5. The tin foil
We like to think we are smart, developed creatures, until it comes to aluminium foil. There’s often a lot of unnecessary frustration surrounding this tin foil, as we can’t seem to be able to cut it properly and smoothly. You’d probably by lying if you said it never happened to you.
This is because we keep forgetting the makers of this tin foil have thought about it all, and they’ve made the package in such a way that would make our lives easier: we always seem to forget that these boxes are shaped in such a way that would keep the roll inside, allowing us to cut it easily – all we need to do is press those tabs at the sides of the boxes, the ones that are there to keep the roll in place.
