It's not just access but also excess!

According to research the average popular chocolate Easter egg in the UK is 60% packaging

Although some manufacturers reduced their packaging this year, reducing the average weight of eggs by 33 per cent, Swiss chocolatier Lindt had the most excessive packaging, where the chocolate made up only 9 per cent of the volume of the box!

OK as the research stated they "remain one of the most excessively packaged and wasteful products available," however the example is still to be found in many other foodstuffs and other products but......

is this a record?
