So what's the weirdest thing you've found as packing material?

the 3-4 bags of candy i got from sweetwater -
very odd packing material -thou my kids loved it !
you tend to get more with your first order -every order after that one
they only sent me 1 very small package .
I wouldn't deal with them just for the candy -you'd starve !

I received a guitar packed with what was essentially garbage- empty cereal box, plastic container that once carried fruit, random used paper and cardboard. It wasn’t smelly or dirty. The guitar arrived in good condition. The “packing materials” made it into our recycling bins.

Not so weird, but, I always use crumpled up newspaper that is free and does a great job. I throw in a few uncrumpled pages of local news that the far-off recipient might find interesting to read.

It wasn't a guitar I bought but, rather, a watch.

The "packing" was torn out pages from Penthouse Magazine.

I'd known the seller for some time, so I wasn't really bothered by it, and we both got a good laugh out of it...
