Mom reveals simple hack to open tricky plastic packaging: I was shocked

There is no greater irony in life than buying a pair of scissors only to realize you need a second pair of scissors to get them out of the box.Thankfully, a Brisbane mom has found a solution that is so simple, it’s almost frustrating we didn’t think of it sooner.Her hack has now gone viral, leaving the mother amazed at how helpful her tip has been for others.“I was literally shocked when I found it out myself, so I had to share it.I didn’t think it’d be as well received as it was,” she told news.com.auTaking to Instagram, Amy Freeman revealed the genius way to open the thick, jagged edges of a heat-sealed plastic blister pack.“Am I the only one who didn’t know how to open this type of packaging?” the mom of four asked in the post.Just like most of us, the 40-year-old has previously turned to scissors to cut around the edges to free an item from the plastic.We all know that to tear at the plastic hurts your hands and, of course, leaves you with jagged edges.Turns out we’ve all been working harder, not smarter.“You don’t need scissors to open these,” Freeman continues.She explains she was “shocked” when she saw someone else open a plastic blister pack in a way she’d never even considered.“All you gotta do, guys, is squeeze it,” she revealed.Freeman proceeds to hold a package with scissors inside up to the camera, before squeezing it firmly between her hands.In an instant, the packaging changes; the bottom forms a gap and the plastic bows outward, allowing her to effortlessly tear the package in half and pull the scissors out in one clean motion.“It’s that simple.

So much stuff comes in this type of packaging,” she shared.Her hack blew minds, made evident by her comment section.Morning Report delivers the latest news, videos, photos and more.
