I guess it all started back in the eighties when someone spiked Tylenol to kill his wife. What I am talking about is those annoying safety seals. They started just on medicine which I can understand but soon expanded until everything has one. I opened a bottle of bleach and it had one. Why? Is someone going to open up a new bottle of bleach and see a seal and think, oh good this is safe for me to drink! The ones that really drive me crazy are the ones on the jar of peanut butter or Mayo. You try and pull the tab, but it only pulls off the tab. So I try the other side only to get another small chunk leaving the rest to be torn off in little bits. Then for the rest of the time that jar has anything in it the last piece, which I could not remove, becomes a catch for half of what was on my knife and all the drying out parts of the jar. I am sure the monkeys that they tested this with could get the whole thing off in one piece, but I cannot. The Tylenol thing turn out to be a hokes yet its lasting legacy is a poorly constructed seal which makes us all regret having opposable thumbs, or at least the big fat ones I have.
