Before dinner I thought it was food, boy do I feel silly.
Comment on Once again, I am calling on manufacturers to improve their sealing glues
fiat_lux@kbin.social 10 months agoYou can just see the two shredded sections on the edge where I was deliberately and carefully trying to include all layers and they just tore off instead. I don't know if this is a technique thing, but if it is, I would love to know what I am doing wrong, because it happens to me all the damn time.

Lol, no worries. Food ones always seem to work better too, but as soon as it's medications or supplements, they use the shitty ones or the over-secure ones. We should get the peanut butter and Pringle's manufacturers in the room with the pharmaceutical industry and make them talk.

the worst are the pills in blister packages where the foil is stronger than the pill itself, so you just end up crushing the pill inside. like I get blister packages are supposed to make it harder to get a ton of pills out at once, but if it forces me to grab scissors anyways that kinda defeats the purpose

Huh, I've never experienced that. And I take a lot of pills. They might have really bad binders or compression at the factory where they're making yours? But that does sound very irritating, I'm annoyed enough when I cut pills in half and it breaks into not-halves.
I have, however, cut myself on the foil a few times. And that stuff is sharp. Not sharp enough to get through the shitty seal in my first pic, but enough to really slice fingers if you're not looking.

It’s not you, it’s the design. The only means of getting a clean top that I’ve found is to split the seal at the middle with a knife and rip outward.
