You may know this: when Crate and Barrel ships things, they wrap them up in this packing material, it’s one layer of tissue paper and one layer of this stiff paper netting. It all comes in one continuous sheet, wrapped several times around the object in question to protect it in transit.
The brushed-stainless-steel colander that I recently unwrapped? It had just over thirty feet of this stuff wound around it. THIRTY FEET of packing material for a basically non-breakable object. I appreciate that they don’t want my new colander to get dinged or scratched, but thirty feet? Really?

By way of compensation, the present Ben and I got for you is wrapped in about two feet of clean laundry.
