Plastic packaging
I picked up a SanDisk SD card for my camera, and it was packed in that hard plastic packaging you see on electronics and other products — many items at Costco use it. It’s hard to cut, it’s hard to tear. It’s basically completely anti-consumer(anti-user). It turns out, it’s so hard to cut that the handle on my scissors actually broke under the pressure that was required to cut through it. SanDisk: You owe me a pair of Fiskars, dammit.
