Jim is right ,can you imagine the senario,survivor down in a stormy sea ,frozen fingers trying to open a survivor pack,no way ,it takes half an hour to get into a packet of crackers ,the poor begger would be dead before he could eat anything.Fred.ptfg.

Oh ha! You must have been watching me trying to get into a shrink-wrapped pack of rewritable CDs just now. Nails, teeth, scissors, small pointy knife didnt work, in the end I got the bread knife and sliced into them like a loaf of bread. Needless to say I smashed two of the flimsy plastic cases they come in. As for sandwiches, we have one remaining shop which does fresh sandwiches to order - I go there now, they come in a paper bag which even I can open and they arent stone cold either.

Re-sealable ham packets, can never get them to seal!.. Corned beef tins with that key, there must be an art here?.. nearly always get cut! :(

You talking about the special delivery??

video and dvd wrappers are pants!! if you want to record something in a hurry, you can be sure that the wrapping's still on. I think it's some kind of copyright protection.

Cheese slices............i can never find the" easy to open flap"

Even the biscuit packets that now say open here - open where? I can never see a way in:)) and the child proof medicine bottles, my mother used to ask my daughter when she was about 6 to open them for her as she couldn't do it :)))) Chrissie

I reckon they should get the people who design vacuum packed products to build prisons. No-one would escape. 8m8

Childrens toys sound the worst. Thank goodness I don't have to deal with them as well. I feel sorry for old people who just can't manage at all, also the pill pots, even I struggle with those. Packets of washing powder, bottles of bleach....it's a nightmare.

Hi Joanne The absolute worst has got to be Barbie dolls. The hair is sewn into the plastic packaging and it takes me a good 20 mins to open one, so God help a bairn trying to do it. Christine

They have a secret agenda to kill off the old and frail by starving them to death. How DO you get the clingfilm off a sandwich without a Machete?

Baz, do you think they are just having a laugh with us then?

Does it drive you mad? Anything from a packet of sandwiches to a bubble pack. I need a pair of sissors wealded to my hip. It's always when I'm in a hurry that I can't get the dam thing undone, end up doing an injury to myself and having to deal with that as well. It's so frustrating, or is it just me? Jo.
