The ads for those 100 calorie foods in little packages bother me. Are people that insane about portion size? You can use a measuring cup! I also hate the individually wrapped Dole prunes being marketed now. They come in a cylindrical container full of dried prunes. Each prune is wrapped in a package. Is that really necessary?

I also think this individually wrapped fruits marketing is directed towards germ phobic people.

OMG I can't believe I forgot to mention those ridiculously overpackaged prunes!

I want to, like, go into stores and open them right now and dump them into a bulk bin! But what would I do with the packaging?!!! I would have to make some kind of necklace or shirt out of them.

Can I tell you a secret? People ARE really dumb.

Yes. This.

Unfortunately, people are dumb.

au contraire... _aqualung_ March 5 2010, 17:15:51 UTC

it's not that people are stupid (because they are) in this case, it's that American's are lazy. They are marketing that they will peal the fruit, remove any excess pith, segment cut, measure and package your snack for you ( ... )
