What’s ironic is that there is a product designed to open those easily… and guess what kind of package it comes in?

I have to agree with the “bra doesn’t belong on this list” sentiment… I’m a woman, so of course I have no trouble with it, but the guys I’ve been with usually can do it even better… instantaneous, one-handed… I use both hands and I do it every day! Guess it’s all about the motivation, though the angle probably has something to do with it as well.

Remeber when toys (esp. Transformers) used to come in a styrafoam tray, inside an easily opened cardboard box?

i think “cardboard box lightbulbs come in” should be on there. i think it’s funny a delicate piece of glass has 1/1,000,000th of an inch of cardboard protecting it from the other lightbulbs.. yet you need a large machete to get a cd out of it’s case.

I have a little two-incher that sits on my key ring attached to my belt. Course, I also have a 5-inch folding knife in a different pocket, but that's in case I need to shank some vatos. Or, ya know, open a letter or screw down a flathead screw.

By: Robert

Robert — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 08:15:56 +0000

Yeah…that stuff is nasty. First it’s shrink wrapped, then they heat treat it so the plastic on the top is no longer really two separate pieces.

I liked the ones Transformers, Ninja Turtles, and Power Rangers always came in–plastic covering w/cardboard backing. I got to where I could surgically remove those suckers, once upon a time.

Put it in the microwave! That's the coolest thing EVER!

Me too! I learned how to do that at 12 from Maxim magazine! You can bet the first girl I did that to was damned suprised.

There’s a trick, but it only works if the CD’s jewel case has a ridged edge. Just scrape it over an L-shaped (90°) surface, like a counter edge. Comes right off!

When I was 9 years old I accidentally took a pocket knife onto a plane (it went through the x-ray machine, too). Once I realized I had it on the plane, I decided that since I had it I might as well use it…I carved my empty Sprite can into a slinky! The flight attendant walked by at least three times while I had the 3 inch knife in my hand.

Oh, god. I think you just solved the life’s mystery as to where I got the scars on my hands, too. I can’t go to any family gathering without someone asking why the scars on my hands have doubled since the last time they saw me. One of those curses of having children that want things that come in those devil packages.

6 hooks?! For the love of god, how big were those girl’s jubblies?? I have DDD’s and my bras only have 4 hooks!

Worked in a music store for several years. It’s really not that hard to open.

1. Locate the edge with all the ridges.
2. Locate an edge of a desk or similar 90 Degree Corner.
3. Press the ridged edge of the CD Case against the corner and rub furiously.
4. ???
5. Profit.

If you have problems with the adhesive strip holding the CD together, go back to Elementary School and master sticker technology.

There was a US Soldier who had wire cutters confiscated. Problem is, his jaw was wired shut, and the wire cutters were, in that case, a medical device, in case of vomiting, so he wouldn’t aspirate.

And he DID have a note from a medical provider for them. This was a while ago, but the incident left a bad taste in my mouth for airport security, especially since people CAN get things like boxcutters through.

I agree, clamshell packaging should replace bra… I am a guy and I can unhitch a a bra in a second or less… with one hand.

Bras are easy, one handed, even a 6-hook one. Just takes a little practice.

If it’s a Miley Cyrus CD, it should be destroyed immediately and the person who bought it should be punched in the face. :]

I’ve done that so many times… Keys, scissors, screwdrivers, pens, knives… Worst product packaging ever.

I can’t believe “clamshell packaging” isn’t mentioned. Those damned things often have to be viciously attacked with something sharp… and then you cut yourself on the plastic as you attempt to pry it open.

Those cd case things ought to come with a bandsaw or something.

You know, airport security is really… very strange. I got 3 boxcutters through on my carryon (accidentally) with no problem, but I had zippered pockets and, well, that warrants a full-body pat-down…

Depends how long it took you to get the knife. ;P

Or just poke that little indent on the side that the plastic’s stretched over.

I am too, but if its plastic wrapped a knife saves me a few seconds of pulling.

Or just pull out a pocket knife if you don’t feel like wasting about 5 seconds.

No, you’re not the only one. I am quite capable of opening the packing of CD’s and DVD’ s unarmed.

It’s not hard to breach a hymen, only to avoid causing pain to at least one party in the process.

Seriously. I think those probably account for a number of the scars on my hands that I cannot place.
