Introduction
Polly Wanna Cracker?
No, that's not a parrot talking; it's the name of the newest cracker created by the Keebler Elves! The Keebler factory is bursting with excitement over their latest creation, and they want to get it onto store shelves as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, the Packaging Pixies (a little-known cousin of the Elves) have all gone on vacation, so no one is left at the factory to figure out what kind of packaging to use. The Elves worry about the environment. They need a package that will protect the crackers -- they're not in the cracker crumb business, after all! -- but they don't want to waste any materials or contribute to overflowing landfills.
They need your advice. Will you help them?
