Have you noticed how difficult it is recently to open those plastic packages with food, so you end up just cutting them? Or how the tab you pull to open juice cartons always breaks off and you have to make a hole? Or how impossible it is to extract batteries from plastic blisters, even with scissors? Someone once designed that packaging to be easy to use, but since then the materials and processes changed, and they no longer work, but we have forgotten how to design them correctly.

@pavel Yeah, they became really dangerous in the last five years.

@rasterweb @pavel I'm sure it would be possible to design packaging that would be both safe and convenient, if only anybody cared about that. As it is, the only ones who are able to open those blisters are the children.

@rasterweb @pavel I choose safe and convenient, what do I do to get that?

@rasterweb @pavel Or stick some nails and coins into a lemon, I suppose. What happened to the invisible hand of the market magically adjusting to the customer needs, eh?
