Why Amazon boxes are too big sometimes

Funny story about this. My brother once bought a NERF gun I think, and it came in the NERF box, packaged in this rather large-ish cardboard box, which was then packaged in this absolutely fucking massive other box. This last box was big enough for my brother to comfortably curl up in AND us close it up.

I'm pretty sure it optimizes for Amazon more than anything else.
