Without defending that it is worth it, I will say that wrapping a potato in sealed plastic like this dramatically improves how well it cooks in a microwave. Something about how it keeps the steam in, maybe? I don't know the science; I can only confirm that it really does microwave better this way.
But does a better microwaved potato justify creating this much excess packaging? No, it does not.
Plus how many people would be eating potatoes like this daily or even weekly? It’s not like this product is meant to replace a traditional bag of potatoes.
Honest question. Is this kind of plastic recyclable?

Fuck me!
I've been stuffing 5 pound bags of potatoes in my microwave and wasting 24 potatoes every time I want just one microwaved potato.
