Blister packages

I really regret that I don't have a photo camera at the moment, because I could demonstrate a curious fact. When I browsed the flash modules at the electronics store today I wondered why blister packages often have a bulge on the backside, hollow, often square and of no use but to make them bulkier. I thought.

When I came home to journey off into DS-land (covered elsewhere)  and I tried to open the DSTT blister I was amazed when it came apart and I held two identical packages in my hands, only one labled with a price-tag. I was now the proud owner of two DSTT modules where I only paid for one.

What happened? Well the blister for the DSTT does not have such a bulge on its backside, so two blisters got stuck inside each other and the clerk handling it failed to realize. So I guess that's where these bulges come from, but maybe I'm completely off-track.

In any case, as that DS-thing didn't work out so far it was a lackadaisical stroke of luck.
