"And inside the Million Box are one million little boxes!"

The FedEx guy just stopped by at work and dropped off over 40 boxes, about one foot cube each.

The contents of these boxes?

Each box contained ONE phone charger or holster.

Instead of loading everything into one large box, they sent 40-something boxes, each loaded with one item and tons of packing material.

Oh, I've seen plenty of dumb packaging in the science field.... the current leader for this year and last is a single thermometer (standard size most people have seen, nothing special) that was shipped to us in a 2X2X3ft box crammed with packing peanuts.
