"Along with the holiday shopping season, we've also got the growing fear of people dreading opening those annoyingly difficult plastic "blister packs" that way too many products come in these days. It's tough to find anyone who likes them... other than stores. Retailers claim that it helps cut down on theft, and keeps products fresh and new, but the frustration level of people trying to open the damn things is reaching dangerous levels. Apparently, thousands of people end up at the emergency room each year with "injuries from plastic packaging" according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission."Seconded. I hate with a unbridled passion those annoying blister packs. So consider this you public service announcement pass along.
