Plastic cover

In Sweden we remove the plastic cover from things we buy the minute it's ours, but here they keep it on til it falls off by it self.
I guess it's to protect it for as long as possible, but also to show that it's new.
Like this car. Cars are super expensive here so having one gives you a special status.

We went to a newly built dentist hospital and as you can see they have kept the plastic on the chairs.
Surprise, surprise!

It can be tricky to remove the plastic, when you buy for example a chair or a bike, since they put the plastic on each piece before they screw it together.
So there is always some left even if you try really hard to remove it. Not a very smart system, I must say.
