Wow! Thambee you are so observant to see the difference of the 2 packagings. I only could tell the contents and its quality.
ReplyDeleteNow I can agree after putting some thoughts. I always eat the imported brand of potato chips while watching movies. It is very easy to tear the imported packaging where their foil is thin and smooth without hassle. The local brand potato chips is a disaster cos their packaging is hard, thick and noisy like tearing newspaper. I have long stopped eating that Kotage flies brand.
Deleteyou may be true that i am a very observant person paying attention to minute details, hahaha!! i guess for many others, as long as the food can be taken out to eat, what's the problem?? :D
Deleteoh yeah, the Ray's and Luffle's potato chips you mean?? they are so easy to open.. where as our Kotage Flies, Jacky & Jelly etc can really feed the floor more than our mouth dei, muahahahaha!! but usually i'll just get the local ones to fix my crave, cannot afford the imported ones, they are too expensive dei~~ :p
Yes spot on! That Ray's and Luffle's are my favourites! You know my taste lah! I hate that Jacky and Jelly brand, so much flour added to make the fries and bluek. You just pay few ringgits extra for imported ones but the taste is world's apart and so heavenly nice to make our day!
DeleteOh the cup yoghurt is so diluted that you could drink them a bit and left a bit to scoop lah. Try it!
Of course I do drink their liquid Yoghurt Drinks from tall bottles too. They are so filling and helps to loose weight when you skip meals.Those cup yoghurts have the foils that are so well glued, probably to protected the O2 from fermenting it further.
Ray's and Luffle's realyl too expensive dei, i only buy them when there's promotion and only when they are under RM7 a packet, if normal price it's like RM12 dei, too unaffordable..
Deletehmmm, maybe we buy different brands of yoghurt, because those i have been buying as so thick i can't drink.. thick isn't good thing because thickeners like starch (i could taste that) are used instead.. so now i rather buy yoghurt drink, at least no thickeners, somemore per ml is cheaper and then i can use them to make my overnight oats..
I will go for Doritos or Mission since I like corn chips or tortilla chips.There;s another brand which I forgotten ( i think it's Chachos) and the wrapper was very soft. If you use a little force, all the chips will end up on the dustbins... cos it's all over the floor.
DeleteThese are local brands but high standard quality. I always buy their tortilla chips to dip into my own made salsa sauce!
Deleteoh, i also love Toridos, i think Toridos is from the same company of Ray's and Luffle's.. and of course there is this local brand as mentioned.. and yes, we can easily see the difference when we try to tear them open...
DeleteI also tarak notice leh.monly sk ot to be so observant.
DeleteSk...soooo bad la..kotage ..sounds like ahem ahem la.....
Ahem ahem...make zown yogurt la. Easy leh. Fast also. Just need to leave it overnight then morning can eat jor. No preservative and you can adjust sugar level leh
I hate it whenever I had a hard time opening the packaging of some chilli sauce and so on, created a mess and made my fingers so pain, like it very much if packaging comes with food safe adhesives
ReplyDeleteyeah, same here, it's very frustrating if you cannot open the packaging and with all the hardwork you somehow ruin the wrappers and gotta resort to find upside down for a pair of scissors..
DeleteI have to agree that some of the packaging is so difficult to tear off. I encounter this issue the most when taking 3 In 1 beverages. The slit is there, but the slit is so difficult to "Koyak". I need to use scissor to cut off the top part and pour the 3 In 1 powder out.
ReplyDeleteYes, I never able to open the yogurt nicely. I will tear the seal in many parts like what you showed in the second picture.
Deleteyes!! that's exactly what i am facing too, so troublesome dei.. the manufacturer thought we are always carrying a pair of scissors with us all the time, and also expect us to carry a wet cloth to clean our hands like that.. haiz!!
DeleteThey just want to save cost ... can't help it but then, how much can they save with a better wrapper ? I don;t think these will cost much. It's economy of scales.
