secondly, over my break, i had bought a pair of scissors and this is where my post is derived from:
is it just me, or do americans have a really funny way of packaging their goods?
||scissors|| if you've ever bought a pair, you know what i'm talking about. it's covered in like, government plastic, which requires a scissor to open your new scissors! so if you're buying scissors for the first time, good luck.
||light bulbs|| perhaps the second most fragile thing next to a baby's head. they are packaged in THIN paper cardboard...yeah. i don't really get that logic. they really should wrap it in bubble wrap and then stick it in government plastic. seriously, not enough things are bubble wrapped around here.
||pickles|| are always packed like sardines in their jars. and by the way, sardines aren't all that packed. the saying should be changed to 'packed like pickles.' it could catch on. but anyway, there is never enough room for fingers to grab a pickle so you end up sitting there minutes at a time trying to strategically move them around in the hopes of getting ONE free while you get pickle juice all over the place.
||toilet paper|| if you're going to glue the first flap down, then don't use freakin super glue for goodness sake. it always takes me a long time to find the first flap like the toilet paper manufacturer intends to make me sit on the toilet and spin the damn roll this way and that way to find the flap. they should do it like tape. have the first flap decorated with a design or tape a big red arrow that points to the flap. it's irritating.
