I got one of those milk cartons with the ring-pull lids open. This is the first time EVER!

what do you usually do, chew through the side of the carton?

Heheh. Normally I have to gouge around in the top of the carton with a knife, or the non-business end of a teaspoon until I gain some small opening. I then have to pick all the rest of the plastic off by hand. It's truly a pathetic sight.

*grin* - I should have mentioned that I always manage to snap the ringpull off. I'm not making this any better, am I?

It's OK for you - you have special mom skills. You can open any food carton with one hand and a blindfold on. I'm just an unchilded klutz ;)

I've got Mad Mom Skilz.

sorry, had a Napoleon Dynamite moment there.

I get those open every time - but the Iaido practice helps!

Don't fool with the cap, just go straight at it with the biggest and sharpest thing you have. I wonder why the Japanese don't drink milk though - you'd think they'd be well supplied for milk-opening ninjas.

I used to think the old sort of milk carton was a rubbish design until we got these. I wonder what they'll spring on us next? Locked steel bottles?

I found a little flexing around the spout helps. I used to have a big Japanese steel carving knife and would just hack the top off. That worked OK 8D

Today milk cartons, tomorrow the world! ;)

Heheh - I've obviously found my inner tiger. Or something. Probably just my inner yak, to be honest.

I think that it's all a ploy to get us to buy our milk from the milkman... There is nothing quite like opening the foil on a bottle of fresh milk on a morning!

Carry on.
