Make multi-serving food packages resealable

Created by E.B. on July 12, 2014

Purchased at a gas station, the bag of chocolate covered peanuts was obviously meant for travelers. Why then, was it not resealable? Anyone that's been in a car knows that loose food is a mess. The bag contained 3 servings. I ate all of them, consuming more calories in the ten minutes it took me to get the bag open and eat them than someone of my size and lifestyle should have in an entire day. In the end, that was easier than dealing with the inevitable mess that is food everywhere the second you have to slam on the brakes or hit a bump. Let's help end obesity in America and require food packagers to include a resealable seal on all packages containing more than one serving of food.
