introducing the Anti-Loneliness Ramen Bowl,complete with an uber-awesome iPhone dock. Designed to keep solo diners entertained, the noodle bowl has a built-in iPhone dock placed on one end so you can comfortably view your device while slurping away. Your phone may be vulnerable to splashes of soup, though, as the design does leave it a little exposed.

There is a logical reason for seemingly oversized packaging. Smaller packages are more likely to be damaged or lost (I used to work warehousing for a large company which included stints in Shipping and Receiving). Still, that was definitely overkill.

Yeah, well, at least they didn't under-pack it...
I posted something a while back where someone ordered 12 screws from Dell & they came in a big package with each individual screw in a large envelope. So why is it when you order something like that, you get over packing & when you order something that really needs it, it has maybe an 1/8th of an inch of packing?

The screws were probably already warehoused in the large envelopes. They were probably packed that way in bulk by machine. The large envelopes can also provide a place for a barcode or part number to assist with inventory control.Yeah, well, at least they didn't under-pack it...

The reason larger items are sometimes under-packed is the vendor is cheap. It costs less to handle the occasional damage claim than it is to avoid it, especially since the shipping carrier usually has to pick up the tab.

I remember working in a shipping department at an auto parts warehouse & we got a complaint that the item was received damaged. When it was returned to us, the shipping company stated it was our fault for not packing it well enough. This was quickly resolved when, upon examining the package, tire tread marks were found running across it.
