[QUOTE="sirius, post: 243492, member: 258"] Oh no. Dont get me started on Packaging.....:rofl: 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! :rolleyes: 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 :rofl: 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 :mad: Sirius. [/QUOTE]
