Food packaging.

Does it piss you off when you can't open something? I seem to be having this problem all the time, but with other kinds of packaging as well.

Even getting a can of Pepsi out of the multipack is a chore. When I'm stoned and got the munchies, I can't be fucked wasting time trying to open something.

The other week, my friend bought a bag of Doritos and the dipping sauce. He was stuffing his face, and I was stoned. When he got to his bag of Doritos, he found he couldn't open the jar. He was sat there for 10 minutes trying to get the lid off that fucker. He then handed it to me, I tried unscrewing the lid to no avail. I suggested smashing it open with a hammer, but I got my tool box out and levered the lid off with a screwdriver.

Another time, I almost cut my finger off with a Stanley knife trying to cut open plastic packaging.

I doubt the manufacturers of these things care, as long as they get the profit when you purchase an item, they're not going to care if you can't open it, or damage the product or yourself in the process.

That last sentence couldn't be more wrong.

Why? Your first attack failed so it seems you're carefully analysing my post trying to find anything you can to use against me. Get a life, and I mean that in a good way.

It isn't just me who is having problems with excessive packaging, but it seems the problem is restricted to the UK.

Why? Because if you can't open the bag of doritos to eat them, you won't buy them anymore

i dont really want to get involved but pablo i think your being a bit peti and synth i also have this problem it was only the other day i brought a 70cl bottle of lucozade (sp?) sport and spent about 15 mins trying to open it breaking the sports cap(that you get charged like a extra 20p for) in the process only to find out thaey had put a bit of film over the top of the bottle lol so you have to undo the cap take the plastic film of before you can drink it lol..they should make it more clear so that cannabis users such as myself dont waste 15 mins of there high trying to get a drink to save me from the dreadded 'dry-mouth'.

lol anyways i dont really think theres any need to argue :)

So then why don't you stop wasting your time while you're high, and open it up before you get high? Then you won't waste any time when you get the munchies. But I know what you mean, some shit is really annoying to open.

That's true. Also it wasn't me who had the difficulty, it was my friend. And it wasn't the Doritos, it was the glass jar which has the stuff you dip them in.

If my tolerance goes down and I start getting munchies again, I'll definitely try that.

I saw something on a tv show or somewhere that stuff is packaged like that today as a theft deterrent... so get used to it,,,it's gonna be easier to blow up a transcontinental flight than it is to open up a pack of gum...

i hate opening CDs and shit that comes vacuum sealed, like tofu and frozen shit.

I stopped fucking with all that stuff after I got my 1st knife when was a young lad. Other than a candy bar, I just cut the bastard open. I can certainly appreciate the fucked up wrapper from space that you have to open with a welding torch though. Sometimes I really do wonder if they even want to you use/eat it.

Synth...you need a holster with some of those badass multi-purpose shears that they cut spaceship armor with. But don't run with them!

It's so fucking annoying when you can't open something. I bought a 12 month subscription to XBL and the packaging it came in was ridiculous.

its just one of those things

Dude, have you tried opening any Barbie Or Bratz dolls or any kids toy ?? it's fookin' hard work man....my daughter got loads of stuff for x-mas, most of which I had to open for her....the Bratz doll was the worst....15 min. of cursing & cutting & pulling off bits of melt glue & sticky tape to find they are also SEWN on to the packaging....ffs

Some of the plastic packaging out there is hard to open. I got a new electric shaver for x-mas, and I can tell you, they don't want anybody trying to steal their shit. :p It was like mission impossible trying to get it open.

Some things are hard to open, but is it worth posting a thread on a cannabis site? Nah. These are thought I'd keep to myself. :D

Fuck being hard to open, that shit is terrible for the environment.
I'm so sick of this throwaway plastic culture we live in.
