    The glue around the rim of the cup is too sticky, so it left behind a layer of cottony paper when the label was ripped off

      Also, this usually only happens when people are in a hurry and pull from the top instead of the bottom where it’s curled around.

      Never mind, my fat ass thought it was a weird angle on a can of Pringles or something food related.

        You can just see the two shredded sections on the edge where I was deliberately and carefully trying to include all layers and they just tore off instead. I don’t know if this is a technique thing, but if it is, I would love to know what I am doing wrong, because it happens to me all the damn time.

          It’s not you, it’s the design. The only means of getting a clean top that I’ve found is to split the seal at the middle with a knife and rip outward.

          Before dinner I thought it was food, boy do I feel silly.

            Lol, no worries. Food ones always seem to work better too, but as soon as it’s medications or supplements, they use the shitty ones or the over-secure ones. We should get the peanut butter and Pringle’s manufacturers in the room with the pharmaceutical industry and make them talk.

              the worst are the pills in blister packages where the foil is stronger than the pill itself, so you just end up crushing the pill inside. like I get blister packages are supposed to make it harder to get a ton of pills out at once, but if it forces me to grab scissors anyways that kinda defeats the purpose

                Huh, I’ve never experienced that. And I take a lot of pills. They might have really bad binders or compression at the factory where they’re making yours? But that does sound very irritating, I’m annoyed enough when I cut pills in half and it breaks into not-halves.

                I have, however, cut myself on the foil a few times. And that stuff is sharp. Not sharp enough to get through the shitty seal in my first pic, but enough to really slice fingers if you’re not looking.

                  the pills feel about as solid as any others, it’s just the foil backing on the blister pack they’re meant to pierce through is damn near bulletproof.

                  oof, I forgot about cutting pills. those cheap pill cutters are absolutely useless. one trick I found for the pills too small to break by hand is to press them over a small wire, something like a small paperclip straightened out. then set the notch of the pill on there and press down on either side with each thumb. finnicky getting them lined up right, but far cleaner breaks than anything else I’ve ever found. worked better to do them in batches for future use than every time I needed one
