This sort of package used to be much easier to open when I was growing up back in the 60s and 70s. I don’t know why, but packaging has gotten significantly worse since then.
One of the bigger factors is that in order to cut costs, they’re using thinner and thinner material for the box. So they used to be strong enough to withstand the force other than at the perforation. Now the same perforation is stronger than the boxes’ crush strength
You know, I was just thinking earlier this week that of all the technologies we have, it’s weird how much we struggle with perforation.
