I don’t usually go out for snack food late at night. Last night we were wide awake at our usual bedtime because of the loud music next door. I went for a walk up the street and came back with this…
The packaging is a page from a magazine.
It was a little odd to open it and find the word poison next to my warm almonds. It could have been worse, the page was from November 2004 and the opposite side had a photograph of George Bush and Karl Rove walking across the Whitehouse lawn. The paper is clean enough to save for reuse. I kind of wish that I had a birdcage.
The UK tradition of wrapping fish&chips in newspaper has fallen out of favor in many areas. I can understand the concerns that people might have about contamination of their unhealthy food with chemicals from the ink and the paper. I would still pick newspaper over the polystyrene containers that are replacing it.

I love newspaper wrapping! Not so much of it happening in NYC, but I came across it in India last year:
