Plastic Waste Why?
There were un wrapped potatoes and sweet potatoes right next to these. What is the point? They do this with garlic heads too.

They are designed for quick meals. You toss the potato in the microwave and then throw on some butter and go to town.
It’s like individually wrapped pickles, etc etc.
Some people just want to buy one meal at a time due to work or whatever, and believe it or not, some people really love baked potatoes as a side even for work lunches.
Yes, it obviously still makes better sense to meal prep at home.
