The amount of plastic from a Kinder Bueno 4 pack

Each bar is wrapped in cellophane, which are then wrapped in the normal outer packaging. To make the 4 pack, they simply took 2x two packs and put them on a cardboard tray,and then wrapped those.

I don't think I've ever gone through so much unwrapping for candy.

Support your local baker and chocolate shop instead, big corporations aren't your friend but your local small business owner could be

Where I live normal bread like buns, sliced bread and baguette from my local baker are not more expensive than the grocery store, things like croissants and sausage/chocolate rolls are a bit more expensive but way better in quality however pastries and chocolate are disproportionately more expensive there so I still buy those at the store.

Local business owners don't stock their goods at the checkout counter at Walgreens. Also, even though I'm in a big city, no one makes something like the Kinder Bueno, it's not a simple chocolate bar.

Your argument is that since it's not convient or an exact substitution, we should continue supporting these companies that annoy us?
