To Hell with the trick tools. I say declare these packages "dangerous products" and get rid of the damned things.
Them and "stink-finger" single-ply toilet paper.

I agree! I just saw it on TV this afternoon, thought it was funny, and decided to share it with you guys.

OK - it's blister pack season again. Folks all over the planet are lacerating their fingers trying to get at Christmas goodies trapped behind thermo-formed high-strength PCTFE plastic.

Amazon, however, is fighting back. I gifted my wife with one of their "Kindle" readers. It came in "certified frustration-free packaging" - as stated on the simple cardboard box.

CERTIFIED FRUSTRATION-FREE PACKAGING. Someone finally listened to the cries of pain and got the message. GO AMAZON !!

Glad someone finally got it right. We mainly got our kids boring, practical gifts like a book or clothing this year, but the toys they did receive were ALL packaged in triplicate wire ties shrouded by the notorious blister packs. I almost called the manufacturer to rant.

Especially when it is 80 grit.
