Did you ever wonder how your holiday presents make it halfway across the country without ever getting damaged well -- dot.

UPS has a land where they actually put everything through the -- to see how it'll hold up.

There is literally no better than this job Jeff Flock is looking into it out there and Addison Illinois Jeff.

Looking through the reflection of a glass that will be shattered before this day is over.

I'm -- -- key is say a packaging engineer here and it's fascinating what they put packages through sometimes they make the packages themselves sometimes.

Manufacturers will send them a package to test what are you doing right now -- I'm good performance drop tests that simulates what the packages experience going through small cars on fire go ahead and do -- I think there candles and there one has whoa you're.

And they do it multiple times sorry -- OK great.

One is got I think that was got peanuts this and its packaging material peanuts and and it's -- glass candles.

-- so you do that a multiple times and then you do the woman bubble -- That we do eight.

It drops from eighteen inches and month from 36 which amended right now to say and then what do these guys meanwhile are doing over here they're testing -- TV on our larger drop faster hello.

So.

This is our 36 since doubled the -- job.

How can we look Internet that's got peanuts can we look at that right now isn't it can we take a quick look I just wanna -- -- -- cut it open all day long today we're going to be doing.

-- this these -- cookies.

This is glassware that's been packed with newspaper and also.

In this whole special packaging that man has done this is a product we're gonna test later that somebody shut down and let's take a look -- this and see.

What how did this come out.

Hello well.

Didn't break.

Now this was you thought this might break because it PP.

Yeah it is peanuts to have a tendency is -- around and I'm on the product's impact each other.

And so then I also built another package using air pillows and -- to see hopefully that line in the last -- -- break either.

Well we wanna see some things breaking today -- -- if you can make -- worse package out here.

These guys are just about to break this television again models are.

-- -- -- -- -- funny part of what we thought of you're gonna break that when you took it out of the box is that after all that you dropped it which would have been kind of ironic or typical or something.

We wanted it wouldn't it yeah we wanted to get physically involved in this story as much as possible throughout today to give people a reason to watch Jeff Flock.
