Look at the girth of that dude’s index finger. No wonder it works for him.
Hahaha
The post does not say that you will be able to penetrate with the index finger. It just recommends to place the finger that way.
while you kiss your ass goodbye, and the box of noodles and cheesy flavoring defeats you yet again
I feel the secret might be how the thumb and middle finger squeeze the sides of the box.
I’ll try it out someday, but I probably won’t report back. (Don’t want to get your hopes up).
I used to just cut the top off of the box using a kitchen knife. I would start just below one of the corners, with the box on it’s side, and I sawed through it.
I got some funny looks for that one.
You know that the serrated lines aren’t great when cutting the cardboard with a kitchen knife is legitimately easier. The blade wasn’t serrated, either.
The one that kills me is when the glue they use to close the box is stronger than the box itself, so you wind up just ripping it open.
I think you all just have weak thumbs. I’ve always opened them just as the package says to. Never had a problem.
As a kid, I would have thumb wrestling matches with my older brother, and sometimes, on weekends, I’d hitchhike. I used my thumbs a lot. I’ve had to replace 4 space bars on my keyboard.
Never skip thumb day.
Do you even lift to open bro?
You’re not extending your chi through your finger when you push. The instructions take that for granted, but they really should be more specific.
I tried extending my chi, but it just made my jar of salsa fall on the floor and shatter.
I think you’re confusing your chi with your penis.
It’s possible, but it’s a very high Dex roll.
I actually just recently, after years of frustration, figured out a technique that works. You squeeze the box near the opening so that it bulges out. Then you can poke it with your finger and rip the top open. Feels like gutting a fish, which I assume now is what they were going for.
I usually just knuckle-punch them in.
Latest kitty litter I bought actually says “opens inward for easy pouring” 🙄. Worst part of the chore stabbing it with a finger and hooking the tab back through so it doesn’t block all the litter.
I too have been flummoxed by this obnoxious design choice.
Use a tool. Handle of butter knife, bottle opener. Anything sturdier than a finger those litter boxes are made out of something that masquerades as cardboard, don’t believe those lies!
I too have been flummoxed by this obnoxious design choice.
It’s not that your thumbs aren’t strong enough, it’s that they aren’t sharp enough.
It’s not just you.
90% of the time the whole box collapses before the perforation breaks.
It’s not you. The only person that consistently works for is Freddy Krueger.
Companies do a really bad job at product testing when it comes to opening stuff. The best ones are where you damage the product because it’s so hard to open. It’s like they never thought to actually try using the stupid little pull tab they give us to actually open their own product.
there is nothing more infuriating than buying a jar of salsa from the store, and then trying to open it only to have the jar fly out of your hands and break into tiny pieces that you now have to clean up along with salsa all over your floor.
You have to grunt while you’re doing it like in karate.
Ahhh. See, I usually couple my attempts with something like “you God damned piece of fucking shit just fucking open why do they even put these stupid fucking things on here.” I’ll try just grunting though.
See that’s your problem. Too many syllables. You need one swift grunt to concentrate all your energy.
it aren’t supposed to be your thumb just a thumb.
An unsettling yet plausible interpretation
I have pretty strong thumbs and generally just end up tearing off most of the top and being pissed at the stupid design.
I thought that’s how it was supposed to work?
