Illiad on modern packaging

[unixronin]

This has long been a pet peeve of mine:  Packaging, on even the most trivial items, that you cannot open (a) without tools and (b) without almost totally destroying it.  It goes right along with products packed in a bag, inside molded styrofoam packing, inside a box, inside an ultrasonically-welded plastic blister pack, inside a box, inside shrink-wrap.

Yep. sammy_grrrl got a My Little Pony. It was encased in plastic with a cardboard backing. Then, the hair was held to the packaging with two strips of plastic on either side of the hair, *woven* together, encased in tape. There were three of these. Two on the mane and one on the tail. What the hell?
