When I order something, it generally arrives in a big cardboard box, with the excess space in the box taken up by air-filled bags which cushion my stuff against mishandling. Sometimes the box is filled with foamed cylindrical pieces of potato starch instead. These are good - they're biodegradeable and cheap and will crush to protect your delivery.
How about combining the two? If I could pay a small (optional) surcharge to have the potato starch cylinders inside the airbags, made in food-grade conditions, flavoured...
OK, you got me. Just put £1 on the bill and fill the box with bags of Cheetos.
Strictly optional, to spare those of us that either a) don't like Cheetos, or b) buy a lot online...-- david_scothern, Mar 08 2014 Pyro Bubblewrap Pyro_20BubblewrapPrior Art ? [8th of 7, Mar 10 2014] Words of wisdom +1
However getting one into each bubble of the bubble wrap might prove a challenge...-- not_morrison_rm, Mar 08 2014 Agreed... and getting them out would be time-consuming too. Surely someone could invent a machine to do both, and then sell it online?
Alternatively, the bags that surround my stuff are quite big - crisp-packet-sized and might be a better choice.-- david_scothern, Mar 08 2014 Genius-- pocmloc, Mar 08 2014 sponge cake-- FlyingToaster, Mar 08 2014 [+]-- 8th of 7, Mar 08 2014 Thinking about it, bags of marshmallows would work equally well.-- david_scothern, Mar 09 2014 Not thinking about it, hot coffee might be nice to get delivered as well.-- AusCan531, Mar 09 2014 <link>-- 8th of 7, Mar 10 2014 [+] Yummy wrap!-- xandram, Mar 10 2014 Be sure and shrink wrap the container lest you be shipping sugar-seeking bugs everywhere.-- RayfordSteele, Mar 11 2014 Surely not, as long as the edibles were properly sealed inside their bags?-- david_scothern, Mar 12 2014 Bubble tea?-- sqeaketh the wheel, Mar 13 2014 random, halfbakery
