Now I know who Kettle Chips hired to make their impossible to open bags.
- MartinCron 14y agoI was just thinking about how Kettle Chips have a small but pronounced notch that you can grab and pull. I haven't had any angst opening a bag of chips in a long time.
- unconed 14y agoAnd here i was, cursing the idiot at kettle who thought eating chips from the side of the bag was a good idea. Opening from the top allows for easy reach and easy reseal.
- nknight 14y agoWell, you're doing it wrong. From the perspective of a right-hander: Hold the bag upright with the notch on the left, use your left hand to grasp the upper-left corner, while using your right thumb and index finger to begin tearing downward. As soon as you break into the actual cavity, begin tearing rightward. Invert appropriately for a left-hander. Or just do what I do and keep a pocket knife around. Shrug
- PakG1 14y agoThis post you made is just begging you to read The Design of Everyday Things. :) I'm going through it right now, amazing book. Highly recommended.
- unconed 14y agoSo they replaced an easy and obvious way with one that requires careful coordination. And still ruins the bag for reseal. No thanks. Like the other guy said, "design of everyday things".
- nknight 14y agoI really don't understand the objections. It's quite easy and obvious to me, has been since I was a little kid and was first confronted with sealed bags and packets like that, and I have exceedingly poor coordination.
- MartinCron 14y agoeating chips from the side of the bag After you easily open the bag of chips, you pour them into a bowl and set on the table. Do you drink wine straight from the bottle or pour it into wine glasses?
- unconed 14y agoI know i don't entertain my guests like a housewife from the 50s.
- biot 14y agoMy good fellow, I'm sure that when you partake in the delicious fruit known as an apple, undoubtedly you do like I and first neatly slice and core the apple. Once the fruit is thus prepared, I find that arranging it neatly in a circular pattern on a fine porcelain plate (preferably covered with an exquisite paper doily) is a most acceptable presentation format. How uncouth are the heathens who consume the apple straight from the stem, exposing the unsightly core in plain view.
