PintLies: use a can opener to open a clamshell package.
Hi, welcome to a new section I call, PintLies, or the lies Pinterest tells us...
Lie #1:
Use a can opener to open a clamshell package or How to ruin a can opener by using it in a way that doesn't even work. Now in just one easy step!
I bet you've seen this "life hack" thousand times... but has anyone ever gotten this to work? Because it DID NOT work for me. It just made a frustrating clamshell package that much more frustrating.



Just grab a tin snips, those are designed for cutting thin metal and will work on rigid plastic as well. The compound hinge gives extra leverage and the blades are not too sharp.

Or you can always use the knife, Box Cutter or Scissors Method, but try not to stab yourself, of course.


You're welcome.
