I would like to express my rant about those packagings around electronic equipment. One of those clear plastic ones that are designed to "sandwich" the devices and also hang it on a metal hook on display shelves. This things are absolutely impossible to open. Why do I have to feel inferior and retarted while opening simple packagings? The last thing I want to do after I come home with brand electronics that I spent my bonus on is to run over and get a band-aid because the sharp plastic edges just sliced open my hand? (I just spent an hour opening the Sonicare replacement heads packaging.)
Readers have left 5 comments.  1. StevenOI have experienced something similar with potato chip bags. I just want to enjoy my delicious potato chips, and the bag won't open. Then it explodes everywhere in the room. Embarrassment for me, wife is pissed off, and hilarious for those around. 2. IppTak I honestly have seen similar packagings used for a a pair of scissors. Irony? I think so. 3. Chris Yeah that packaging is nasty stuff. One major problem is that it is absolutely impossible to open without a sharp object. What if your parents don't let you have scissors? Then what are you supposed to do? 4. swesson I don't mean to be the voice of reason here, but I think they intentionally make it hard to open so it prevents shoplifting. The reason it often hurts people while opening it? Well, I guess they really don't like shoplifters...or people who pay and bring them home. Wha? 5. jholtz I don't know. preventing shoplifting is one thing but those packages are beyond ridiculous!bv |
