....wtf is it there for, a mini tourniquet???? Don't even try to convince me that it is placed there to ease the opening of the band-aid package...And don't get me started on packaging...Too late, I just did it to myself: PACKAGING: "Adult Proofing" is more like it!
Ever try to open a newly bought Play Station 2 remote "package" without damaging the contents or one of your fingers??? How about those individual blister packs for pills, stabbing them with a sharp knife sometimes helps, won't get them open any easier but it DOES help in other ways. Cd's and DVDs Do they really need to be triple wrapped and taped and boxed and etc.? For whose protection is this?
I think that there is a packaging conspiracy going on between the oil people and the pharmaceutical people. Stay with me here: Most of the new packaging problems are due to plastic, isn't plastic made from oil(!?!)... remember that little insight next time you reach for a pair of scissors in order to open up a fresh pack of bacon! The pharmaceutical link? Guess who is there to calm down an overly agitated America, an America who no longer can get shit opened in a timely manor! See, this rant, it's been about bush all along!
