So as someone who works at a place making these packs, they're really used for theft prevention. Pain in the ass, I know, but they're hard to open for a reason! But hey, I do agree, companies should invest in finding a safer, recycling-friendly alternative.

Pro tip: Use a flathead screwdriver and a hammer to open blister packs. Just slip the flathead under the edge of the plastic and give it a gentle tap. Works every time. No more battle scars!

lol... maybe you're just weak? 😂

I s2g every piece of tech I got as a Christmas present was in one of these soul-sucking, finger-damaging monstrosities and I STILL can't find my Nintendo. #LostinThePlastic

I totally agree with you, it's high time to say goodbye to these blister packs. Apart from being dangerous, they're crap for the environment too. So much unnecessary plastic waste!

I feel you, man. But you can use a can opener on the edge to open them. Less chance you'll injury your hand that way. Learned that trick from working in a crafting store for years.

Dude, tell me about it. The other day I bought this new pair of scissors. Irony of the century, you literally need scissors to open the scissor pack. Smh.
