We all love to wear our packaging


From Nelly and Andres comes a disastrous form of shipping packaging from Amazon.com. I think most of us are all for recycled and environmentally friendly packaging, but this shipping envelope, filled with recycled newspaper as padding, ripped open and flew all over. This has happened to me, some of the fibers flying up my nose. We can be kind to the earth by recycling newspapers, but then we use unnecessary electricity running our vacuum to clean up the mess.

Try again Trident!



From Heather comes some more bad gum packaging. The point is for the gum to stay in the packaging, correct? Once you open the cardboard package, the whole thing falls off and you have to dig your fingernails into the aluminum foil, which causes the rest of it to fall apart. Heather has a special pocket in her purse for loose gum since the packaging is BAD!

Any Kind of #$%^&*! Clamshell!



Clamshell packaging takes the top prize for the worst of the bad packaging. This Greatland headlamp from Target was no exception. Not to mention, the headlamp didn't work! Son of a #$%%&!

TD Jaipur Veggies



I love Trader Joe's brand foods, but why are those easy-to-open box tops not so easy-to-open? Any time I have to use my fingernails to dig into a box I growl...and so does my stomach.
