Rabbits Against Magic by Jonathan Lemon for March 30, 2024

Been there.

Chew the packages open.

If something comes in a blister pack, I don’t buy it.

I hate those things. Thanks, Jonathan. Maybe they’ll listen to you.

I remember when cassettes came in those things you could never open!

Sure, and by the time you get the light bulb out of its package, you will have broken it

Another wasteful use of plastic.

Get the tool box….☹️

this one just doesn’t cut it

One more occasion when I’m glad I carry a Swiss Army knife.

They are called that because you get a blister trying to get something out. I truly hate them

Why do they call them blisterpacks? I call them jet-age plastic packaging. Also, Larry David did a 10 or 15 minute piece on just this subject.

Legend says God gave the first blacksmith the first pair of metal tongs. Turns out a pair of metal tongs is necessary to make a pair of metal tongs.

Until I read the comments, I thought he was handing him his phone, with a picture of a pair of scissors on the screen.

From now on, instead of becoming frustrated and yelling out: “I hate this f*ckin’ tight plastic packaging!”, I’ll start yelling instead: “I hate f*ckin’ blister packs!”

They’re made to be opened with a CAN OPENER. Give it a try, friends.

Yep, you buy a product encased in 19 layers of thick plastic but when you go to pay for it, they charge you for a bag because they are ’trying to reduce their use of plastic".

Frustration free packaging is another benefit of getting stuff from zamaron

I will stop carrying a knife when they stop wasting plastic on customer-proof packaging.

Several years ago, my mom and I were going on a trip. On the first leg, she realized she forgot her headphones, so we stopped at a store in the connecting airport to buy another set.

They came in a blister pack. And because we were in an airport, we couldn’t find a way to get it open. We asked TSA agents if they had a knife, we popped into a dozen stores to see if they had scissors (we weren’t even asking to borrow them, just “Hey can YOU open this?”). We finally asked a TSA agent who took it to the security lines to see if any pocket knives had been confiscated and opened it that way.

Then we get to our destination and we’re unpacking and Mom found her headphones at the bottom of her backpack.
