Somebody had to do it.
I appreciate you.
whenever someone says "I appreciate you," it triggers my delusional love and hormonal responses because the man I was in love with always responded "I appreciate you" whenever I told him "I love you. " 😭
And I appreciate you. You are awesome! Just in case no one told you today.
the secret is they should be using wax instead of glues, but that requires a warm squeeze and they are trying to save a thousandth of a penny and hope nobody notices. i email the CEOs about it.
That'll show em
The glues work fine, it's the paper/cardboard that failed because the glue was stronger.
It's the worst when it happens to boxes because instead of collapsing a box proper you have to tear it to fucking pieces, THANKS OBAMA.
the worst is how my migraine medication comes in the most hard to open package
How about the ones that get fused to the opening like someone was welding fucking steel girders together on the Golden Gate Bridge?
And they have no pull off tab, and your finger nails are just a tiny bit too long and you bend one the wrong way 🤕
That is one of the worst feelings.
Or the pull off tab rips right off, leaving the seal itself perfectly intact.
The irony of that being true for my ADHD medication bottle is not at all lost on me. It's like a tiny extra "fuck you".
You may be interested to know that these kinds of paper adhesives are usually intentionally designed so that the substrate (paper) tears before the adhesive does. This is meant to ensure robust packing and to give proof that the package has not been tampered with. Couple this with ever thinner and shittier substrates, and, well...
Ugh. I believe them already. It's sealed for my protection. I get it. It says so nearly 100 times. I don't check the seals for syringe marks first either, or the factory's latest cleanroom maintenance logs. Just let me in, I already paid the extortionate entry fee.
Seriously though, I wouldn't mind so much if they always were just paper I could poke a finger through at the end. Sometimes there's another super stretchy thick plastic layer under that which resists everything but blades. I don't want to keep a knife in my bathroom, but I'm getting to the point where I've thought about it.
I know what you mean. I wish more stuff could just be packed in glass jars with the little popping seal. If it's popped, it has been opened. I don't know if everything can handle the pressure difference... But it seems ideal. Plus then the glass jars and aluminum lids can be recycled.

Have you considered just not eating peanut butter in the bathroom?
Or open it in the kitchen first.
The knife can double as a poop knife.
It needs to be the opposite of improved. If they improved it, you'd never get it open.
Only if you define "improve" as "make stronger."
If you define "improve" as making it more user-friendly, then they definitely need to be improved.
Do you want good adhesive properties or to not taste the adhesive in your food?
This and every single perforated paper/plastic that never fucking tears correctly.
But that costs money and how are we gonna make even more money if we reinvest any of the earnings? 😩
Line must go up!
They keep a record of complaints as part of their CAPA. Any food related issues should always be reported, helps quality dept.s push for more funding.
And then the quality department uses those complaint printouts to level their wobbly tables in the cafeteria.
So what exactly is their phone number and address to direct complaints and feedback to?
They need to talk to the people who make flour bags. Those paper bags glued shut with the strongest glue known to man, so that they are impossible to open without tearing a big hole in the bag, rendering it impossible to store the flour in.
You shouldn't store flour in the paper bag it comes in anyways, flour should be stored in an airtight container.
Literally me today with a small soap container, but it was a trifecta: the lid separated from a plastic seal under it as with the picture, with the tiniest of rim you can barely get with your fingernails to pry it off to begin with, and a seal so strong you can't just puncture it with you fingers.
As with another suggestion I just used thermite.
I haven't tried to open this way forever. Puncture the top and pull to the outside.
am I looking at glue that didn't come off, or something that spoiled because the glue didn't hold?
The bond between the seal and the jar is stronger than the bond between the layers of the seal. So peeling it separates the layers and leaves behind the thin papery final seal layers instead of removing the whole seal.
Admittedly this is better than the seal on one of my medications. It removes in one pull... if you can find and pull the tiniest sliver of edge of the seal, because they leave zero overhang.
The glue around the rim of the cup is too sticky, so it left behind a layer of cottony paper when the label was ripped off

What we need to talk about are the built-in ziplock style closers on plastic bags that are everywhere now. Even makers of premium foods can't seem to get this right. I can only think of one product where the closer is an improvement on having nothing.
Boar's Head Deli meat. I guess the guys who sell spam for the price of a good steak can spare the expense.
