Why do manufacturers make things so hard? I suppose light bulbs could be fragile but not to the extent of this packaging.
I remember when they came in a corrugated card box.

Re: Plastic packing hard to get into...

They put a name to all the emotions you go through trying to get into plastic packaging...WRAP RAGE.

Believe me those words do not even scratch the surface of how I feel about the darned idiots who invent these time so called time saving/keep fresh wrapping ideas nor what I would like to do to them.

The worst ones are a new toothbrush or razor. Those plastic packets are completely sealed all round and you have to stab the things with a really sharp knife to get into them.
