The perforated edge of a box on items that you are supposed to be able to punch in with your thumb or finger in order to make the product in the box pourable from the box. Here are a couple of examples:
Now, I have tried to do this many times. Whether it foil, mac and cheese, rice products, Cracker Jacks, what have you, this does not work! It just dents the box. You can even get after it with a knife. That just cuts the box. You still can't get the dam thing to actually press in. And Heaven for bid it is a press and pull! That really never works. I always end up having to rip the damn top of the box open.
Why is this on a box? It seems to me that companies could skip this and save a ton of money. I bet the crappy perforating machine costs a shitload! And the design of the font, colors, and the like...that has to cost money! I vote just get rid of it all together. I know that no matter how hard I try, I won't be able to push it in. Therefore, my foil will go flying across the kitchen, unrolling, and getting all messed up. Hmmmm, maybe that's the idea. It makes you waste product!
In this old ass ad, it actually works!
I wonder why I can't make it work. I mean, I am not retarded. I have a masters degree. I think I can work a box. But, alas, I can not. I think it's because they make it damn impossible. Bad perforation, if you ask me!
And that is something I hate!
