WHAT'S IN THE BOX?
Here's an unofficial "holiday" that's
probably been familiar to most of us
even if we didn't know it existed!
August 7th is "Particularly Preposterous
Packaging Day!" I've sort of touched
on this before in a sense when I told
you about medical bottles that are
sealed on top, require a certain type
of push and turn to open them, only
to find another seal underneath the top.
But that's just one example. Think
about the thumb drive you ordered
on line that comes in a package the
size of a shoe box! I was recently
gifted with a frame and cover for
a portable garage for my Miata.
I still don't understand how the
delivery driver was able to lift
the package and bring it to our
front porch. My son managed to
set it upright and wiggle it onto
his old skateboard in order to
move it to the site where we
was able to get it assembled!
That box was tremendously
heavy, wrapped in a plastic
coating and sealed with
plastic bands along its
length and width! So, how does
one deal with "Particularly Preposterous
Packaging?" I guess you just do
the best you can and be happy
they are at least delivered
safely! Enjoy the day! Hope
all of your NEWS is good!
