Is it just me? (7)
In a way it's good, cause I seen this lady open up some potato salad, in Aldi she was standing in
the isle sticking her hands in it eating it, I thought she was gone buy it, instead she put it back
next to the meats and I let the manager know
so no one would buy it

Orzzz: Or have child proof and safety sealed become enter proof? I went to open the seal on pouring paints for crafts. Pry edge with nail. grrrr....get pliers...get bits of foil. Get knife...wont cut or stab. ARGH! Finally got hole in through foil and plastic liner under foil and no way to cut or tear. sigh...at least did get it open.
Try to open soda bottle. Twist to break seal. It DOES have a seam doesnt it...ooph..ow..finally. Now just tried to open a bottle of Two Good smoothie. No way! OK there appears to be a tear line for plastic wrapper. Finally got it torn off lid and...now snap the cap seal!
I do appreciate the safety seal idea. But, it is getting ridiculous. It is not supposed to seal it for eternity companies! And I am no weakling either! It has to be that caps and seals are getting stronger.
Understood and, the plastic that is wrapped around some things are like crazy!!! It's like if they put that much into the product they would def have a winner!Try to open soda bottle.

All this trying to get people to cut back on waste....but they should audit the commercial producers of different products and reduce waste at source ....it's ridiculous the amount of wrapping and double wrapping on different things you buy....but I suppose every wrapping machine and robot would have to be seriously reconfigured to cope. Like why would you wrap a glass jar or plastic bottle in a thick sturdy film.....are the contents that disgusting to look at from the side

"Child proof" isn't what they intend. It may have started that way. The object now is to make is tamper/theft proof on the shelf. The makers cater to their customers--the retailers. They do not care about us.

I do believe that more could be done to make things more lightweight than they already are. I mean you can plumb your house with the grip strength of a dying man's handshake. Your house is made out of Lego. Try to open soda bottle. Twist to break seal. It DOES have a seam doesnt it...ooph..ow..finally. Now just tried to open a bottle of Two Good smoothie. No way!

But why don't they? Do they think it's patronizing? Or just assume that the retired have a lot of free time anyway?

To cut waste, make things usable after initial one. I save cartons from cool whip, cottage cheese, etc. I still use plates that came with Le Menu meals back in the 70s! I reuse zip lock bags, wash and do til they get icky. Long ago, lots of things were sold in cans and boxes that could be used over by homemakers.
Now they spend more to give less. Outer seals. Inner seals it takes a saw to get off. Stick it in a plastic bag and then into a box double the size. Think we don't know your trick?
Chips drive me batty. One bag can be opened a bit and clipped shut til snack is gone. Others, no matter how carefully one opens, tears down the side. Is their hope it will spill on floor so you have to buy more?
Long ago I saw that shoplifters carried a ring knife. They would take the blister pack off, pretend to examine it and put it back up. What they were doing was slitting the back, removing the item and replacing the empty package.The old saw is where there is a will, there is a way.
Now they just rush in, loot a ton and rush out with no stopping. So the seals dont do anything except drive a real customer nuts!
