Mac N Cheese boxes

[Mae13]

You know how macaroni & cheese boxes have that dotted hemisphere on the side of the box that you're supposed to be able to easily punch out and then peel back the top?

This never works for me. Seriously, NEVER! And I've eaten a lot of mac n cheese in my life. Do they do this just to taunt me?! Hmmm, perhaps I can sue Kraft for mental anguish, I'm sure I could win!

Am I alone? Plz discuss

I just rip the whole top off the thing

I just rip the whole top off the thing

me too!

 

[Mae13]

That's what I do too Zen. But it doesn't stop me from trying to utilize the dotted line first! Even when I let my nails out long it doesn't work.

I think my need to accomplish this is some stupid Virgo tendency coming out. Sheesh.

It's a conspiracy.

Any product with those dotted lines won't open with out a knife to cut it, a hammer to bust it or teeth to tear it open.

(the latter not recommended for soap powder boxes)

I only use that little spout thing if it's a box I need to re-use, like if I buy instant rice of instant mashed potatoes.

Otherwise I rip the top of like Ozzy biting the head off a bat!

Grr! Argh!

Why Jazzy dear, did you try that while recording your CD?

I'd think the sopranos would hit EXTRA high notes then, as they ran screaming away...

We're wusses like that

*HUG*

And WHAT IN THE GOOD GODS' NAME ARE YOU DOING USING INSTANT POTATOS YOUNG MAN?!?!?! Real mashed are sooooooo much better and worth the effort!

Feh, I was too busy rumbling out those low D's and Eb's during the Barbar "Agnus Dei" to worry about what the sporanos were doing!

Hey, when you have less than an hour to make a decent dinner between work and rehearsal and such, sometimes you have to make sacrifices. I mash the taters when I have the time to do it, but it doesn't always happen.

I too am of the grab it in your teeth and tear it open persuasion. No litte hemisphere garbage for me! GRRRRRRR

 

[lobito]

If it's child proof, that means only children can open it, right? Things aren't simpler anymore than they are cheap.

I use a butter knife on the little dots...great for my aggression...

 

[Fly_On_Wall]

I usualy just bite the corner and rip the top off but it never opens all the way so i have to dig my finger in and rip the rest open.
