 Coolness: 93825 | OK
So maybe I'm just having one of those "can't win" days, but I was hungOver as fuck, sitting in my car in a loblaws parking lot, having just bought some GA and some advil, and I couldnt get the fukin seal off of the godamn bottle, my head was seriously hurtin... and it occurred to me... WHY THE FUCK IS EVERYTHING SO OVERPACKAGED THESE FUCKING DAYS, I MEAN FOR FUCKS SAKE, IS IT TOO COMPLICATED TO GO MINIMAL? EVERYTHING IS SO FUCKING SEALED AND WRAPPED THAT HALF OF THE FUCKING SHIT WE BUY THESE DAYS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN WITHOUT FUCKING SIZORS OR KNIVES OR FUCKIN TEETH~! I MEAN JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, YOU THINK THE COMPANIES DONT WANT YOU TO FUCKING OPEN OR ENJOY ANYTHING YOU FUCKING BUY! FAWK! Ufot-everynow and then, a guy has gotta rant |

 Coolness: 159845 | This is all because of a cyanide poisoning scare in the U.S. in the 80s or 90s, I don't recall specifically. Tylenol bottles were spiked and created quite a commotion. The FDA required seals to be added.
Why they are virtually unbreakable now remains to be answered. I remember purchasing a bottle of, ironically enough, Tylenol recently and I tried to use my age old trick of driving my index finger's knuckle through the seal but instead of breaking, it just bent and imprinted my knuckle instead. You'd think those fucking annoying twist caps were security enough but no, a practically unbreakable seal is also needed. I'm way more pissed off at those semi-hard clear plastic packaging that every item seems to be packaged in. Like 2 AA batteries for instance. You have to use a blowtorch to get 2 friggin' batteries out of their packaging. Food I can understand but why are batteries packaged in practically bullet-proof plastic ??? |

I've actually broken scisors opening them and have resorted to these metal-cutting plier-thingies that cut through chain-link fences. |

Now, why do i have a feeling that's EXACTLY what's bound to happen ? I have a feeling they write on the package " Can't open packages like THIS ONE ? Do not fret, this will be the last one you'll have trouble with ! "... ... only to realize it's nothing more than a glorified X-Acto. V2-1 > Laser-operated plastic cutter patent pending |
