    Why don’t they use those cardboard tube things oatmeal comes in?

      Here oats come in the same (adequate) paper backs as flour.

      I’m really stepping into a parallel universe right now. I have no idea what problem one would have with paper backs…

        Well that just makes me wonder why it’s apparently okay to ship flour in paper bags but not oats… i mean, rolled oats are a lot less messy than flour, so it’s kind of strange tbh.

          Oats have a higher profit margin. And they’re used less. So they don’t need to ship as efficiently as flour does.
