    I mean...I totally support packaging that doesn't use unnecessary space but with the chips, it kinda makes sense that you need all that air to protect the chips.

    It would be interesting to discover how he went about doing that. Did he lay a grid-work and use his artistic skills, or die he tape off every dirty square before cleaning the floor?
