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.

I ordered a lens filter for my camera, and couldn't believe the amount of packaging and plastic wrapping it came with. It was absurd to the point of lunacy. We're talking several boxes, something like four or five different plastic wrappers, etc. For a lens filter!

It's almost like manufacturers are aware that consumers aren't "allowed" to use single-use plastic when getting groceries, so they double-down on their use for everything else!

Yeah, I ordered two end tables with shelves from Amazon a few weeks ago and they were like that. Each table had about 10-15 bags, and like 7 sheets of styrofoam.

and like 7 sheets of styrofoam.

I really, really hate styrofoam. I recently had to put out an industrial-sized bag filled with the stuff, and I can't honestly believe it's still used for packing items. Strategically used cardboard, especially the formed stuff, is so much better to use and can be recycled easily.

Yeah, it's a mess.
