   The reason those pears went to Thailand was to be put in that plastic.
   If they went into glass instead the package would weigh as much or more as the product and shipping energy would more than double.
   Because when you double the mass it takes more than double the energy to accelerate it to and maintain it at a given speed.
   Our current economy would collapse.
