I just boil and eat the entire box like any normal person.
I pay for the box. I eat the box.
Most of the nutrients are in the rind, I’m aghast to learn that most people just throw the box away!

When you can’t read the box anymore, obviously…
I swear to God, in all my life I feel like it’s only worked fewer than 5 times.
I think I’ve only got it twice. Maybe I should try harder
The one that kills me is when the glue they use to close the box is stronger than the box itself, so you wind up just ripping it open.
You’re not extending your chi through your finger when you push. The instructions take that for granted, but they really should be more specific.
I tried extending my chi, but it just made my jar of salsa fall on the floor and shatter.
You didn’t expand your ki so you didn’t notice the chili fall. Idiot.
I think you’re confusing your chi with your penis.
I think you all just have weak thumbs. I’ve always opened them just as the package says to. Never had a problem.
As a kid, I would have thumb wrestling matches with my older brother, and sometimes, on weekends, I’d hitchhike. I used my thumbs a lot. I’ve had to replace 4 space bars on my keyboard.
Never skip thumb day.

I can’t quite put my finger on it, but there’s thumbthing weird about that image.
Where is that from? It seems oddly familiar.

Ohh yaaaa
Do you even lift to open bro?
It’s possible, but it’s a very high Dex roll.
Latest kitty litter I bought actually says “opens inward for easy pouring” 🙄. Worst part of the chore stabbing it with a finger and hooking the tab back through so it doesn’t block all the litter.
I too have been flummoxed by this obnoxious design choice.
It was designed by this guy https://youtu.be/2-p8YpR7rJc?si=tOZoJ0fNdzt68p6s
Use a tool. Handle of butter knife, bottle opener. Anything sturdier than a finger those litter boxes are made out of something that masquerades as cardboard, don’t believe those lies!

90% of the time the whole box collapses before the perforation breaks.
I actually just recently, after years of frustration, figured out a technique that works. You squeeze the box near the opening so that it bulges out. Then you can poke it with your finger and rip the top open. Feels like gutting a fish, which I assume now is what they were going for.
It’s not you. The only person that consistently works for is Freddy Krueger.

It’s not just you.
Companies do a really bad job at product testing when it comes to opening stuff. The best ones are where you damage the product because it’s so hard to open. It’s like they never thought to actually try using the stupid little pull tab they give us to actually open their own product.
I just rip open the top of the box instead.
That’s right, I’m a rebel.
You know, I was just thinking earlier this week that of all the technologies we have, it’s weird how much we struggle with perforation.
I ignore these instructions entirely and just open the flappy bits. I am an agent of chaos.
How?!
The glue is usually stronger than the box. I usually just resort to ripping off the top quarter of the box.
