Sugar Packet
De Collectors Collecting Wiki
Sugar Packet is a delivery method for one 'serving' of sugar. Sugar packets are commonly supplied in restaurants, coffeehouses and tea houses in preference to sugar bowls or sugar dispensers for reasons of neatness, sanitation, spill control, and to some extent portion control.
They come in various shapes and, surprisingly, in a range of types of contents. Some shapes are pretty creative and interesting, such as heart shaped packets or even cup shaped sugar packets. The packet's exterior often features different printed images, from brand name to different themed images.
