Americans would never understand how to use this and would be annoyed by the complexity. I know I'd just be ripping the cardboard off the top in frustration myself. Who can understand complex geometry when you're already a quarter wine bottle into friday night pasta night.
> reduces food waste and ensures consistency in portion control.
and that's strike two because I'm pretty sure large food producers don't want to discourage people using up the product more quickly.

- shermantanktop 9mo agoAssertions about entire countries from an outside perspective is common on the internet. As someone with family in two different countries I’ve become sensitized to it and I see it all the time. Just like stereotype-based humor about gender or race, it has to be done really well or it is (to me) annoying. Usually it rests on reductive ideas that are driven by media imagery rather than experience. “Americans are fat! Ha ha”. Or “Spanish people are always late! Ho ho.”

- zzzeek 9mo agoI was being lighthearted but since you're making it serious I actually think the product as implemented is truly a bad idea. It seems to use more packaging material, is indeed complicated to open and people should actually measure pasta using an actual measuring guide that is not disposable. When I clicked the link that's what I was hoping to see, not a cumbersome packaging gimmick. If that's all American cultural (which was the joke part), then great ! I hope the idea is successful in Australia.
