One thing that really gets my goat is overpackaged food. Walk into any supermarket and you’ll see packaging atrocities: who the hell decided that a coconut or a pepper needs to be shrinkwrapped?!
Anyway, I was quite pleased today to see that Asda have changed their dip packaging. In the past, they’ve sold their dips how other supermarkets do: a plastic pot with a cardboard sleeve. The sleeve has all the information on (type of dip, best before etc.) and the pot is blank.
Now, everything is printed on the pot. Not only does this dispense with the superfluous cardboard sleeve, it means that the date is actually on the dip (hooray!) and that you can tell what kind of dip it is without faffing about trying to guess which cardboard sleeves match up to which dips.
Now all that has to happen is for someone to stop wrapping the bloody coconuts.

Why in the world would they wrap coconuts??
I agree – I hate all that extra packaging – what a waste!
