Particularly Preposterous Packaging Day
August 7 · Level 2 · #1882 of 2238
A tongue-in-cheek day for anyone who has ever dug a tiny item out of an enormous box. It reminds us that packaging should protect a product, not compete with it for size.
How it is celebrated: people post photos of parcels where a small object is lost in a sea of bubble wrap and cardboard, swap funny unboxing stories and dream up the most ridiculous way to wrap everyday things.
Online shopping has made oversized boxes full of air a familiar sight, which is why a growing number of retailers now choose box sizes to fit each order.
