Foo - Hold Here. Lift and Tear.

Do you follow the instruction on every single food item that is sealed in a bag of some sort? Who are these instructions for? Aliens from other planets? I have yet to follow instructions on how to open any wrapped food product. If it comes down to me not being able to open it and I need to consult these directions, I say F it, you're going in the trash. You're not worth me eating.


My inane observation of the day. Carry on.

Yes.

Not really.

pens, scissors and letter openers are extremely useful food opening tools while at work.:thumb:

No. If this food is that stubborn, they don't deserve the use of any utensil. Maybe a hammer. Just to smash it then throw it away.

I'm ninja so I use a katana blade.

If I can't open it by hand, the microwave does an amazing job of opening it. Especially canned stuff.

:notamused:

Never. My wife always does though and get mad at me.

Grab knife, cut open opposite end of the package.

Ain't no box gonna tell me how to open it.

Everything should be in squeeze tubes.

What is this 'instruction' thing you speak of?

I hate their kind....all that squiggling....and snootiness...

By the way, I'll take any food packaging over that awful plastic bubble packaging that everything comes in these days. You know, the stuff you basically have to whip under the lawnmower to get open.

I've yet to see the packaging that can withstand the wrath of the infamous...

TITANIUM SPORK!

http://www.thinkgeek.com/images/products/zoom/spork.jpg

And don't get me started on the "safety seal" thingie.
You take the plastic wrapper off the top of the squeeze ketchup and flip the lid .... and nothing. That's right, you have to take off the lid and rip the plastic safety seal off the inside.

Do you people not own pocket knives?

I usually have about three knives on me at any given time...

But the power of the spork is just too compelling.

That is something that drives me nuts.

I always have my mini leatherman on me, it has an awesome pair of scissors and a sharp knife. No packaging can withstand the wrath of the Leatherman Micro. Mwahahaahaha.

A tangent, perhaps:

Anybody ever notice that when you have a boxed food item with a perforated opening, the perforation is the STRONGEST part of the package? As in, you can tear and pound and thrash that sucker, and you will invariably find intact perforation in your pile of detritus.

Think cheap mac n cheese.

I never had that problem, since I usually take the whole top off the box with one of the knives I carry.

Fine, don't follow the instructions.

But, if you do happen to manage getting a package open, make sure it can be resealed unless you're gonna finish it. Finding stale once-opened food weeks later just because someone was too damned lazy to open it properly or close it properly is just plain selfish.
