Frito-Lay Twistos: Why Does a Coupon Need a Plastic Bag Around It?

When ordering a baby gym from Toys “R” Us last week, we received a couple of coupons in the box when it was delivered to our house. One of them was for a snack called “Twistos” from Frito-Lay.

Is this coupon so precious that it needs to be hermetically sealed in plastic?

Why is this coupon so heavily guarded?
What confused me was why a coupon that came in a cardboard box would need a plastic bag around it. What a waste. How many coupons did Frito-Lay print? And then to wrap each coupon in plastic is an added waste, especially if they don’t get used. I won’t be using mine and unfortunately, it’s just more plastic for the garbage and more paper for the recycling bin. What ridiculous overpackaging, Frito-Lay. Coupons don’t need a plastic bag around them.

Not one, but two pieces of paper in the plastic.
