It's nice of you to offer your assurance, but as your assumption is totally incorrect I didn't bother reading the rest of your post. 
I'll make this clear: Global corporations needlessly spend millions on packaging to make the product more attractive to the buyer. However if they cut the packaging the consumer would buy the product anyway, and litter would be reduced drastically. But the corporations are so determined to protect their billions in profit they see this as a commercial risk, even though research says this is not so. Fact is they would be saving money, not wasting it.
Some packaging is completely unnecessary, you are right there. But your examples of McDonalds and cigarette packaging are bad examples to prove the point you are trying to make. A good example is the snack boxes that you can (or could) get on Easyjet. Easily half of the weight of the thing is/was the packaging. The food was a TINY amount of the weight and volume.I'll make this clear: Global corporations needlessly spend millions on packaging to make the product more attractive to the buyer.

Walm has comprehensively dismantled the packaging argument, which seemed to be an ill-informed attempt to conflate turtle death by carrier bag with filthy streets.

Oh yeah, I see lots of EasyJet cartons lying in the street and on the beach.

Have a word. Think you've been reading a different thread mate. Walm has comprehensively dismantled the packaging argument, which seemed to be an ill-informed attempt to conflate turtle death by carrier bag with filthy streets.