DeleteLike that the manufacturers of the 3-in-1 beverages should include a free fancy scissors inside their big bags of coffee or tea. That would be thoughtful of them to make life easier for us without spills.
DeleteThey can print a big logo outside that reads "Spill Free Sachets" inside. Guaranteed no mess and happy day.
come to think of it, all things come in wrappers and when it comes to wrappers, i have to say all the local manufacturer s**k in this.. they sure are expecting us to carry a pair of scissors all the time..
DeleteYay... gimme 5 Yannie. Ya lor me too go find scissor and the cut . Faster and less mess . But in cinema cannot lor. Unless bring small scissors.
DeleteSame proble as you, yannie. I also cannot open the yogurt packaging properly. End up hand all sticky. I really hated that. So whenever j wanna eat yogurt i will tell him eat at home. At least can wash hand leh. I can not stand sticky hands.
I support you with the idea to let those CEOs try to open their yogurt packaging! After 10 years of practice trying to tear open the lid nicely, I still fail miserably! This kind of little things in day to day life is one of the reasons why people who moved to angmoh countries overseas enjoy so much!
ReplyDeletei support you for supporting me, muahahaha!! yes, the yoghurt lid is really miserably sealed.. now i rather go for the yoghurt drinks, at least the cap is easy to twist.. angmoh yoghurt is really a lot more tasty, but let's not talk that far, at least those in Thailand are so much nicer already..
DeleteI doubt the CEOs will ate their own manufacturer yogurts. I am sure they will go for high quality yogurt, maybe hand-made by their maids and with lesser sugar contents and use fresh fruit juices....
Deleteyou are very true!!! because the people who work in there sure knows how the things are produced.. and i have heard too many stories that employees of a particular company do not even touch their own products.. :p
DeleteCEO will not care one la. As long as profit keep coming in they will not wanna rock the boat. Why need to change something that have worked for so long. Here is not like overseas where there is competition. You don't improve, people will not buy your products.
DeleteI totally understand what you are talking about! Finally got someone speak out loud about this because I thought that I was the only fussy auntie hee..hee.. These things ah, nowadays I just take my scissors to cut because so fed up trying to tear the packaging. As for the yogurt, I can never get it opened perfectly even though I try to tear it slowly.
ReplyDeleteAnd how about those sachets of chili/tomato sauce? Suppose to tear at the perforation lines and yet cannot tear. Have to use scissors again.
Deleteand it's like they are expecting us to carry a pair of scissors everywhere, duh!!! spot on those chili or tomato sauce sachets!!! many times i cannot tear them easily, and have to use force, and when i used force, KNNCCB (famous quote from Twilight Man), the sauce spurt out and making such a mess on my shirt!!! now, i don't even want to have chili or tomato sauce anymore, just go original~~
DeleteErrr... don't mentioned about those chilli packets at fast food chains. Some really cannot be tear at the lines and you have to try on the left and right till all the edges have tested.... muahahah...
DeleteIn the end, you might squeeze the sauces onto your shirt !!
that is exactly what i mean!! really have to say KNNCCB (Twilight Man's famous quote).. luckily i don't fancy all those sauce now already, i prefer to eat the food as they are..
DeleteYou know...some yogurt co start making those spoon with the sharp end . They hope that customer will use the sharp end to poke hole and open the yogurt lor. But sometimes its not sharp enough also difficult to poke hole. Then also if too sharp will be dangerous to children coz children also consume that mah, looks like chicken and egg scenerio
DeleteUsually i will use a scissor to cut it if i can't open it, hehe...
ReplyDeletebut we don't carry a pair of scissors all the time with us right?? haha, imagine you are caught by the police on the street~~ :D
Deletehmmm...dilemma... how about a swiss knife? I always carried it around as its very handy! You will need it during an emergency but I'm not talking about self-defense. Probably, when you needed an equipment to open something or to cut something.
DeleteYea, may be a swiss knife, or nail cutter, can do the job too!
