Le Cunt : Manufacturers insistence on using stupid packaging.

L’evidence : Today I bought a memory stick so as to be able to swap files in a flash.

The first thing you notice is that the memory stick itself is very small. Perhaps, 2 inches in length, 3/4 of an inch in width, yet it comes in plastic packaging many times its size.

We’re constantly being preached about conservationism, protecting the environment and all that yet they package goods in this way. It’s the equivalent of buying a pint of Bulmers and being served it in a jeroboam.

Then there’s the whole problem of getting the thing open. It is impossible to open this kind of packaging without a knife or scissors of some kind. Why? If we can have easy open packets of ham, which you can even reseal, why does a memory stick have to be practically laminated?

Why can’t they just make a small packet that’s really easy to open? Have they made a deal with the scissor and knife makers of the world? Whatever the reasons they are stupid. There’s absolutely nothing sensible or logical about this and it’s time consuming too. Time is money and I don’t have enough money because it takes so much time to open these fucking things.

And where does this excess plastic end up? I’ll tell you. I put it in my Green bin. They come and collect the Green bin and pretend to ‘recycle’ the plastic. Instead, the plastic is shipped to China and buried in giant landfills or it is brought out to sea and dumped to add to the plastic island that engulfs the Pacific ocean. All because these cunts can’t package their products with a bit of sense.

Le Verdict : I now have the ability to quickly and conveniently move files but I also have a load of plastic I don’t want. Start wrapping things in biodegradable packaging like old teabags or brown paper, you wasteful, irritating Le Cunts.
