Previously I would receive the 24 bottles of Glucerna in a cardboard box, and I easily could remove them and put them in the refrigerator. However, now the bottles are packed in the same box with a plastic soda bottle style additional wrapping dividing them into 4 six-packs. This extra wrapping is very difficult to remove. There is a pull-tab to release the bottles, but it never works! It just tears and pulls off leaving the bottles still very tightly bound. I need to use a razor blade or scissors to cut the plastic off each individual bottle. I have Arthritis, and it can take a half-hour, or more, to complete this task. Then, you're left with the plastic rings that you often see turtles and other animals choked to death with with on environmental websites! I can't understand why this unnecessary extra thing was added to the packaging. I believe that it is a petroleum derived product which makes it even more environmentally unsound, but, basically, it just makes it very difficult to unwrap the product and serves absolutely NO purpose (except, perhaps, to enrich the oil companies and kill innocent wildlife after it is disposed)
