      They would go bad instantly. I would assume these would be only suitable for banana bread. Reminds me of prechopped veggies that are way overpriced.

          Please stop with justifying things that are terrible for people and the world. If these items are needed for people with disabilities, you don’t take a natural container, remove it and cover it in plastic. The solution would be to create something that is created once and does the job required indefinitely.

            You may not think it’s not popular and a waste,but that’s because the people who need and buy these items are generally doing their shopping when you’re at school/work.

          Oh that makes more sense. But they should wrap the bananas individually so they don’t brown as quick

          Edit: wait, if someone with a disability can’t peel a banana, how will they open this package?

    Specific models of dumpsters found in national parks. Apparently making sure that the smartest bear can’t get into a dumpster while making sure the dumbest person can is a grey zone.

      There have been national park visitors who have asked at what time the animals are let out of their cages and put back in them. Then again, that might be an education issue rather than a stupidity problem. Would it be ethical to experiment on these people by suggesting “we’ll tell you if you can get that dumpster open”?

      Caveat: Having never seen those dumpsters, I have the nagging feeling that I could well be outsmarted by the bears.

        That first can very well be a mixup between zoos, those parks where you can drive your car through and look at animals and national parks. I can fully see people getting it mixup a bit. So I would put that under education miss.

        And regarding the dumpsters I have been outsmarted by a child proff container so I will show respect to the dumpster.

        Caveat: Having never seen those dumpsters, I have the nagging feeling that I could well be outsmarted by the bears.

        There’s another factor though: The bear will keep trying over and over if it smells something in there, for hours if it feels like it. Tourists, meanwhile, might not even try again if they can’t get it open right away.

          1000%. It’s a miracle when someone uses the trash cans or pack in/out at all.

          Leave no trace isn’t common knowledge, nor respected by lots of people, especially the less experienced or invested. Even the slightest inconvenience can be the difference between the can and the ground.

      I hate to be “that guy” but in theee cases, it just makes more sense to have some extraneous labeling rather than have special clauses in the regulation dictating when it’s obvious enough that the label can be omitted.

      Keeping the rules as simple as possible reduces the chances of loopholes and ambiguity, at the expense of sometimes resulting in things like a jar of peanut butter stating “contains peanuts” on the label.

          It only makes no sense until you stop and consider how to define and implement a better rule, when the only real benefit would be to prevent people snarking about milk having a “contains milk” labeling.

            Labeling for ingredients and possible cross contamination concerns doesn’t require that milk warns about milk.

              Do you think that someone sits down and makes a list of all items that need to be labeled as containing X, which is then updated each time a new food or recipe hits the store shelves?

              Or is it more likely that regulators simply state that all foods for human consumption containing more than some percent by weight of X must be labeled as containing X?

              If your goal is to ensure that consumers are alerted to certain ingredients for allergy or other purposes, you care very much about a product not getting labeled properly, and you don’t really care if something obvious gets the label.

              I’m not really sure why this is so hard to grasp…

      JC Penney went through a period where they did away with their perpetual “sale” and normalized their pricing. Their sales tanked as a result. Apparently a lot of people who shop there are idiots.

        The one time I went while they were just offering low prices was awesome. Just $8/shirt, no coupons or sales to turn a $20 shirt into a ln $8 one. Most people really like seeing a big number then having to pay a smaller one though.

        I hate that “marketing” is just a science of bypassing peoples’ rationality to sell them on short-term emotion, then reinforcing and encouraging stupidity to keep the loop going.

      They can be good negotiating points, though. Often, they will reduce the price of the vehicle more than the cost of the add on because they make more profit on the add-on than the difference in price of the car. And often the add-ons are preinstalled, so they have to give them to you anyway. Not true for all brands or dealers, but works for some.

      With my last car there was a windshield coating, leather seat coating and bumpers on the door edges. After getting them nearly at the price I wanted, I told them I’d buy the seat coating if they’d lower the price another thousand below my previous price. The windshield coating and bumpers were also on the car when I finally got it. But I didn’t get the warranty on them, of course.

        Something like this happened to me. I ended up buying an extended warranty that I didn’t really want, but it was because I insisted that I’m not going to pay MSRP for this vehicle. They knocked off a couple grand, and I spent as much on the warranty. At least I got something for the money.
