Have you ever wondered why packing peanuts come in a "W" and a "S" shape? Well wonder no more!

This curiosity that caused this choice of article comes from the fact that in our office we have a large box of "W" and "S" shaped packing peanuts and I didn't have a lot to do last week.

ReplyDeleteOh jeez, I totally forgot to comment. But you already knew I thought this was awesome...
ReplyDeleteI am excited for your next Wiki Wednesday!
