Blister packs, WHY!?!?! - Blu-ray Forum

Anybody else here hate these damn contraptions?! I mean, I bought a Singstar game with 2 mics and cut my hand (drew blood!) and broke a perfectly good pair of scissors trying to open the damn thing. They really do live up to thier name! THEY NEED TO STOP PUTTING ITEMS IN BLISTER PACKS!

I call it clamshell and i hate them. Handheld can openers work well from what I hear. Just get it on there and run it around the edges.

I hate them too. I don't think I've ever broke a pair of scissors getting into one though. I use a good pair of EMS shears like these to cut into them.

I hate them myself...usually use a knife and cut the sides..even with that they are a pain to get off.

I always break them one way and one only. Put pressure against each side going the opposite direction and voila it works every time.

Make sure you explain that to the friendly staff in the ER.

I think I used that term a couple times lately, I don't get it.

Didn't even realize I did that.
