I hate them

I like them but not when they stick to me. I ship my ebay stuff with them. My dog likes them too but she eats them. Not good for her trust me!

I'm with Banshee! Man, those things go EVERYWHERE. Whenever I get a package with those I *carefully* open, try not to move them around any more than I have to, get my parts out, immediately close the box, and call a hazmat team to remove the box to the garbage

I hate them too, heard of someone actually using REAL pop corn instead....will deterioate! or you can eat them....

yea im not a big fan of the packing peanuts. they are very good at making a big mess really quick. but bubble wrap is very entertaining stuff.

<---mixes them with Mac & Cheese for the kids, makes one box last for two nights = more money for the bird!

LOL!! That last one made me laugh so hard I almost spilled my Cheerios!!! I'll definitaly have to try that

Actually some of the peanuts I use are made of potato starch. Once they are in contact with water they disintegrate completely...these are the ones my dog likes to eat! Maybe I'll try some of THOSE in the mac n cheese! mmmm, crunchy!

Big improvement over crumpled newspaper.

LOLOL

I like getting the crumpled newspaper, beats shreaded. Got my last shipment from Ames and caught up on the latest happenings in New Hampshire

I noticed that too - interesting things happen up there in NH.

But then your hands get all black

We get a mound of those things at UPS from shippers that put heavy items in boxes filled with it. It's not the packing material to use with heavy items. The packing gets crushed, item shifts and the carton gets breached and the styrofoam explodes out. Next thing ya know you have it sticking to you... everywhere!

69 350 ragtop mentioned bubble wrap. When I worked a one GM dealership in the body shop we used to play games with the mechanics in the stalls next to us. We would take the bubble wrap new parts came in and wad it up and put it under the tires of the cars they worked on. As soon as they backed out it would make all kinds of noise and they would slam on the brakes to see what they ran over. Man those guys were crabby. They needed to sniff some more paint fumes.
