Vein Popper #53 - Too much packaging!

Alright, the companies that make and sell just about everything have been doing this for a LONG time. Too much packaging!! Do we REALLY need to buy a box of something where everything inside it is individually wrapped?? Food products tend to be really bad but the worst is kids toys!! Every bloody thing in the box for a toy seems to be double wrapped in plastic or cardboard!! Take Lego for example. I used to get lego sets of a thousand pieces. I'd open the box and pour EVERY PIECE onto the floor and start building. Now they have all the pieces grouped (with very little actual thought put into the groupings I might add!) into plastic packages that are a real bitch to open!! You can easily have 10-15 packages in a single kit! I'm not sure who came up with the idea to double and triple package everything a consumer purchases... but i'm sure they have a heart as black as coal!
