i agree some things are ridicously over packed. like things that hang

Try BJ's Wholesale Club and some expensive small item like Prilosec
(over-the-counter drug beloved of pilots because you don't have to
tell the FAA about it). The little box is encased in a transparent
steel (okay, it's plastic, but it very nearly requires a plasma cutter
to open) sandwich that measures about 10 by 20 inches. The detritus
just about fills up my office wastebasket.
