I’m sure that most of us have ordered something online and, excited to receive it, gathered a package in from the porch…only to realize that the package is far too big for the small thing we bought and paid for, right?

I think this is the smallest package they have.
I’ve never seen a smaller one, have you?
Does that stop the listeria from festering inside?

Y’all I really want someone from these companies to just explain it to me, because it has to have something to do with their bottom line, right?
