We recently purchased these nesting blocks for our youngest son, and the packaging was so hilarious I had to post.
In the picture you can see where the box advertises the “blocks nest for easy storage.” You’d think this important selling point would carry over to “nesting for easy packaging and distribution,” but the manufacturer decided it was necessary to separate the blocks into two groups and bag them separately so they wouldn’t nest, thereby requiring a box twice as tall and a bunch of extra plastic waste.
Why would making it appear that the blocks take up more room be advantageous to a product that is obviously meant to save space?
We purchased these to replace a worn-out set my older son used, which actually was packaged in nested form, with the largest box having a closing bottom and carrying handle. Unfortunately this kind was no longer available, or I would have went for that instead.
