Somebody had to do it.I appreciate you.
whenever somt says I appreciate you, it triggers my delusional love and hormonal responses because the man I was in love with always responded “I appreciate you” whenever I told him "I love you. " 😭
There is so much promise of back story baked into this comment.
That is a sweet moment. Thank you for sharing something so personal with us
And I appreciate you. You are awesome! Just in case no one told you today.
And that’s why I appreciates you
They’ll make the glue even stronger…
The glues work fine, it’s the paper/cardboard that failed because the glue was stronger.
It’s the worst when it happens to boxes because instead of collapsing a box proper you have to tear it to fucking pieces, THANKS OBAMA.
The fucking texture of that cottony shit left behind, like nails on a chalkboard trying to rip it all off.
But that costs money and how are we gonna make even more money if we reinvest any of the earnings? 😩
They need to talk to the people who make flour bags. Those paper bags glued shut with the strongest glue known to man, so that they are impossible to open without tearing a big hole in the bag, rendering it impossible to store the flour in.
You shouldn’t store flour in the paper bag it comes in anyways, flour should be stored in an airtight container.
I do move it into glass jars, but those bags drive me crazy. Always spill flour opening them.
Scissors?
No, it’s rolled up in a way that prevents it being opened neatly. I do use scissors on the Red Hot Blues tortilla chips, those have a similar problem but the shape of the bag allows it to be cut cleanly.
You need a container written flour on it. Ideally one with a cover that barely holds, dont ask me why it’s like that.
How about the ones that get fused to the opening like someone was welding fucking steel girders together on the Golden Gate Bridge?
The irony of that being true for my ADHD medication bottle is not at all lost on me. It’s like a tiny extra “fuck you”.
Ugh, this is my migraine medication. I have to open the little blister packs in advance because they’re so hard to open that I often just can’t do it if I have a migraine…when I need the medication.
“Oh I’m sorry did you need some medication?”

And they have no pull off tab, and your finger nails are just a tiny bit too long and you bend one the wrong way 🤕
That is one of the worst feelings.
It needs to be the opposite of improved. If they improved it, you’d never get it open.
They keep a record of complaints as part of their CAPA. Any food related issues should always be reported, helps quality dept.s push for more funding.
So what exactly is their phone number and address to direct complaints and feedback to?
Look at back of product. Often it’ll have someoney like, "If you have any questions or weren’t fully satisfied call this number. ". Or it might be on their site now.
Should be pretty easy to find on their packaging or website, as it looks like someone else here pointed out :) Also, we can’t tell what the hell it is so not sure how you could think we could tell ya… :)
And then the quality department uses those complaint printouts to level their wobbly tables in the cafeteria.

You may be interested to know that these kinds of paper adhesives are usually intentionally designed so that the substrate (paper) tears before the adhesive does. This is meant to ensure robust packing and to give proof that the package has not been tampered with. Couple this with ever thinner and shittier substrates, and, well…
Ugh. I believe them already. It’s sealed for my protection. I get it. It says so nearly 100 times. I don’t check the seals for syringe marks first either, or the factory’s latest cleanroom maintenance logs. Just let me in, I already paid the extortionate entry fee.
Seriously though, I wouldn’t mind so much if they always were just paper I could poke a finger through at the end. Sometimes there’s another super stretchy thick plastic layer under that which resists everything but blades. I don’t want to keep a knife in my bathroom, but I’m getting to the point where I’ve thought about it.
Just chew through the container. Pussy.
Drill through the bottom!
You think you can drill through the bottom? 🙄 Clearly thermite is the best way in.
What we need to talk about are the built-in ziplock style closers on plastic bags that are everywhere now. Even makers of premium foods can’t seem to get this right. I can only think of one product where the closer is an improvement on having nothing.
Boar’s Head Deli meat. I guess the guys who sell spam for the price of a good steak can spare the expense.
I’ve got a couple of things that I buy which have the best ziploc seals I’ve ever seen, and I wish I could reuse the bags for other things, except they’re opaque and printed. But I have definitely met my fair share of terrible ziplocs too. Nothing like spending 10mins struggling with a shitty ziploc seal when you were just trying to put some food in the freezer.
the worst is how my migraine medication comes in the most hard to open package
Try getting arthritis meds in a child proof container! Almost impossible to open even if your hands do work properly. Repeatedly ask to put in normal screw cap bottles but they never listen.
what am I looking at?
This! I just bought a water bottle, and it took the following measures just to get the residue from the label off:
- Soaking in warm, soapy water
- Scrubbing with an abrasive sponge
- Soaking in vinegar
- Scrubbing with Flash floor cleaner
- Immersion in boiling water for 30 mins
- Scrubbing with a Brillo pad
- WD-40
- 91% concentration laboratory-grade isopropanol
You need d-limonene (orange peel extract) for adhesive removals. It works wonders by comparison to the things you tried, but even then I can still spend a good 10 mins on the same problem!
Isn’t that just goo gone or am I mistaken?
It looks like Goo Gone has some in it, but it’s mostly petroleum based. D-limonene is a nifty (refined) by-product of citrus agriculture, it’s essentially just the oil from the peels. I use a product that’s basically half D-Limonene, half anionic and non-ionic surfactants (which is somewhat the equivalent of shampoo and sugar alcohol).
I would have tried that if I had any. Somehow, I have laboratory grade chemicals in my room, but not a drop of orange oil in the entire house!
I hear you. I definitely recommend picking up a tiny bottle of it, a little goes a long way! I’m still using the same 6oz bottle I bought maybe 7 years ago!
Olive oil helps too
