There are a lot of people who have problems, yet they're happy to be alive. I like that.

I've decided to use Om Nom for an avatar for a couple of days. He's my special little pea.

They should invent jars that turn inside out because, under the current system there's a lot of chocolate spread that goes to waste

But, if you waste 5% of the contents, that means you buy another jar sooner.

It's in their interests to design the most wasteful packaging possible so that you're forced to buy more product more often.

I agree, from the customer's perspective a less wasteful jar would be great.

I'm just saying 'they' have zero incentive to make a better jar, instead 'their' incentive is to make a worse jar.

When 'they' do something that seems stupid or counter intuitive, it's good to look at where 'their' interests lie. :nerdy:
