Blas and the candycane

[blas]

Last night, to my sheer delight, there were tooty fruity candy canes at work. I can't stand regular mint candy canes. I like the blue and green and yellow striped ones.

I can't open a candy cane to save my life. So there it was, almost 7:00. I just want to open my damn candy cane. It was a bad night, my one trainee had driven me to insanity ONCE AGAIN, and I just wanted to have my candy cane....

I struggled and struggled, and eventually outbursted "Someone come open this for me!" and a coworker stopped by, gingerly peeled, and it opened.

I won't be living that one down anytime soon.

My bf had to show his parents how to unwrap pre-sliced cheese. His mom had been cutting them open.

Cutting open cheese

That is pretty sad.

I.P Freleigh's Foolproof Method Of Freeing Candy Caney Goodness From Its Cellophane Prison:

1. Break candy cane in half.
2. Start unwrapping at the break in the cane.

I can't have a candy cane without it breaking anyway.

That's my method. Works like a charm.

Oh, and if you don't like to break your canes... nails. Only way to peel the plastic.

I dunno if it's just me, but I noticed this x-mas that the cellophane on candy canes got a lot looser, and less clingy. Kinda makes me sad because I want my kids to have the same pain in the ass time that I did opening them. I normally just chewed on the end till the plastic split and peeled from there.

My Mom's ingenious way of unwrapping anything in a cellophane wrapper?

Letter opener.

Poke it at a loose point and slide it up the side. She does the same thing with cereal bags. Strangely enough, she never uses a letter opener to open letters.
