Easier maybe, but no where near as manly.

asking the store to cut it before going home
electric scissors
cutting along the edges
rotary saw or table saw
cutting straight down the middle like a boss
using teeth
pissing on it and melting the plastic

Usually you can open this packages with only your fingers.

Put your hands on either side of the hole where it is hanged in the shop (Not native english speaker, bear with me..), then gently pull your hands out, and voilá - the plastic will rip along the lines and the package will be open (and what is inside will probably fly away haha).

perhaps it's cause I'm more of a tool guy, but I wouldn't see cheap plastic handle scissors like that and assume any other outcome if I tried to cut through a hard plastic bubblepack.

I'd have probably stuck the scissors in through the hole at the top down towards the dongle, twisted sideways to open a gap, and then the dongle would simply drop out of the hole without needing to cut the pack.

I was just having this conversation a couple days ago at work about a woman who recently was fired. She was constantly having "bad luck" where everything would go wrong for her. Computers "not working", getting lost driving places, one thing after another. ...All while everyone else in the exact same situations had no problems. It's not luck when you have control over the situation but make a choice to go down a path which has very little chance of success.

[–]mental_boner 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yep, Luck favors the prepared. He didn't choose the packaging, but he did choose to use cheap scissors. A good scissor would have the metal blade extend as part of the handle and be the majority of the lever arm.

Here's how to open it: 1) Flip the product on its front 2) Open the scissors, and hold one side like a pen 3) Cut along the frame a few inches towards the middle/ 4) Make a complete circle 5) Remove that cut part. Mission Accomplished.

Situations like this have inspired me to always keep a pocket knife, and too keep it sharp.

I was looking at the packaging too hard and was like: "0-o did he cut what's inside the packaging?"

Then I noticed the pair of scissors and was like: "Oh SNAP!"

They need to make everything out of this stuff. Tanks, airplanes, swords, buildings, etc.

I feel certain that you paid all of 50 cents for those scissors.

If you got that at a retail store bring the scisossors and the package in and tell them you want a new pair of scissors. Spread the lulz.

Hate to fuck up your life any more, bro, but you got suckered into false advertising. Bluetooth is on 3.0 these days.

Cut up the sealed sides, not across the middle of the top.

I know that feel; I broke my balisong cutting one of those open.

I have that exact dongle! Except I got it out without cutting anything. I managed to slide it out of the gap in the hanger hole. Like a boss.

Love the pic but the comments all explaining the best way to open the package are more hilarious in there absolute missing the point.

Just bend the plastic back and forth to create a weak spot and then you can tear off the top. Works for me every time.

When I open this type of packaging, I cut just inside the thin border right across the top and pull open. Never an issue.

Last scissors you'll ever but. Quite literally. If they dull or break they'll be replaced for free and if they dull you can have them refurbished for the cost of shipping. They can also cut through pennies.

No bullshit, the same thing happened to me opening the exact same product. Damn package is made of kryptonite. The only other thing I had with me to open it was a pocket knife... I slipped and almost stabbed myself in the balls. True story.

You see that part where it was likely hanging on the shelf/display? Top center? Cut there. Straight down and around the product.

So, I bought a new cd and I was trying to get it open but couldn’t with all the layers. I mean plastic and then tape and the tape is like government tape. It says open here.. Is that sarcasm?, and buy batteries and they are in there with layers and layers of cardboard and then scissors….you need scissors to get into scissors, what if you were buying them for the first time? you wouldn’t be able to get them open. Then you try and buy a light bulb and it’s this thin thin cardboard …..what are they thinking? “Ohh they’ll be fine”. Ellen

Would have been even funnier if you were trying to open a glue packet.
