Be Excellent To Each Other

This packaging is hard to open! Damn packaging. Who makes it? Why can't I get into it? I want the thing that is inside the packaging but it is hard to open. I think this packaging is the worst.

I counted 14....

What? Counting packaging? I can't can't see any packaging, especially easy to open ones. Why don't they make packaging easy?

Count again.

Maybe we're not talking about the right kind of games.

I wish Dimrill would post a list of things we are and aren't allowed to talk about - it would be much easier.

I'm obviously missing the point as well then. I can't imagine why given that it's been so clearly communicated...

I have a tool for opening cardboard boxes, it like a knife, but the blade is hidden away so you don't hurt yourself. Sadly, as the blade is hidden away so you don't hurt yourself, it is far less use than a knife so I mostly just end up using a scalpel blade - I would use the scalpel holder as well, but people keep stealing them. no one has stolen my box opening tool though. I think that tells a story in itself. Anyway inside my latest cardboard box,, there was an oven and someone had wrapped the entire thing in shrink wrap. I attempted to use the box opening tool to open the shrinkwrap and I had a little success, but still fell back to using the scalpel blade, although I did try pulling it apart a bit as well, but shrinkwrap is tougher than you think.

So, like, shrinkwrap and clingfilm, that's, like, the exact same thing, right?

No no no, look; shinkwrap shrinks but cling film clings. If your shrinkwrap clings or your clingfilm shrinks then you're doing it wrong.

Should this thread be a sticky?

I wouldn't want to handbomb product with clingfilm.

Or a clingy?

I helped shrinkwrap someone to a pallet once, and we used the forklift to put him on the top shelf of the racking. Surprisingly hard to get out of.

Worst packaging ever: original Xbox peripherals. Never opened one without drawing blood.

The worst thing I ever opened? A can of whoop-ass.

AKA Aldi own-brand baked beans.

Had it gone off? I hate it when that happens, and you end up with what is basically a can of gently-stroke-bum. You need to try and avoid the dented ones.

This is the first thing that sprang to mind too. CYE is absolutely the best thing.
