Do I have incredibly weak thumbs, or does this instruction exist on boxes just to mess with us?

Curious_Canid , 10 months ago

You’re not extending your chi through your finger when you push. The instructions take that for granted, but they really should be more specific.

I tried extending my chi, but it just made my jar of salsa fall on the floor and shatter.

I think you’re confusing your chi with your penis.

Chriszz , 10 months ago

You didn’t expand your ki so you didn’t notice the chili fall. Idiot.

I have pretty strong thumbs and generally just end up tearing off most of the top and being pissed at the stupid design.

I thought that’s how it was supposed to work?

The post does not say that you will be able to penetrate with the index finger. It just recommends to place the finger that way.

while you kiss your ass goodbye, and the box of noodles and cheesy flavoring defeats you yet again

I feel the secret might be how the thumb and middle finger squeeze the sides of the box.

I’ll try it out someday, but I probably won’t report back. (Don’t want to get your hopes up).

If you want to be able to penetrate with an index finger, I’m off work in about 2 hours. Wait…what?

See… what you’re supposed to do… is… hold it between you’re two hands. Kinda lie you’re praying. jab your two thumbs into the tab, then pull outward and just rip the box in half. Alternatively, if you’re the Hulk or something, you can just grab either end and rip it in half that way.

I always go thumb from the top, so pretty much same position as photo 2. Still not happening.

Look at the girth of that dude’s index finger. No wonder it works for him.

Hahaha

I used to just cut the top off of the box using a kitchen knife. I would start just below one of the corners, with the box on it’s side, and I sawed through it.

I got some funny looks for that one when I first did it on autopilot around other people lmao.

You know that the serrated lines on the box aren’t great when cutting the cardboard with a kitchen knife is legitimately easier. The blade wasn’t even serrated.

I got a different brand of Mac and cheese once and it opened right up using the same instructions.

I feel like the name brand is just messing with people.

Do you bite or trim your nails pretty far down?

dm_me_your_boobs , 10 months ago

Is the latter weird? Cause I don’t care for those white bits at the end.

Yeah they taste funny

AcornCarnage OP , 10 months ago

This is honestly my favorite comment in the thread. I keep laughing about it.

What sort of lift are you inserting?

JustAManOnAToilet , 10 months ago

The ones Bernie put in his shoes before being seen in public. They clearly don’t help anyone.

It’s not just you.

AcornCarnage OP , 10 months ago

I swear to God, in all my life I feel like it’s only worked fewer than 5 times.

Terevos , 10 months ago

I think I’ve only got it twice. Maybe I should try harder
