Medication packaging

Why do so many medications still get packed like this. Are they just trying to make the box look bigger from the outside? This is Up and Up (Target) allergy medication but it seems to be prevalent. It’s almost twice the amount of packaging that is actually needed.

Why Gillette?

Don’t even get me started on the price ($36.99 for a pack of 9) they use little plastic fillers to fill the gaps where more razors could’ve gone 🤦‍♂️

Packaging by BYREDO

Check out this absurd packaging for an order I got from BYREDO… are they a high end perfumery or the Easter Bunny? Also the box is way too massive for these three things. I had to dig around in the paper shavings for far too long. It was like a needle in a haystack. They need a smaller box and to ditch the paper shavings 🤦‍♀️

Amazon...WTF????

Bought a metal pencil sharpener and a few other items. They delivered everything in one box EXCEPT the tiny eyeliner pencil sharpener which the put in this monstrosity. See that litter baggie in the bottom left???? That's it.

Toothpaste packaging

A tube of Colgate toothpaste was marketed/sold to me in a cardboard box. I was expecting a tube twice as big. The box was at least an inch longer than needed. Is it alright for companies to fill the landfills to avail of a deceptive marketing ploy. And why has easy access to bring complaints to government consumer/environment protection agencies dried up?
