Food Packaging Is Often A Rip-off
How insulting is it that manufacturers not only shrink the size of food servings for the same price but they add concave walls bending in from the sides or bottom of the package so the inside volume of product is smaller? Or they'll enlarge the handle relative to the rest of the container so it looks a lot bigger than it really is. Or they'll put a big cap on the top and then taper the body of the bottle away sharply. Or, the old classic - they'll fill most of the space with air.

Food and other items are put into too much packaging. I was glad last year to see that the easter eggs had been placed in just silver foil minus the box. It cuts down on packaging but makes them more fragile so I don't know. A lot is wrapped up in plastic which is extremely hard to dispose of because it isn't biodegradeable.

So true.
Easter eggs or worse giant chocolate easter bunnies are the greatest test of consumer satisfaction.

 They could layer the tin foil wrapping.

The anger I receive when opening a chip bag containing a lavish amount of air and only a disgracing sum of chips, is enough to fuel a personal rampage which would end in a kamikaze attack at a chip producing company.

I especially like the small juce boxes; they're a product that is meant to be used in about 10 seconds, yet the containers will last forever.