Deletehaha, i think if we do not have those knife or cutter or scissors.. our teeth will do the trick!! :p
DeleteShhhh...shhh....last time hor....when i was in school i do bring a scissor toschool. You know lasg time those old type of foldable metal scissors. Ya nw hard to find liao. Will be useful if have that arohnd sobthat can cut when needed. Shhh..... nanti orang say why so old fashion hahaha
DeleteEverytime I eat junk food and tear open the packaging, I did not stop to think of how they seal the packaging so I don't know that some use food safe adhesive and some use heat pressing. Thanks to you, now I know.
ReplyDeleteAbout the yogurt, sometimes I managed to tear off the cover nicely. If it is difficult for me to tear, I won't force it until the yogurt gets on my hands. I will just poke a hole in the cover and tear a small hole in the cover like in your photo. Like that will not get the yogurt on my hands.
errr, that's what i guess about the adhesives and pressing, to be confirmed by experts, haha!! as for the yoghurt, you know there's a little flap for you to tear the seal right?? many times even the flap is stuck and once i try to force it, the whole thing is torn and i do not know how to open the lid.. and yes, poke a hole is the last resort, but poking a hole may also have the risk to splash the yoghurt all around~~ @.@"
DeleteSometimes it's so easy to tear open a packaging but at times, it's such a nuisance. Hence, we need a pair of scissors to do its job.
ReplyDeletehahaha.. Wenn makes it sounds so simple. Yes, just use a pair of scissors to do it, gently cut it and later put the stuffs in a container if cannot finish. But I don't think the yogurt can be done this way....muahahaha...
DeleteMaybe poke a hole in the yogurt and let the content flows out ... :D
Deletebut how many of us are carrying a pair of scissors all the time?? hahaha.. the last resort will be our natural "cutter" - the teeth~~ :p
Deleteaiya ... it's expensive and quality vs cheap and lousy stuffs. The management wanted to cut cost by producing lower quality wrapper compared to those goods with great and friendly wrappers. So, at the end of the day, the more you pay, you will get better stuffs (though not for all the cases)
ReplyDeleteFor example, once I got a nike shirt and I dump it together with other clothing for washing in the washing machine. Due to my carelessness, there was a piece of clothing that easily faded its colour and affect most of the white clothing. However, this white nike shirt was ok. In fact, I kana chilli on it but its washable!
well well well, i think if you do not consider the exchange rate, i would say our own buatan malaysia could be more expensive, and even worse if you consider the quality..
DeleteSome wrappers really has quality (not sure if it's imported). I bought some nuts and the wrapper that came with it can be tear easily with fingers and need not get cut with a scissors. Then, there was a 'auto-locker ' where the wrapper can be sealed easily.
ReplyDeleteCompared to some other old fashion wrappers for nuts (or biscuits) where it is made of plastics and sealed by some hot 'ironing' on it. You have to cut it with scissors and then once you are done, you have to search for a container to store the nuts or search for a rubber band to tighten the wrapper. That's really troublesome !!
Oh ya good point here.
DeleteMost stuff we have to keep in containers or tie with rubber bands, even with these, cannot guarantee that the food will remain fresh, after some times the food will turn 'soft' also, either we consume that quickly, or we get those air-tight containers from Tupperware.
There is something I cannot understand about the imported potato chips. After opening them and unable to finish, I just fold them down with a heavy mug to press it down. After 3 days, it is still crispy like original unlike our local potato chips that turn soft after few hours. Bleh!!
DeleteSo I don't need to look for air tight containers at all.
i think the resealable packaging is kind of a good idea.. but we are talking about those little stuffs that sometimes you do not even have more space for your fingers to even tear from the edge that looks like saw.. it all boils down to the product packaging not ergonomically designed..
DeleteYour first illustration also reminds me when I was a kid (and even now), when I uses a little force to open a wrapper of some junk snacks (after feeling a little frustrated trying to open it), the contents all flow out on the floor and there goes the snacks!
ReplyDeleteI always keep a watchful eyes on my kids when they trying to open a chocolate or sweets for fear that it will drop onto the floor. And, the problem is not the chocolate but the little monsters' cries! My daughter always did that.... and I gotta get her another one to shut her down!! hahaha...
