Bad Packaging

Why can't people make packaging that uses less material AND makes sense. Case study today: the scrubby stuff I buy to occasionally get stuff off of the sinks and bathtubs in my house. I don't use much of this stuff, but when I do, I REALLY want it.

So why is it in this
fricking lame-ass container? See the dent marks from where I try to squeeze the stuff out? This plastic is rock-hard. There is just no way to get anything out of there once you are about 1/2 way through the container.

So what do I do? What any reasonable person with a meager understanding of physics would do: I stand the thing on its head. But it has such a pinhead, it is nearly impossible to do unless I leave it somewhere it can lean. What were the Soft Scrub people thinking?

Here is my theory: scrubby, bleachy stuff that you use to clean your sink is basically the toothpaste of the housekeeping world. It serves the same function, and has a similar consistency (the scrub is more watery, but I imagine this is because don't want to give us as much scrub and because a true paste wouldn't work with this incredibly ill-conceived packaging. ) It is meant to polish and whiten your white surfaces. Sound familiar?

Why can't it be in a tube?
