Bad Packaging >_<

Pepperidge Farm Cookie Assortments

At first glance the packaging is lovely enough. Unfortunately, form should definitely follow function. Most of my peeve concerns the functional value of a package. The assorted cookie set comes wrapped in a clear plastic and placed in the box. Unfortunately, once you open the plastic wrapper, there's no saving it. Despite popular belief, I CANNOT finish the whole box in one sitting. -_- Which begs to question, where the hell am I suppose to keep the rest of the damn cookies? I shove them back into the box, and carefully lay it down so the crumbs don't fall out. But it also doesn't stop the yummies from growing stale. Bad idea Pepperidge Farm. What were you thinking?

Ramune

Ramune is a type of soda that is fairly popular in both Japan and those who are fans of Japanese culture. It's pretty much a fruity soda. Real delish and comes in many different fruity flavors. The bottle is very unique as no one has ever done something like this before. What keeps the bottle sealed is actually a glass marble wedged into the opening. It comes complete with a green plastic opener which is nothing more than a round disk with a mini cylindrical bottom. You take that opener and SMACK it hard into the top of the bottle to pop the marble in. The bottle design is shaped so that it concaves in and catches the marble right in the middle. It cannot fall deeper in, and it cannot fall out. It just jiggles and tinkles around in there as you drink. The fun factor allows this drink to remain ever popular, despite the fact that this product is hella hard to open at times. That and this design provides you with significantly less of the drink than any other normal beverage. I NEED a flat surface in order to open a bottle, since I need to smack it with much force and gusto. Once, I tried to open it and I was smacking the marble in with the green opener. The green opener was stuck in the top of the drink and the marble was half way through. I let go and was trying to get a better angle when the marble popped back up, sends the opener flying out of the bottle, it bounces off the cabinet and hits me square in the forehead as my roommate dies in a fit of laughter. -___-

What keeps this product alive, however, is the fun factor. And it is, very very fun.

JoAnn Craft Essentials Color Spray Paint

This is definitely cream of the crop, worst of the worst. So bad that I don't even have the cap anymore to show you the horror of this product. SO! It is spray paint like any other, and it has an extra security measure on the cap to ensure children are unable to access it. There is a hole in the cap where you stick in a screwdriver and you have to pry the cap loose. That alone was a feat I was unable to undermine. If my roommate was not there, I would never have been able to open it. -_- That aside, I recapped the spray paint. BAD IDEA CHRISTINE! Next day, I was trying to open it, didn't wooork. So try HARDER. I shove my screwdriver in. Could not pry it loose. Gave it to my roommate. Could not pry it loose. Gave it to another roommate, could not pry it loose. My $8 aside, I really really NEEDED to use it. So I had to pry the hole, broke it. Pried all throughout the sides of the cap and stretched it as far as it would go, STILL COULD NOT OPEN IT. It took maybe 20 minutes of prying and cussing before I was able to break open the cap and get it out. As soon as it was open I threw that goddamn cap away, and I never ever wanted to see it again. What is the point of that security measure if you CAN'T RECAP IT EVER AGAIN?! What a load of bull. -_- And so there you have it. Worst EVER. The End.
