Damn, it’s like they don’t want you to get at the raisins. There must be a better way… You either mutilate the bag and your fingers, or cut it with scissors (or a knife - not recommended lol) , either way can’t be resealed without additional apparatus

    The whole idea behind these bags is that you rip them from the top to one side leaving a big enough opening that you can easily close with a clothes peg, the top of the bag even has indentations to make it easy to open

    Raisin companies…WHY?

    This would suffice. Why change the most delicious fruit into something ugh…?

        There’s a range of ideal moisture content. Same with weed.

        The humidity level (ideally relative humidity of 50%) is important and the raisins should be sealed well between uses. If the humidity increases too much, raisins will start to “sugar”; that is, sugar crystals will develop on the exterior surface (similar to the sugar bloom on chocolate candies). This does not mean that the fruit is unusable.

    Now let’s talk about stickers on produce that leave adhesive behind. Yet another user experience principle thrown to the wayside by middle management who don’t understand the problem the old stickers solved.

      People are asshats. That’s why

      It’s all about cost reduction and fraud prevention. Those cheap stickers are simply tamper-proof, getting easily destroyed upon removal. Prevents being resticked onto other items. A simple example would be thiefes who remove discount labels or price tags from cheap items and put those onto expensive items, ready to argue that the item must’ve been mislabled by the store and then insist on the low price. Doesn’t work with a tampered sticker.

      Also, there actually are easy-to-remove labels being used - just not for pricing out stuff.

        Well also if something is supposed to be tamper evident they have a (usually legal) incentive to make sure it stays on a all times. They don’t do the testing to find the best sticker adhesive or what is easiest for the consumer because at the end of the day they need it to do one job. You could easily find the best adhesive for the material you are using that stays on very well and can be removed without leaving residue or damage behind. You may have to pay 2 times as much for a better sticker anyway. Not worth the time

    You ain’t got scissors or a knife? Or some tape or a twisty thing left over from a bag of bread?

    Idk I do not trust any nowadays, bugs can get inside even the thick ones by making holes, like the pantry moths and start infesting…

    Everything goes to thick solid plastic or glass containers as long as I have available. An infestation it still possible but much more difficult plus they get stuck on the recipient they infested and not infesting everything by the time you notice.

    Stab into center then cut out along direction of blade it’s not too tricky once you’ve got the hang of it, just use a sharp knife. The sharper the less likely you are to cut yourself. Which reminds me I’m due for my quarterly visit to my friendly local blacksmith for a sharpening (dude teaches at one of the local schools and does knives as a hobby and to make extra money)
