enclosed in an inexplicably indestructible plastic wrap?
Good example for bad #packaging: It takes a sharp knife and a lot of patience to take off the plastic wrapping from the top of these pepper mills… And a little bit of luck not to hurt yourself during this action. #packagingdesign #timetomakeitbetter pic.twitter.com/I7e81eRVEd

This avocado was cut in two halves, then they were peeled and wrapped individually. The next step is to sell them chewed!
Over packaged avocados! («100 per cent») What next? pic.twitter.com/pi2nNfo4xS

They have eliminated the protective peel that nature has supplied to the citrus fruits and wrapped them in a plastic cover. Logical, isn’t it?
If only nature would find a way to cover these oranges so we didn’t need to waste so much plastic on them. pic.twitter.com/00YECaHB4D
