Have you ever found looked at something and just thought, “why?”

Well I have, and as an expert in all things packaging I was somewhat taken aback by these truly abysmal examples of so called ‘packaging’.

The irony isn’t lost in this one.

You know what, a plastic packaging cutter would be particularly useful in this situation.

If you thought individually wrapped bananas were funny, then you’re in for a shocker here.

Taking the “one tablet every four hours” mantra to a whole new level.

Can you imagine the pitch for this?

Boss: “we need to be forward thinking, think streamline, people are busy”

Complete Idiot: “I got it”

Boss: “Well?”

C.I: “Pre peeled oranges”

Boss: “Genius”

Sounds about right?

I mean, look how confused this kid is. Did the brains behind these packaging fails really think it all the way through?
