I have a big gripe with the packaging some companies use for their products. It seems like the packaging materials cost more than the product, perhaps to make you think you're getting more than you really are. I realize that since most things we buy are made in China, extra padding/packaging is necessary for the boat ride across the pond, but I absolutely hate these smallish items packaged in huge clear plastic clamshell containers that are practically impossible to get into. I suppose it's for inventory control so keep people from putting small items in their pockets, but it looks like we could keep a lot out of our landfills if more common sense was used in packaging.
