I love Andes mints as much as the next guy, but I HATE wasteful, deceptive packaging:

The extra half inch of packaging on the top and bottom serve no justifiable reason that I can think of. When unopened, the wrapping surreptitiously conceals this dead space.

Notice how far my fingers go into the pointless pyramid at the bottom of the package.
Consumer Reports has a running feature (I think it's called "The Black Hole") on deceptive packaging like this.
Drives me crazy.
