scissors

today i bought a new pair of scissors. i decided not to spring for the $14.99 fiskars, and instead got this pair for $5.99.

package front side

in the car on the way home, i took out the package to take a closer look, and to my surprise, the directions for opening the package look like this:

package reverse side
so... i say this.

dear scissor company,

please change your packaging so that one does not need a pair of scissors to open said packaging.

sincerely,

shana

i especially like the 'warning: enclosed product has very sharp blades, use with care.' IF I COULD EVER GET THE PACKAGING OPEN!
