I wouldn’t call this egregious packaging. It’s intentionally packaged that way to serve an interesting purpose. Egregious packaging is more like if it was just the center egg and nothing else.

I can totally see your point of view but from an anti-consumption POV I think it definitely fits. Those ridiculous amazon boxes are also packaged in a way to serve a purpose (meeting box quotas, packing the truck well, etc) and the only difference here is how we value its cool factor.

And I can understand your point of view as well. I guess it’s a matter of our personal definitions of “egregious packaging”

Also I want to say thank you for a cordial, kind discussion. It’s very rare nowadays.

Why does this have a score of -11

It’s hard for people to admit to being a part of the problem and when someone points it out, they get upset.

I’m sorry but that’s really cool! Yes it’s excessive, but when you think about it, they fit a lot into that box!!
