I recently ordered two wooden spoons, a wooden spatula and a silicone spoon rest from crateandbarrel.com – all in the same transaction. Today I received these two big boxes! One box (10x7x20) held ONE 13.5″ spoon. The other box (13x13x7.5) held the other spoon, spatula and spoon rest.

It’s obvious that all four items could have fit in the big box along with the big spoon. The amount of bubble pack, honeycomb paperpack and tissue paper was unbelievable.

Is it weird that we find this sort of hilarious? Why did someone think that all that stuff wouldn’t fit into one box? Why?

Maybe they should help Amazon pack their hard drives. Tee-hee!
