Why don’t they use those cardboard tube things oatmeal comes in?

Here oats come in the same (adequate) paper backs as flour.

I'm really stepping into a parallel universe right now. I have no idea what problem one would have with paper backs...

Circles leave gaps during shipping.

Well that just makes me wonder why it’s apparently okay to ship flour in paper bags but not oats… i mean, rolled oats are a lot less messy than flour, so it’s kind of strange tbh.

Oats have a higher profit margin. And they're used less. So they don't need to ship as efficiently as flour does.
