Hurt the world with more packaging..

The flavour is negligibe.
The taste is good and the kids enjoy them. HOWEVER. The packaging, the plastic, unrinseable packages with the egregiously over-plastic'd caps, the helicoptors, are against what we and many, many others are trying to teach our children - sustainability.
So I have now taught my kids and some of their parents NOT to buy things like this, with incredible amounts of landfill-headed waste. These won't be recycled as the product inside won't come out, and having worked for various environmental/recycle agencies, I can tell you that for a fact.
Kids aren't stupid, did we ever need special plastic fun caps just to get to the good part? No. Does the helicoptor indicate helicoptor parenting?
For shame!
