I don't like CD's. Even know I've got long nails, it STILL takes me about 15 minutes to open one CD

They have a wire on each leg, each arm, neck, about two on the body... then comes the carboard that wraps around it... PLUS and extra plastic bag or something with another board around that and another around that. :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

I hate that thick clear plastic that some tools and cutlery are wrapped in. If their idea is to make it nearly impossible to get open, they succeeded.

I think of all the waste we have. There must be a better way to open items.
