25+ Excessive Packaging Examples That Are Pure Evil

Pre-cracked eggs, individually wrapped chips, 50 feet of paper for one bag of kitty litter, or a big box for a single tiny battery — it`s just mind-blowing how much packaging we use for even the tiniest things. The most egregious examples of unnecessary packaging that we found on the web give us a nervous tic.

Here at Bright Side we were let down by this absurdly excessive packaging and found it important to share this compilation with you.

6. Really glad my made from recycled materials & biodegradable sponges came wrapped together and individually in plastic.

20. 103 g of tuna

21. “During the mating season, the masking tape must be separated to avoid any unnecessary violence.”

22. “I ordered a custom eyeshadow palette...”

23. Wouldn’t it be nice if bananas already had their own natural packaging?

24. 3 pairs of drumsticks came separately in boxes that were way bigger than necessary.

The individually wrapped pills is an absolute “winner” in our mind. Have you ever seen any eco-unfriendly packaging? We’d be happy to see your stories and pictures in the comment section below!
