Why is EVERYTHING so HARD to open?
I get so tired of just trying to open products. Anything you get from the grocery store that has that little zip thing across the top, like on shredded cheese… You try to tear it, and it breaks off halfway. Then, once you use the rezipped feature, it doesn’t work. So you have to go ahead and put the cheese in another bag anyway. In addition, just little things like make up, or small items, trying to get into the box is like Fort Knox. Also - I don’t usually drink soda pop anymore, but trying to open a Coke, or Pepsi, or even a Gatorade, is so difficult sometimes, and the Coke and Pepsi caps actually tear your hand apart. I do home repairs on the side, so I’m not weak.
It’s so infuriating!!! 🤬😡
End of rant.
Best answer in my opinion is cheap products and the big companies don’t care about the consumer. It’s all a making the money. I buy Applegate turkey and ham. I was just complaining about this. The turkey comes in a resealable plastic bag. The ham comes in plastic bag with peel away plastic that’s supposed to reseal. It doesn’t so I have to use a ziplock plastic bag. I have problems opening most any jar. Even my husband has trouble at times. I’m old school and bang a butter knife on the lid of glass jars to loosen seal. It works! What gets me is I have trouble opening things and the thief's or children can open things. This isn’t a manufacturing problem but I do wish the stickers on food glass jars would come off. I save good jars. They are great for food and storage around the house. I don’t remember having the problem with labels years ago.
I have noticed this too! Especially anything thats glued and supposed to come easily when pulled off, and lately the glue seems to be some super sticky kind that cannot be pulled of. Even simple things like lunch meats.
I honestly theorised that there is a glue mafia going around.
Glue mafia! Odd thing for me, though, is that I love adhesives. All different kinds. But I do home repairs, so there’s a specific reason why I like them. It’s one of my favorite aisles and Home Depot.