Chris you never grow up! Still spill the food all over after failed attempts! Your kids will laugh hysterically at their papa! Muahahahaha
DeleteI have been extremely careful nowadays after so much spilling and wastage. Can we sue the manufacturers for making us loose few drops of yoghurt or potato chips? Kakakakaka
that is very common leh.. i think our packaging used to be easy to open, and no idea since when after the first manufacturer "invented" the heat pressing and eliminated the glue, every other manufacturer follows and the nightmare of the consumer came.. it's not uncommon that we have the contents inside the packaging spill all over our body, haiz!!!
DeleteOh..I always got my hands dirty with the yogurt every time I tried to open it, no matter how careful I am. You are very right and observant. Yes, please make an appointment with the CEOs and get them to open it...muahahahhaa... It's so troubling opening it no matter which brands you are buying unless you get yourself a yogurt drink!
ReplyDeleteMaybe there's a way to keep our fingers clean where the manufacturers have to do a little research. But then, cost will increase too.
Haha good la if SK can meet with the CEO so that they can improvise the things, since many of us also encounter the same issue.
DeleteGo go SK! :p
When you have scheduled appointment with the CEO, please invite Anay along to kay poh and get free carton samples of yoghurt! I will borrow my Dato Boss punya Alphard or Mercs SUV to chauffeur you there. Make it happen Thambee!! Please don't menajibkan sendiri okay!
Deleteyes.. i have always dream of crashing into probably a press conference and then hand the PIC their own product, and then get everyone to see the awkward moment.. then they will surely consider to improve the packaging.. haha!!
DeleteOoooo, I understand what you are saying.. I will start with the yoghurt first, coz I always have yoghurt in my fridge.. Kz and G eat a tub of yoghurt almost everyday, sometimes on alternate days.. Errr, but to be honest, everytime I tear open the yoghurt wrapper hor, ok wor, can tear nicely wor.. Very "chau sau"..
ReplyDeleteI always open the yoghurt wrapper, then lick the wrapper before throwing into the bin, and then only offer the tub to the boys.. Waste ma if don't lick, kan?
DeleteBut to be honest, me ok wor, I can open it perfectly all the time, never kena my hands, and I can lick the wrapper clean somemore, kekekeke..
But I realize the shape of your yoghurt, memang biasa if you can't tear perfectly.. Mine is square one, I think you know which one, popular among kids one, lots of flavour one.. The square type easier to open.. But the round one like yours, yep, I encountered the same problem before also la..
DeleteAs for chocolates, errr, you can call me cincai or chui pin, but I don't bother about the opening and all.. Normally I just open and eat only.. But like you said, certain chocolates like M&M, easier to open, coz it has the "gerigi" on top, just peel a bit, then dapat already.. But certain chocolate, have to open the whole bar only can take out a piece, dunno you know what I mean or not, so yes, I agree with the big chocolate bar..
DeletePrincess Ribbon, haha same here, I either lick the yogurt seal or korek korek with the spoon given, really don't waste ma.. hehe..
DeleteOh, square yogurt, I know, I think is Calciyum? For kids one.
Those chocolates wrappers which cannot be opened easily one, memang susah, worse is if the chocolate is melted already, sure kena the hands and the inner part of the wrapper too, messy la!
After I korek-korek, I would lick the edges and then add water inside to bancuh to drink!! So kiasu uncle's method of eating yoghurt cups!
Deleteooh, maybe those yoghurt you bought are meant for kids, so they really have to make it easy for them to open.. those i bought, as you can see, really gives me headache lah, many times the seal just torn into pieces and really is so inconvenient.. probably the manufacturer thought, as long as there's a hole to get the contents out, that's it.. we don't have to be perfect.. the Malaysian mentality~~
DeleteGood morning bloggers!
