An exasperated Amazon customer has posted a video of 62ft of wrapping paper snaking through his house - that was used to "protect" dog food.
Nick Taylor said the box used to deliver the bag of food was "big enough to live in" and claimed the food didn't need to be packaged at all.
Nick laid out the 19-metres of packaging paper in his home in Bath and posted the video to Amazon's Facebook page.
The trail starts in what appears to be a utility room and leads in to a dining area before entering the kitchen itself.
From there the paper enters the hall, where the dog food can be glimpsed in its heavy plastic packaging.

My son, for his upcoming 28th birthday, is getting a power strip with lots of USB connectors for charging all those devices that these kids today have (music players, phones, tablets, etc.)
It's wrapped, inside a box that's wrapped, inside a box that's wrapped, etc. finally in a box that a computer case came in, wrapped with a bow on top.
I wish I had read this article before I wrapped it; sixty-two feet of packing material would have added such a nice touch!

I once received a 1x2x2 box. Rather large. I could not remember what I had ordered that would be that big. Opened it up and nothing but air pillows. Odd. Then taped to the bottom was the 2 pack of coin cell batteries. That is my packing story THE END.

Meters, feet, inches, or centimeters?

You mean "metres, feet, inches or centimetres". We're talking units of measure, here, not measuring devices.

I prefer to pack my smaller presents in a box of cereal., under the bag of cereal, box opened from the bottom then re-glued shut. My secret santas tend to not be amused when they unwrap their gifts.
