Stupid Plastic!
I know plastic protects contents from being damaged… I know plastic keeps items safe, secure, and dry… I know plastic is almost completely tamper-proof… but I've just about had it with these stupid casings that everything comes wrapped in nowadays. Even by using scissors, I sliced the tip of my left index finger while trying to open something last night. Then, I ran into “child safety” issues when I opened my Darth Vader lollipop twirler this morning. Either these containers need to come with easier pull-tabs, or I need to open up a line of credit at the local hospital (and buy stock in all public bandage corporations). I love plastic as much as the next human being, and I'm even willing to overlook the fact that it's not biodegradable, but I fret picking up any package that's wrapped in this impossible-to-open plastic.

Chris,
check out the OpenX package opener: http://www.myopenx.com.
I just found this thing on a gadget site I read the other day, and it's revolutionary. :)

Tell me about it! I get my Ink cartridges from Costco to save money, and they package them in indestructible plastic. Whenever I open these things, I wrap my hands in MoleSkin(r) and use the Joyce Chen scissors designed for cutting the bone out of the meat. This is ridiculous! :-(

If you want a product that really works on those stubborn plastic packages… visit http://www.myopenx.com Plus it works on other stuff too. I bought both and only the OpenX worked.
