Nooka, venerable maker of sci-fi chic watches, doesn’t want you to throw away the box your new watch comes in. They don’t want you to recycle it either. They want you to eat out of it. Wait, what?
Frito-Lay is pulling its Sun Chips 100% Compostable bags after receiving “consumers’ feedback about the bag’s noise level”. Well, since they are louder than a combat jet, I’m not surprise. Here’s why:

There’s one kinda big problem with SunChips’ new 100 per cent compostable bag: It’s noisy as hell. An Air Force pilot says it’s louder than the cockpit of his jet, and this video test pegs it at a potentially damaging 95 decibels.
