Damn, it’s like they don’t want you to get at the raisins. There must be a better way… You either mutilate the bag and your fingers, or cut it with scissors (or a knife - not recommended lol) , either way can’t be resealed without additional apparatus

I love knives so not infuriated by that lol

[-] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 1 year ago

What are scissors if not two knives bolted together?

[-] Spliffman1@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Never bring scissors to a knife fight

[-] lasagna@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think the implication here is to take the knife and stab the scissors person.

[-] Almamu@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

The whole idea behind these bags is that you rip them from the top to one side leaving a big enough opening that you can easily close with a clothes peg, the top of the bag even has indentations to make it easy to open

[-] Spliffman1@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Wait a clothes peg?? That sounds so funny, sorry lol

[-] Almamu@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

That was the only translation I could find for "pinza de la ropa" from Spanish to English, IDK if there's a better translation, but looks right to me 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[-] Spliffman1@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It's right, it's just that I haven't seen one of those in like 30 years 😂, eso ya no se usa casi

[-] elscallr@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

"clothes pin" is how we'd say it, but you got the point across.

[-] Disregard3145@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

They know you're eating raisins, so they probably just assume that you're a masochist.

[-] Blizzard@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 year ago

Raisin companies..WHY?

This would suffice. Why change the most delicious fruit into something ugh...?

It's to keep them from drying out.

[-] Spliffman1@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Raisins are also sold in other types of packing without that bag and don't dry out... Like the cardboard cylinder shape canister things

[-] SpezBroughtMeHere@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Dehydrated grapes drying out is a concern?

Now let's talk about stickers on produce that leave adhesive behind. Yet another user experience principle thrown to the wayside by middle management who don't understand the problem the old stickers solved.

[-] waka@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

People are asshats. That's why

It's all about cost reduction and fraud prevention. Those cheap stickers are simply tamper-proof, getting easily destroyed upon removal. Prevents being resticked onto other items. A simple example would be thiefes who remove discount labels or price tags from cheap items and put those onto expensive items, ready to argue that the item must've been mislabled by the store and then insist on the low price. Doesn't work with a tampered sticker.

Also, there actually are easy-to-remove labels being used - just not for pricing out stuff.

[-] emperorgormet@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Well also if something is supposed to be tamper evident they have a (usually legal) incentive to make sure it stays on a all times. They don’t do the testing to find the best sticker adhesive or what is easiest for the consumer because at the end of the day they need it to do one job. You could easily find the best adhesive for the material you are using that stays on very well and can be removed without leaving residue or damage behind. You may have to pay 2 times as much for a better sticker anyway. Not worth the time

You ain't got scissors or a knife? Or some tape or a twisty thing left over from a bag of bread?

[-] Spliffman1@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

And the knife technique is iffy too cause this thick wax type plastic also rips in the opposite direction you want really easily, like down the bag instead of across... Also my 79 yr old mom has trouble using force with a knife on that shit.... And the bag is like waxy, tape don't stick to it hardly at all

[-] elephantium@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You need to use a sharp knife, not a butterknife.

I can say the same thing about Nabisco products. Wheat Thins, Ritz, etc... They also use these impossible to open by hand bullshit bags. They just friggin stretch and never tear! I just want my cheese crispers 😭

[-] Spliffman1@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Exactly lol

[-] XTornado@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Idk I do not trust any nowadays, bugs can get inside even the thick ones by making holes, like the pantry moths and start infesting...

Everything goes to thick solid plastic or glass containers as long as I have available. An infestation it still possible but much more difficult plus they get stuck on the recipient they infested and not infesting everything by the time you notice.

[-] NENathaniel@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

More appropriate than c/shitposting thx haha
