Awesome Life Hack #2 – Opening Blister Packs

June 2, 2014

Can opener used to open blister packs safely, with text highlighting the hack to avoid cuts.

If this works… My inner child will be so pleased to know there is an easier way to open a blister pack.

I never knew that this kind of packaging was known as ‘blister’ packaging. I always used to refer to them as “The Evil Packaging That Is Almost Impossible To Open!”.

I remember, as a young kid, getting a brand new toy or action figure; and having to struggle with trying to get the darn package open. I’d usually get about halfway through with a pair of scissors, get a massive hand cramp, and then just start ripping and tearing the plastic as hard as I could to finish the job and retrieve my prize.

So whoever came up with this idea… my younger self thanks you.
