I am a fan: less packaging.

I saw this new packaging at Kroger & bought a pack of granola bars. No box, just rip off a bar when you want it!

* You may break your bar in half the first time, as I did, by slowly and uncertainly tearing the bar off, however, if you rip it off quickly and with confidence, the bar will be in one piece. It's like learning to crack an egg without getting bits of broken shell in it.

I do like not having to recycle the extra box, but I don't like that I still have to throw away the individual wrappers and the amount of waste the individual wrapping causes for the sake of freshness and convenience.

Bigger picture: Quaker is rethinking their impact on the environment, and I like that.
