Daft rant about packaging

[ste huxley]

Right weetabix have got to be the worst packaged packaging EVER

Its a proper mission to get one out, you end up getting millions of baby bix everywhere

When youve eaten about half a pack and you reach down to get another you end up squashing em more to get one out making lots more baby bix, and if you rip it to much they all come out

and more

Corned Beef and Tinned Fish such as sardines also bother me in this way

Sorry rant over

I suppose I had better ask if anyone else has any annoying packaging issues

 

[ClaireW]

Defo agree with ya on the weetabix front .. ya can never get the first one out without making a right mess on the kitchen floor

 

['Shabba']

Superglue!!!!!!!! Use it once then try and open it again and you end up with three fingers superglued together and spend half the night with your hands in hot soapy water to try to get them apart again wondering if your gonna have to go to A + E!!!!! :$

I hate any packaging which is hard to open so you have to really put effort in then the whole bleeding thing just rips right open and the contents goes everywhere!!!!!!!!

 

[Bubbles]

i dont like weetabix packagein either my little girl loves it but i hate it when u get it out and it goes everywhere

i also hate them big bags ov chocolats u get such as malteasers ,minstrels ,revels things like that.mmm cos its well hard to open the bag u pull it open it all splitz ond the choccies go every where i always end up cuttin the corner off

 

[glazzy]

the lids on choc dips are a pain in the @rse the little flap that you r meant to pull to get the lid off isn't big enough to get hold of properly and the stuff the lid is made from is really slippery, and to top it all of they must use really strong glue cos even wen u do get the lid off a little bit u still need to give it a good yank to get it right off!!

weetabix is really easy cos i smash them to bits b4 i open them so they r just dust they wen i cut the packet open i can pour as much dust in the bowl as i want and then add milk...haven't done that in ages though cos not every1 in the house likes dusty weetabix:$

don't rip it and then you can kind of get your thumb under the one that's next to come out and sort of flick it out..hard to explain, we'll do advanced weetabix removal next time you're round. same technique as polo's...

 

[ste huxley]

lol I know what your saying but that still creates crumbs cos you squash em a bit

advanced weetabix removal lolol

i have never been able to open a tin of corned beef with them pissy keys in my whole life, proper do my head in

You should give up trying to put musical instruments down yer pants then

 

[Dj M Jaxx]

I find these the most iratating, and frustrating kind of packaging to open

 

[fugjostle]

Easy solution... eat Crunchy Nut and ditch weetabix


I always have trouble with that shrink wrap stuff they seal DVDs in.. I have no nails and can never get in... with the exception of the ones that have a rip cord

OMG them bloody keys on corned beef!!!! how the hell r u meant 2 use em!!! proper stress me out lol

 

[Konspiracy]

lol - why isnt there a lesson in school how to deal with these items...

 

[Miss C]

LOL! Its a right turn off if a lad cant undo your bra

 

[Sprewell]

This isn't the pakaging's fault It's just me. I hate it when i open a yogurt. The flap never comes off cleanely. It always rips into pieces and i have to go around the edge taking the other pieces off. Lol

 

[blue jammer]

Best way to learn to undo bra's is to hold one arm behind your back, then do the one-arm-bandit trick, and slowly is the key, if you go fast, you're panicking and fumbling and you'll just both get flustered.

Or if you want to show off, removal of a bra using ones teeth, in the dark can be impressive, providing you aren't pissed backwards of course, else you'll wake up having eaten a cushion or some such :S

 

[Dj Ben Fisher]

my worst packagain hate has to be . . microwave meal thingys . . when yr supposed to peel back the clear film . ha ha . every time without fail i pull it and only the overhang on the dish comes of leavin the clear film still coverin it !! . .

Oh no. Dont get me started on Packaging.....


For a start, I hate vacuum packed cheese. Its impossible to get the pack open without the aid of a very sharp instrument and the risk of slicing your hand to shreds.
Then, theres the 'teasers'. Packs which tease you into a false sense of opening security. These are the crafty bastards that frustrate more than most. What they do is display a 'corner' which looks peelable (like on Bacon rashes) where infact althouth you lift the corner, it just will not open and once again a sharp implement is resorted to!.
Already mentioned is the Yoghurt top, a worthy adversary.

Apart from the inherent opening hassles from 'cheap' packaging, what REALLY gets my goat is the WASTE of packaging. Eg:

A box of chocolate cupcakes, this entails a card crinkled base around the cake, a vacuum sealed bag around that, a vacuum formed tray to sit 6 cakes in, cardboard box cover, and sometimes selophane around the box!!!!

Or, like when you go into a supermarket and you see COCONUTS shrinkwrapped in cellophane and a net bag around! Why? WTF? Is it to protect the inedible hairy outer shell. Give me a break! hahahah.

Theyre like russian dolls some packaging, you open a box, find another layer, open that, find another layer, open that find another layer and then you reach the destination!!

Were packaging mad in the west, if its not shrink wrapped, sealed, boxed, bagged, trayed, capped, cellophaned and net bagged, we dont trust it


Im fully skilled in the art of Weetabix opening (after the initaial heat sealed flaps at the top, lol). Also Im fully trained in the art of CD and Video packaging opening, heres the tip:

Get the edge of the CD case or video, and then rub it vigourously over your jeans or over the carpet! Easy.


Im sure someone will confirm that the majority of minor A&E patients are from people trying to open food packages!!!!.

Ps, MissC, thanks for the tip off! and Konspiracy, I think everybody else went to a lesson on that except we must have been off that day! And BlueJammer, youre showing off - one hand blindfolded indeed

See, I saw you were reading this thread, and thought #ahhh sirius will reply with exactly what I'm thinking about and you did#

Packaging is often unecessary, but the funny thing is, once open, you then have to re-package their packaging, as, if you've sliced through it, butchered it or whatever, you'll then have to get a bastard food bag to wrap their packaging in, and bung it back in the fridge, now that is fucked up.
