The folks over at The Register posted story about an amazing excess of packaging from HP. Apparently in an effort to send some licensing certificates, each set of two certificates was wrapped in a piece of foam, packed into a small box, and then the 16 small boxes were packed into one big box - which from the photo looks almost like two smaller boxes taped together. It's really stunning the amount of packaging for 32 sheets of paper.

Has HP not heard of envelopes? Or better yet, email? Next time you feel the need for bubble wrap, go virtual for your popping with this online bubble wrap popping flash tool and package things a little less.
