I’ve noticed that every product I’ve bought in the past year with a zip-lock seal is destroyed with common use. I actually think the zip-lock itself has gotten stronger. The bag rips before the seal opens on half the bags now and whenever I try to opens bags I had no issues with before, I find myself stretching/warping the plastic before the seal eventually opens.

It’s pretty frustrating and I am seeing it across many products. Cheese bags, storage bags, snacks etc…

      Nah cut here to open is worse. It’s always an inch above where you actually need to cut.

        “Push here to open” on Mac and cheese boxes. I swear they don’t even bother perforating the boxes anymore.

          Yes, this is the greatest lie ever printed. It’s like they forgot it’s in the design file and never bothered to change it after they switched boxes.

      I would say that is high in the list but “pull my finger” is worse. It’s a lie by omission because they don’t tell you what is going to happen next.
