How to Open those Annoying Clamshell Packages

What has happened to packaging?

For who knows how many years, emphasis was on easily opening packaging from the consumer's point of view.

The easier a package was to open, the more buyers would purchase it.

Duh!

Yet, somewhere along the line, the focus shifted.

Now, particularly in the case of imported stuff (and what isn't imported??), the idea is to make a package that provides some physical protection for the item, as well as protection from shoplifting.

You hear that, honest shoppers? We are all now considered potential shoplifters.

Shades of Microsoft's WGA.

Anyhoo, today's FamilyFirst pick is called How to Open Rigid Plastic Clamshell Packages Safely.

The included videos show how to simplify the annoying task with a standard can opener and a pair of tin snips.

Happy unwrapping!
