Plastic Packages Cause Injuries, Revolt
massysett writes "Everybody has been frustrated by plastic retail packaging that's nearly impossible to open. New toys and electronic gadgets arrive encased in plastic bubbles. Manufacturers say the packages protect goods and make them look nice, but opening them can be difficult enough to cause injuries that land people in the emergency room. Manufacturers have an appropriate term for the frustration: wrap rage. One man even invented a cutter designed specifically for cracking open plastic clamshells."
If the Knife is good and sharp you can easily control where it goes. The real problem here is people using dull knifes. My swiss army which I sharpen every 2 weeks on my electric kitchen sharpener works perfect for opening this stuff. The only downside is I need to buy a new knife every couple of years when it gets low. But there is nothing like a sharp knife. Just think of the sharpness on a good knife when its new. Thats what you get again and again.

re:"I forgot about the importance of medical bills to building a case."
No you didn't - everyone parades that fucking example out for the general public. Oh look let's sue like the Coffee girl. Bah - fucking skin grafts, what a cunt. She should have sucked it up - that BITCH!
Just another jackass playing into popular myths, instead of using the brain you have.
Fuck you. Unorigonal asshole.
Exactly, when my latest iPod arrived, I was able to open the container one handed whilst I used the other to hold the video camera recording the event :).
