Each bar is wrapped in cellophane, which are then wrapped in the normal outer packaging. To make the 4 pack, they simply took 2x two packs and put them on a cardboard tray,and then wrapped those.

I don't think I've ever gone through so much unwrapping for candy.

Order literally anything from china. Each part in a Ziploc, then grouped in a Ziploc, in a box with bubble or balloon wrap, and/or styrofoam, then like 8 miles of yellow packing tape so you have no idea where to open from, and maybe another box or garbage bag layer with more tape, then the packing slip sleeve and more tape over that.

What did we package things in before disposable plastic became ubiquitous? I don't think I was alive then. Or did we just have a lot less small and single serving products?

Kit Kat's were in foil with a paper wrapper.

I bought some recently and was dismayed to see they were now in plastic as well.

I'm 38 and had to think real hard to remember when they had the foil wrapper and paper sleeve.

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Wax paper, or just paper, or tin foil.

Like Cadbury creme eggs used to just be wrapped in foil, now they're plastic. <- Apparently this is only in Canada since 2015. TIL.

We badly need to return to this

At least cellophane is plant based and will bio degrade

[–] huginn@feddit.it 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Assuming it's actually cellophane

... Which I doubt

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.de 0 points 5 months ago

I don't see why it would be so unlikely to be cellophane but OP would have to test it.

What's wrong with palm oil?

[–] pete_the_cat@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

For one, just like any other harvestable good, it takes a lot of land and resources to grow the palm trees.

[–] bob_lemon@feddit.de 0 points 5 months ago

That's only half of the issue. In fact, palm oil is entirely very space efficient compared to rape seed or other vegetable oils.

The actual issue only starts when you take into account that oil palms really only grow in south east Asia and Oceania, and the space required is obtained by cutting down rainforest.
