They don't come in boxes anymore... they come in a mylar bag.
Folgers doesn't come in a badass steel can anymore, it comes in a handy 'shatterproof' tub.
Hershey's is no longer the rad Charley & the Chocolate Factory foil wrapper... it, too, is in a ghetto mylar bag.
All this to save .0126 cents cost-per-unit, but what bullshit.
(Anytime they want to move something to a crappy plastic container, they say "New Shatterproof Fun-Size!!")
Tell me other ill-advised packaging changes, there's plenty...

All Marshall Field's stores will convert to the Macy's nameplate in fall 2006. This includes 62 locations in Michigan, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Indiana, Ohio and South Dakota that will continue to be operated by the Minneapolis-based division that will become known as Macy's North.
"From a shopping standpoint, customers will have the best of both worlds in major markets like Chicago, Minneapolis and Detroit. They will continue to benefit from regional buying that remains attuned to local preferences and lifestyles, plus enjoy the distinctive merchandise and shopping experience that's part of the Macy's brand," Lundgren said.
"We have great respect for the legacy and traditions of Marshall Field's, and we carefully researched customer preferences and studied alternatives before making this decision to incorporate Marshall Field's into the nationwide Macy's brand," Lundgren said. "While the store's name will change, much of what customers love will stay the same, including Marshall Field's traditions and its outstanding record of community and charitable giving. As part of this name change process, we will do everything we can to honor the Marshall Field's heritage, particularly in its Chicago birthplace."

Beer in a can is gross enough. There's no way that I'm going to drink High Life like I'm drinking a Mountain Dew or something.
