Poundland has been accused of creating unnecessary plastic waste by selling "nothing", with heart-shaped packaging, for Valentine's Day.
Called "Gift of Nothing", the product is on sale for a pound and comes with slogans "exactly what you asked for" and "less, that's more".
While some have found the novelty gift funny, the environmental groups have called it "symbol of everything that is wrong with our world view".

Julian Kirby, Head of Plastics Campaign at Friends of the Earth, said: "It's almost an enigma in itself.
"Who would really want that and who would buy it?
"The rest of the world sees only the need for the most essential plastics, with a rapid elimination of all useless plastics, so let's hope that this madness like this remains without love and does not reappear."
Poundland defended the product as being "a little fun," but did not say it could be recycled.
"Our customers love this like many others online," said Poundland in a statement.
"They all know that it's a little fun and that we understand that this is always allowed in moderation."
Sian Sutherland, co-founder of the anti-plastic campaign group A Plastic Planet, said, "How can Poundland think that everything is fine?
"This product is designed to go directly to the trash but will last 500 years.
"It's a symbol of everything that's wrong with our worldview. We treat our beautiful planet as if it were disposable when it's all we have. "

Many buyers have shared product photos with complaints about its use of plastic.
"OMG is just a useless plastic pollutant packaging for literally nothing," tweeted former Countryfile TV host Julia Bradbury.
However, many others have found the product fun.
"To all the women here, do not tell your other daughters that you do not want anything for Valentine's Day, because that might be what you get," Kim Patterson and five laughing emojis tweeted.
L'utilisateur de Twitter lottyburns a écrit: "Le prix 2019 pour" tenter sa chance "est attribué à Poundland, pour son" rien ", le cadeau de Valentine qui coûte encore un cd!
Sophie Davis, a customer, saw the product in a Poundland in her hometown of Glasgow and said the gift was "irresponsible".
«À une époque où de nombreuses personnes sont de plus en plus conscientes de l'environnement et font de leur mieux pour utiliser moins de plastique à usage unique, c'est le summum en matière de consommation insensée et de pure perte», a déclaré l'écrivain de 27 ans.
"It's a cheap laugh for 30 seconds that will end up in a landfill for the next thousand years and it's irresponsible for a huge retailer like Poundland to sell such a product."

Hugo Tagholm, directeur général de Surfers Against Sewage, a déclaré: «Ce produit, ou devrais-je dire un emballage en plastique pour rien, est le nœud de la stupidité des fabricants, des détaillants et des consommateurs.
"No one has ever asked for plastic pollution as a gift.
"As the movement to separate our world from useless plastic grows day by day, we need to stop this kind of blatant environmental vandalism."
