As for some of the thicker plastic welded items, one slip and you could lose a finger.
I also wish that my body packaging was shrinking at the same rate as the goods inside.
I swear my butt packaging is behind my knees now!
Packaging was changed several years ago to keep the “crazies” from putting harmful items in a package. It is difficult for some to open a package, but it’s just another sign of the times we now live in. It use to be fun to fly too. Putting fewer bran flakes into a Kellogg box is a marketing tool that works and if it quit working Kellogg would do something different. That’s why they pay their marketing people big bucks.
