Pay attention to your technique.
Mine is rather impressive once I realized what I was doing. You have to slide your fingers under each corner to break the glue seal without ripping.
Its hard to open a box neatly without ripping the box or tearing the bag inside. That fold over cardboard clasp is very important to keep intact.

    My kids rip them open and destroy them. I pour all the cereal into the Tupperware Cereal containers that keep it fresh :D

    I prefer wedging my thumb under the flap (cardboard clasp) and then sliding it from side-to-side, breaking the glue seals, without ripping. I've always found opening the plastic bag inside without tearing it to be more impressive.

    And let's not forget that the hardest piece of the cereal puzzle is opening the milk carton without having to peel one side of the "spout" off the carton. THAT'S telent. ;)

    This is your 2nd thread relating food, hungry?

    I usually just rip it open. Hell I rip everything open, I dont buy food for the packaging!

    I'm a complete slave to OCD...have to keep it neat.
    The hardest part is keeping the tabs intact, so you can tuck in for optimum freshness.

    If you hold the spoon upside down and use that to separate the two flaps, it works every time and never rips.

    The worst ones are the flaps that bend so the tab doesn't stay in.

    ummm - theres this cool little invention - its called a plastic container ... apparently it has a lid that you can take on and off with no problems at all, and you can fill it up with stuff and it stays fresh!!! for as long as you want!!! and some fancy ones have these little pouring sort of outlets too, so you dont spill things that you need to come out.


    now if only they'd invent a plastic bowl or something to go with it .... :rolleyes:

    But you can't exactly read tupperware containers or play games on the back of them. Boooooooring.
