Excess

Why is it that name brand English muffins get to sit in a little cardboard box inside the plastic bag? Bread doesn't get a box in its bag. Bagels don't get a box in their bag. Crumpets, tortillas, pitas (well, that one might get a plastic box inside its bag)...all nakedly exposed to the plastic bag. So what makes English muffins so special? Probably just to keep them from positioning themselves haphazardly during shipment, I know. But isn't it wasteful to have them in a box and a bag? The cheapo brand I used to buy back home had them stacked up in a plastic bag. No box. No need for one. Just stacked up and sitting tall on the butt end eng muf (as we like to call them). Where's the shame in that? Couldn't the Thomas people just print their logo on the bag and stack 'em up too? Seems like it would save them time and resources, as well as saving the world from a little unnecessary paper trash.
