It means annoying manufacturer packaging is eliminated (think those plastic cases that you need and arc welder and dynamite to get into). It is essentially open the amazon box, and viola your product (in this case the candy will likely still be in a sealed bag of some sort)

frustration free is basically an easy to open box. Retail packaging is the semi hard plastic packaging that is sealed and requires you to cut into it to open it. Frustration free is the way to go unless you plan to resale it.

Frustration free means it comes in a smaller box and you have to put all the pieces together. It's pretty easy with this toy. They snap together quite easily. Standard packaging is the traditional kind in the store where the toy is all assembled and you have to have scissors to cut all the ties on the packaging to get the toy out. There is a lot of throw-away with this type of packaging. Hope this helps.

Frustration free is just that, it us easy to open. With normal packaging you may need a knife or scissors, with this type it may be just tide with a string and simple knot that comes undone just by pulling the string.

Standard packaging is a pain to get open; usually plastic sealed around the edges, pieces difficult to get out of pkg. Frustration free packaging is easy open.

I have owned both - no difference just packaging. Usually one of the two is cheaper from day to day.

When I purchased this toy, I don't recall if it was "frustration free" packaging, but it was in a "normal" toy box from Fisher Price, not some generic cardboard. We gave it as a birthday gift to a 2-year old. She loved it!

Frustration Free packing means the 20 pack are in a plain carboard carton box. The Standard packaging doesn't have a sealed cardboard top and instead has a heavy duty like plastic packing shrink wrapping so you can see the actual contents from the top.

I don't understand what frustration free packaging means? I ordered two Optima Batteries from Amazon and I had to "jokeling open them up with a crow bar. The packaging was the best and most secure that I have ever seen. Isn't that the purpose? to get a quality item shipped without damage and not have FFD (frustration free damage) Great Product and Great Packaging. VERY HAPPY! PS: You buying the battery or the box it comes in?

Just easier to unpack. Something like this it probably wouldn't make much difference. Things like batteries, etc that are packaged in those hard plastic holders is another story. Personally, if the cost is the same as stated below, I would always opt for the frustration-free. ;-)

I assume Frustration Free means it is the actual box of the item, it is not placed in a larger box, that's how mine was delivered.
