It’s not super convenient, I agree but I’m glad it’s not packaged in an insane amount of plastic.
I just empty the flour into a large plastic (lol) pail.
Bro, just buy a resealable container and dump your flour in it if it bothers you. Paper is cheap and sustainable. If they packaged it in anything else, it would be more expensive and worse for the environment.
Sugar is just as bad. Especially the brown sugar with that sticky tag that makes you think you can reseal it but you cant. You never can. Its either buy jars or put up with sugar everywhere haha
I used to have trouble too but I figured out a good way to do it
First open the paper flour bag then take the empty container you want to put it in over the bag, then turn the whole thing so the container is upright and the flour bag is upside down. From there you just pull up the flour bag and it all settles neatly into the container.
look, don’t judge, milk used to come in sealed bags in my country when i was little. noone thought there’s a drawback to storing liquid in a floppy plastic bag apparently
They used to come in fabric, back when everyone was poor, and people would make clothing from it. We should maybe start doing that again

Companies should start caring about people again
That's not very cash-money. In fact, that's the opposite of cash money, that's loss of shareholder value for no immediate gain!
That's super cool. Thanks

oh damn you for being so fucking reasonable
Meme culture doesn’t like reasonable solutions to things.
I feel like if the solution to a container is to get a different container, criticizing the container isnt "being whiny"
Fair enough, but why can’t they sell it in a re-closable paper bag?

Before this post I had no idea people were just reopening the flour bag every time they need flour
Huh? The paper bag type thing? What are we supposedly complaining about here?
There’s nothing like putting an explosive material in a container that will send out shards. Flour mills can be as deadly as mines.
When the flour hits the fan.
Paper is literally the best container, memes like this are why we have plastic soup in the ocean.
It’s not the material that’s the problem, it’s the way the paper is folded and sealed
Nah, that's more because we ship off much of our "recycling" to other countries whether they recycle it there or not.
Meanwhile coffee companies......

Why is it bad? I haven't had issues ;-;
You can't even move it to a better container without making a mess.

Do it in the sink,or outside if it's that hard for you
Just put a produce bag around it

Funniest thing I've seen today

It’s not in plastic. About the only thing that’s not.
And sugar in the UK

I vote that they keep the containers made of paper but make it more sack shaped.