ReplyDeleteHmm, really a petty thing leh! I can't believe you are that detailed and 'perfectionist'! You are not a Librarian right? Hehe, I think you are Geminian, usually Librarian is very perfectionist, like me, everything also must be neat and clean, I mean of couse depends on what also la... Like small things like this, hmm not really will bother me, cause we can always use scissors/knife to cut it open. But if for like chores at home, I will make sure all are well taken care of. Even when I am dressing Aden, I will make sure I put on lotion on his arms and face, like cannot miss a thing la, haha xD
Okok, I think I am a bit out of topic liao :p
So, I know what you mean... I encounter such things always, I did wonder why some wrapper can be easily torn but some are so difficult. But it's just a small matter for me. To save myself times, I usually grab the scissors and cut it open, whenever I eat snacks/chocolates or food that has wrappers like this. I won't bother to try to tear it in the first place.. Unless if there's no scissors around la, like when I am outside... Then no choice but have to tear it like that, if still cannot, use teeth lo, haha, I bet many people do that.
Anyways, I did keep a small scissors in my car, who knows might need it?
Actually those sauces in instant noodles also same, some also cannot tear easily even though there's a small cut there. Worse, those sauces are oily so imagine if you tear it with hands, sure hands got dirty. So for this case, I always use scissors, save time and hands can remain clean.
And then the yogurt case, I totally get it. Most cases I got exactly like what you mentioned, the seal sure koyak into few pieces one. Same goes to mee cup, won't remain in one piece one, like that susah la cause for mee cup we need to pour hot water then cover it for the mee to cooked ma... If the seal is torn into few pieces, cannot cover completely already...
i think as a mommy of two boys, you are used to carry a big bag with you all the time, and in that big bag you have got all kinds of "gadgets" like the Doraemon bag, haha.. so scissors come in handy for you to just cut the wrappers and get the contents out without mess..
Deleteand i agree with you.. yoghurt still okay, but cup noodles, the lid also koyak into few pieces, then how to cover it back to cook the noodles?? haiz~~
LOL, this was like the Expectation Vs Reality thing hehe... not really an observant guy like you and haven't paid attention to the wrappers but this made me eager to find if they apply the same thing with our local products (I bet they do the same thing too)
ReplyDeleteSpot on! SK is hella very observant guy who would gaze at me from head to toe. Sweats!!!
DeleteBefore this post, I never realised the wrapper differences were due to local & imported reasons. Only SK could troubleshoot such things.
probably those in the philippines are using good wrapping, hence you have never faced such a problem.. try buying some Malaysian made products and experience what i am saying, haha!! :D
Deletebut hey, if you are hungry, i guess you wouldn't mind having those mess at all LOL but when I open chocolate bars.. i use my teeth... it works .. sometimes but yeah, there goes the mess hehe
ReplyDeleteI guess you lost track that SK is a clean freak and perfectionists who would not bow to dirty and ill mannered etiquette of eating. You used your teeth!! He would run miles away from you. LOL
Deleteerrr, but i will be such a mess right?? try to imagine your hands dirty and surely it doesn't feel good to eat just the crumbs of the biscuits (because we have to use force to open, and hence crushed the biscuits)..
Deleteoh the yogurt thing.. i can relate with that... no matter how you want to open it perfectly, you'll end up ruining the cover....even though the ads on tv were so perfect and those who promote it can open the cups so easily and so effortless...
ReplyDeleteEveryone had gone through what I went through and everyone will someday master my tactic to open without spills. It requires your patience and some physics to tear open without messing. Let me give you free lessons!
Deletehahaha, those on the ads are surely going to be perfect.. that is why, i so wanted to see how their CEOs actually deal with this tiny little thing... :D
Deleteoh, I think you can also apply it with cup noodles... i always experience the same thing haha.. hey that CEO thing is very smart.. go ahead and let them open the yogurt and see who is really the worthy one ..... i think, at some point , we can see the "equality" between CEOs and Employees LOL
ReplyDeleteCup Noodles are bigger and should be a spill-free process when you tear open the cups. If you still messed it, that means you have clumsy hands! Muahahahaaha
DeleteCup Noodles are so different. We have to open half and pour boiling water inside before covering it back to simmer. Voila!
oh yes, let it be the yoghurt problem.. but for instant cup noodles, we really need to cover it with the lid, if that is torn into pieces, then how are we going to use it to simmer the noodles?? spot on!!!
