06 Jun 04 - 05:35 PM (#1201475) Subject: RE: BS: Foreign Boxes From: SINSULL Hi jOhn. You spelled "foreign" correctly but "shop" wrong. Monkey piss? Not likely from Denmark. Maybe they cut it with loganberries. I too am waxed carton challenged and usually take a pair of scissors to the OJ carton before I get drowned. Now, mustard and ketchup packets...when Burger King first started serving salads, I ordered one. With it came a sealed packet of Italian Dressing. I ripped and tore and got nowhere. Picture this - I am dressed in a business suit, heels, briefcase, very smart looking. I get the bright idea to squeeze the packet and force out some dressing. The little boy sitting across from me with his mother started laughing hysterically while she tried to shut him up. The dressing shot out in a fountain and landed on my head, dripped down onto my jacket, and even managed to make it to the salad. The best part? I still had two more appointments to keep that day. Remind me to tell you about the time I used a pay phone in a snowstorm and was nearly electrocuted. |

08 Jun 04 - 08:02 PM (#1203086) Subject: RE: BS: Foreign Boxes From: Shanghaiceltic I am pretty sure that in the various packaging companies design departments there is a section which takes the design a bit further and adds the 'oh bugger' factor. Just as you gently start to peal back the flaps or top it suddenly rips, causing you to jerk the carton and end up with the contents down your clothes. |

But as it is, I suggest you see if that modern invention known as "scissors" has arrived somewhere in Hull. A |

09 Jun 04 - 05:58 AM (#1203371) Subject: RE: BS: Foreign Boxes From: jacqui.c I'll go with Sinsull - the scissors come out every time with those cartons and I always cut both sides of the flap to allow for air flow when pouring - it does work. I think I agree with Brucie on jOhn and a pair of scissors......... you're best off sticking to the Guinness jOhn - much less hazardous. |

09 Jun 04 - 06:58 AM (#1203399) Subject: RE: BS: Foreign Boxes From: el ted They are still a hazard even after you have opened them, if you put them in the fridge door pockets, they slosh all over the place every time you shut the bloody fridge door. |

09 Jun 04 - 09:01 PM (#1204034) Subject: RE: BS: Foreign Boxes From: SueB If you don't like the boxes, jOhn, then definitely stay away from the juice "pouches." The instructions should read, "insert straw, enjoy shower." |
