Pet Peeve # 64,376...

I've got an issue with pull tabs. They are on food products everywhere.
This morning, I tried to open a container of oatmeal and the pull tab broke off.
I needed a knife to pry it open.
Lemon juice has a snap open top and the first use requires removal of a pull tab.
It broke.
Same with the rice vinegar... broken pull tab.
Milk... pull tab.

very mad

hmmm Seems like the real problem isn't the pull tabs, but the strength or skill of the person pulling on them.grin

wave Chat...
No... I rule that out. Finesse and dexterity are in my favor!
laugh If you say so....
Just keep a knife handy or you can write to the manufactures.
Changes like that don't happen.
With any of those products it would require a complete change in manufacture of the pull tabs.
I'm hearing ya Chat, Bunderberge ginger beer have pull tabs and every 3rd or 4th one the tab breaks laugh then its out with the good old knife to rip the tab off and spill some drink on yourself..
Useless pull tap on a large coffee can, had to use a knife to open the foil on that can. grrrrr
Here's a photo of the actual pull tab (ring) that broke. It's the thinnest part of the entire top.
Designed to fail.