Delete优酪乳那个举手举脚赞同， 开到不完整会很pek chek的咯~~ =.="
ReplyDelete就是講囉~~
Deletealo...am back...errr....just for a moment la...
ReplyDeleteAiyo the yogurt cover ah...I kena many times...pull pull cannot open one...then open senget
sometimes even the flap for us to pull also koyak before we can actually pull open the rest of the seal.. really KNS..
DeleteFunny lah ini post.
ReplyDeleteBut I don't have problem opening them because I am patient and have all the time to do it slowly and nicely. Hahaha
Mak Glam must show us all on YouTube how you can do this, haha!!
DeleteSK!
ReplyDeleteNo special post for 17.06.2015 kah????
Because it is his birthday, SK needs to have more patient to unwrap all his presents. He is a perfectionist, therefore he will unwrap all his present nicely. He definitely won't tear all the wrappers like what he did on his yogurt or chocolate.
Deletehahaha, no special post for 2015.06.17, isn't this special enough?? hehehe~~ :D
DeleteHaappy Haappy Birthday SK!! Glad I came here in time...or am I late? Here is 15 hours behind time.. :)
ReplyDeleteoooh, thanks for that, thanks for even remembering this when you are still enjoying life in the USA :)
Deletejust got bck here to greet you a happy happy birthday ^_^
ReplyDeletethank you so much milton.. :)
Delete15 minutes before midnight so I am still in time to wish you a very Happy Birthday! As before, I am sure you took annual leave today and enjoy a wonderful breakfast somewhere quaint and after that maybe watch a few movies like Jurassic World, San Andreas or Tomorrowland. Can't wait to read how you spend your special day! Hope you enjoy yourself today and may all your wishes come true.
ReplyDeleteyeah, a wonderful breakfast i had.. but no movies, because i have already watched all Jurassic World, San Andreas or Tomorrowland already before my birthday, hahaha!! :p
Delete哦，原來喺嗰層膠作怪，我終于領悟到點解啦。多謝曬老師
ReplyDelete呵呵!! 唔駛咁客氣~~
DeleteActually you miss one... I watch this in ellen show, she filming that her "open box" video, the thing inside the box is a pair of scissors. Then the scissors is like completely seal, so she has to use the other scissors to cut this new scissors packaging to open it......don't you think that's a little bit of funny??
ReplyDeletehahahaha!! yes yes yes, this is so ironic!! you want to go and find one scissors to go and cut the wrapper of your new scissors so you can take it out!!! classic!!! :D
DeleteGaruing kepala what is it between the two wrappers.
ReplyDeleteIf you tarak highlight i don't think i would noticed leh whether overseas punya not use heat and press and not difficult to open. Usually i use the short cut way... which is use scissors to cut.
Aiyo...when you say mess and crumbs on hands and body ah....phobia man.....
ReplyDeleteWhen primary school time trying to open the snack O-ya and those twisties..memang teruk...have to use teeth to bite. Coz if wanna use the tajam part of the wrapper to open, langsung cannot. It will fly all over the place and end up kena kns upside down by the adults. Really ah no eyes see.
Maybe that is why ah now more and more company is getting on to the user friendly bandwagon. Eh now even have the reseal able packaging leh. After you eat and cannot finish makan jusg need to zip it up again instead of having to hunt all over for rubber band to tied the pack.
Eh ya la...the oher day you say chips if put in fridge will beckme crispy again ah? . Same goes for popcorn or not ah? . My popcorn hari tutakhabis. Duno can still eat or not.
I hate opening yogurt pack. It is difficult and then end up the hogurt lekat atvthe cover there. Botta lick it up and also hand become sticky. If onlybyhere is a short cut or something. Got or not ah
ReplyDelete
