whilst this certainly seems is a complete waste of packaging for most, there are a lot of peole out there with chronic arthritis and other disablilities that makes peeling fruit either incredibly difficult, extremely painful or both. Opening a small plastic tub is nothing compared to peeling an orange, so this sort of thing is a God-send for them.

Are you f*cking serious?!

This s**t is bananas.

and it says 'non drowsy', i'm guessing you'll at least be a little tired after working through all that so not sneeze at the flowers.

Now, this is just silly.

you might say... it's.... coco-nuts! a-hahahaha...

yeah, they could've used one of those envelope packaging things for this.

who has that much time and how would program a machine to do that or even deem it worth creating a machine in the first place

it's just marketing. shelf filling is important but new mold is expensive.

water proof potatoes! the irish could've used these...

the worst thing since sliced bread.

well it's one way to stop you getting crabs...

I would not buy this avocado. I prefer to be the one to cut it and seeded. To me this just seems like the avocado is not fresh and will spoil

You start apreciating this sort of wasteful packaging when you have small kids

Maybe it was cold outside lol

So paper also beats bubble wrap, got it..

Bananas are arguably the easiest fruit to peel.

"honey, that invisible part you needed has arrived"

I thought these were Ping-Pong balls!

it feels like some of this stuff would exist in wall-e's world

top tip - leave some potatoes wrapped in tinfoil in various places around your house. then, in the event of a house fire, you'll have a delicious snack to eat while waiting for the fire brigade to arrive.

Who wants people touching their food this much?

So I have to peel off the white stuff all by myself??

Eeeweee....hygiene people!

Well, as someone wrote earlier, we may be jumping to too many conclusions. Apparently this is just the thing for people with serious arthritis or other disabilities. Oranges and other fruit can be quite difficult for some to peel and some elderly don't have friends or family around to do this for them. I can see where there is a market for this in some places. We shouldn't be assuming too much about this as laziness.

I work with people with arthritis and mobility problems. They would rather buy the whole fruit and have an adapted tool at home to peel, or have a caregiver peel a piece or two of fruit for them. Much cheaper, too.

My nephew lived with me for about a year, he worked in produce and did jobs like this. If you knew just how unhygienic this boy was. I had to make him shower and take care of himself. I've never bought any prepared produced since. Yuck.

I LOVE IT 😍

The food experts say it's all about presentation.

yuck! Someone I don't know peeled and pieced my orange?

I've seen it ALL now!

orange I glad I haven't seen that yet...

I know an extremely fat woman (due to laziness mostly) that buys her groceries exactly like this. Disgusting

I guess rich Greek folks had grape peelers. Now rich folks just have an employee do it. Same thing, just don't have to live with the peasant.

How do we create jobs for people? I got an idea Steve.

Why would u even waste money on this what your life is so busy that U can't even open it your self if that's the case your lazy as s**t n U like to water money on stupid s**t like this 😒😠

For the hundreth time, not everyone can peel an orange

they should fill those pouches with helium, would reduce the weight and cost of postage. they could then float the boxes to you?

It's pretty extra if you ask me.

peek-a-boo

People are pigs. Often when you buy bananas they look like they've been through the wars because they've been manhandled by so many slobs. It's also a way to sell overripe or overly green bananas. If they come packaged, people won't be able to take them off the bunches and leave them behind. ... I still think it's ridiculous, but I can see where they're coming from.

Inception!

This is quite common for luxury fruits in Japan which is often given as a present (since other types of presents take too much space in one’s home). Remeber the whole square watermelon thing? While the rest of the world giggles a bit, I can tell you these fruits are absolutely perfect i every way. I’ve never seen or tasted more consistently perfect fruit.

This might be used to not confuse the people handling the shipment. An empty pallet could look like the cargo is missing or the pallet might disappear and become one of all the other pallets at a warehouse (I work in logistics). This way it's clear that the pallet is the shipment. But it still looks silly.

This one seems more like an anti-theft method.

is a single one called an m or an m&m? asking for a friend.

dya reckon they get paid based on how much packaging they've sent out?

bottom one is morphing and trying to escape!

I guess energy efficient isn't the same as environmentally friendly. Those 2 departments should really have a meeting.

Yes, it's odd. We also buy organiz free-range eggs and they come in a cardboard box, which we then recycle.

didn't dr seuss write about this?

haters gonna hate, potatoes gonna potate.
