we've gone packaging crazy !!!

[Rob_Da_Bank]

What's the worst examples of packaging excess?

Here's a few for starters:

- to take a packet of cigarettes from a 200 carton you have to remove: plastic film, cardboard box, more plastic film, open cardboard packet, remove foil. Thats ignoring the paper round the baccy

- bottled water: 1L of water = 0.1p / plastic bottle = 2p. Thats 20 x the cost - I thought I'd bought water but actually bought a plastic bottle and got the water practically for free. Oops sorry, forgot - I bought into a lifestyle!

- 12 bag multipack of crisps. 12 plastic bags of fresh air in one large bag of fresh air = 5p. Total potatoes content about 2 medium potatoes = <1p. Obesity comes free...

Thank goodness houses don't come in boxes!

Oh they do Rob. At least the dolls house I got did.

fags, crisps and bottled water- all three fairly unneccessary items in themselves. I liked the Czech way of life when I lived out there a few yrs ago- you took your eggs home in a paper bag and supplied your own container for the fresh coffee grains that you ground up yourself in a little machine in the shop.

Hey they may be unnecessary but they ruddy good! ;-)

Well, all except the water anyway, exchange that for Ribena and you've got a winner!
