A confession by the man who designed the seals on those *&^%ing crisp packets that you need a rhinoceros to open.

I understand he's gone into hiding now.

    Coupled with the product-tampering nuts (who should be drawn and quartered on general principles), it's no wonder you practically need an industrial metal-cutting brake to open a bag of snacks.

    Myself, I stick to a rather large pair of seamstress' shears. The straight-blade kind, not those weird zigzag ones.

    cheers

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
