khunsanuk Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Hi, I've noticed this quite a few times, buy a bag of candy and when you open it every piece of candy is individually wrapped in its own plastic bag. I am guessing they do this so little Mom & Pop shops can sell the candy piecemeal, but it seems a large waste to me. Not to mention the extra impact on the environment all this extra plastic has.

Mekong Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Not just Mom & Pop Shops, 7-11 and Familymart are the same. It really pisses me off when I just want to grab a candy and have to unwrap the bugger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think it is due to how Thai's consume candy, walk around any market and you will see stalls selling them individually or 2 for 1 Baht, very rare to see a Thai with a bag of candy.

sayjann Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 I will know things are really bad when they start wrap every damn potato ship in its own seperate bag. wrapping is a curse. i worked for many years with the elderly and things like sandwiches and packs of biscuits were wrapped up in such a way it was so hard for them to open. i used to struggle at times opening the bloody things......
