Packaging you hate

Sometimes, I like a nice convenience curry sauce.
The ones that come in 3 sachets, enclosed by the instructions, stapled together at the top by a fancy round 'staple'.
I'm sure the makers don't think anyone over the age of 30 will be using them, but, oh boy, getting them opened without losing half the contents is very tedious.

That's my pet hate, but I'm sure there are more...

Ermal Fraze invented ring pull cans in 1959.
I have to say, I prefer his idea to that of the idiot who invented the stupid corned beef tins - Peter Durnad in 1810.
They definitely need revising!!

Those silly little one-portion packs of butter, jam etc drive me mad They have a little tab which you supposedly pull to tear the lid off. In reality it is virtually impossible to get hold of the tab as,it's,s

Oops pressed send too soon...
The tab is so small that the only way to open the pack is by stabbing it with a knife
