These are totally infuriating! Ever seen something with a natural shell or case double-wrapped in a plastic case!? Well… sadly these fruits and veggies exist out there! Check out some of the worst people have found after the jump! BLEGH!

Did anyone notice the fire wood wrapped in… give me a break.
I can see the point about food waste, and also I thing alot of it has to do with being able to put scannable bar codes on things. Still, the Coke is truly strange.
Sorry to be a fact bore but the plastic wrap debate isn’t that simple. Remove the wrapping and the food perishes a lot faster. This means more food wastage and all the resources put into getting it from farm to store are for nothing (everything that grew it, picked it, and shipped it). So what’s the answer? Fuck knows. But it’s not a simple case of ditching plastic. That will just reintroduce different waste and their own negative impacts on the environment.
TL;DR. World’s fucked, either way.
is it just me or was anyone else a little freaked about $168 for one freaking strawberry?
In Japan they are given as gifts and are very highly regarded. They grace department store fronts in most high end shopping districts.
That’s 168 yen which is $1.53
