Time Saving

There's an advert on TV at the moment in which Ainsley Harriot looks mockingly at an 'old fashioned' dishwasher detergent tablet which has been put in a glass case as if to suggest it's some sort of historical curio. Meanwhile he sings the praises of a new kind of detergent tablet that has no wrapper. This apparently saves you time when using it.

It's only an advert, I know, but I think in a small way it shows just how absurd things have become. Apparently we're all so impatient now that we can't even spare the 2 seconds it takes to remove a wrapper from a dishawasher pill.
