Packaging


Japanese stores and products use a lot of packaging. If you buy chocolates or candy, they are almost always individually wrapped. When you buy anything at all it gets wrapped as well as being placed in a bag. At Kiddy Land we bought some toys which were wrapped, placed in a plastic bag and taped, then placed in another bag. At Disneyland they wrap your things, put them in a bag and then add a few empty bags in case you didn't have enough.


However, supermarkets seem to be the worst. They put anything at all in a bag to be placed in your big bag. They bag fruit, meat, eggs, fresh food, tinned food, pretty much everything except big cardboard boxes. They put your tins in a smaller paper bag together. They bubble wrap any glass jar or bottle. They have ice packs in which they offer to wrap your frozen items.
