Plastic Package Opener Irony
Once a year, I can count on my mom sending a practical gift or two. This year, one of the mini-presents was a plastic package opener that would allegedly never go dull. Sounded awesome, as I’ve grown weary of opening up water- and adult-proof plastic containers. Ready for the kicker? The plastic package opener comes in a plastic package that’s equally impossible to open.
Now, I’m all for foiling theives and shoplifters, but the industry must adopt a better standard at foolproof protection. If they’re going to pack something in a plastic coating, at least they could provide USEFUL perforations in key locations. I’m waiting to start getting band-aids in plastic containers so that I can cover my cuts quickly after opening the plastic container containing the band-aids.

I remember back in the day downloading zip programs that were zipped themselves. The irony indeed.

Sure, the Pyranna Plastic Package Opener ironically comes sealed (retailers require it).
So for one last time you’ll have to use a knife or razor. After that you’ll have your Pyranna and no more worries about cutting yourself with a blade or on the plastic package itself.
Enough whining.
For $10 it’s all worth it.
