Damn, it’s like they don’t want you to get at the raisins. There must be a better way… You either mutilate the bag and your fingers, or cut it with scissors (or a knife - not recommended lol) , either way can’t be resealed without additional apparatus
✂️
The whole idea behind these bags is that you rip them from the top to one side leaving a big enough opening that you can easily close with a clothes peg, the top of the bag even has indentations to make it easy to open
They know you're eating raisins, so they probably just assume that you're a masochist.
Raisin companies..WHY?
This would suffice. Why change the most delicious fruit into something ugh...?
It's to keep them from drying out.
Now let's talk about stickers on produce that leave adhesive behind. Yet another user experience principle thrown to the wayside by middle management who don't understand the problem the old stickers solved.
People are asshats. That's why
It's all about cost reduction and fraud prevention. Those cheap stickers are simply tamper-proof, getting easily destroyed upon removal. Prevents being resticked onto other items. A simple example would be thiefes who remove discount labels or price tags from cheap items and put those onto expensive items, ready to argue that the item must've been mislabled by the store and then insist on the low price. Doesn't work with a tampered sticker.
Also, there actually are easy-to-remove labels being used - just not for pricing out stuff.
Well also if something is supposed to be tamper evident they have a (usually legal) incentive to make sure it stays on a all times. They don’t do the testing to find the best sticker adhesive or what is easiest for the consumer because at the end of the day they need it to do one job. You could easily find the best adhesive for the material you are using that stays on very well and can be removed without leaving residue or damage behind. You may have to pay 2 times as much for a better sticker anyway. Not worth the time
You ain't got scissors or a knife? Or some tape or a twisty thing left over from a bag of bread?
I can say the same thing about Nabisco products. Wheat Thins, Ritz, etc... They also use these impossible to open by hand bullshit bags. They just friggin stretch and never tear! I just want my cheese crispers 😭
More appropriate than c/shitposting thx haha
Well actually it's a vent and venting is mentioned as part of shit posting in the info sidebar, but I changed anyway, sidebar says venting, banter, anything goes... So I think it applied.. Unless you applying some other rule from some other source
You could make an argument its fine in shitposting but, it clearly makes more sense here
Idk I do not trust any nowadays, bugs can get inside even the thick ones by making holes, like the pantry moths and start infesting...
Everything goes to thick solid plastic or glass containers as long as I have available. An infestation it still possible but much more difficult plus they get stuck on the recipient they infested and not infesting everything by the time you notice.
