The Junk That Gets Made

I was going through my email and found this. Totally forgot to post it from way back last spring when my best friend was visiting me from Hawaii. She and her husband stayed at this old hotel in Kenmore Square and in the room was this hilarious, unforgettable bar of soap. I think we gawked and examined it for an hour because none of us had ever seen such BAD DESIGN!

What we couldn't figure out was: on the packaging it boasted about being "green" and saving the environment, blah, blah, blah, yet the waste it produced by the expensive die cut of the box and eliminating the center of the bar of soap itself! "Waste reducing"... hardly.

Whoever thought it to be clever to die cut a hole in a small bar of hotel cheap soap so you can put 3 fingers through it?? I wish my clients were so care-free with their budgets to allow such madness... for I could put it to much better use.
