Abstract

Darn, I spilled that big bag of M&M’s all over the floor again. I was trying to open the bag gently, but it wouldn’t give, until schwapp, the entire bag ripped apart. Sometimes it seems like food companies go out of their way to make it difficult to open their packages. How about tearing the top of a box of crackers or cereal and then not being able to close it again? Why do we need all that packaging anyway?
