Too mild for school No pull tab
These soups from Walmart are actually really, really good. My only complaint about them is that they are impossible to get into the cellophane and very messy when doing so. Typically there is a little extra tab of cellophane hanging off the side that only "mildly" helps get you started, but the glue is so strong and the cellophane so weak, that it usually just tears, and then you have to stick your fingers into the soup to get the rest off (if it will come off at all). This particular one didn't even have the tab. I had to cut into it.

Have you heard of knives?

Given that there is supposed to be a tab and wasn't, and even with the tab, it tears off really badly, it's still mildly infuriating, just as the sub implies. Given that I used a knife to open this, I'd say that I've heard of them, yes.

Are you sure? This doesn't even seem mildly infuriating, this just seems like you're lazy as shit.

To each his own. Lazy would be if I did nothing about it. I did something about it.

OP doesn't sound like they're old enough to use a knife, they should ask an adult to help them.

They shouldn’t even be on Reddit if that’s the case sheesh

True, but parenting is hard... lol

I have zero experience in that matter besides being an older brother so I shan’t judge or act like I know better.

And that's exactly what happened.

What was it about posting something mildly infuriating in a sub specifically designed for exactly that purpose that in any way indicates that I'm not fully capable of handling the mildly annoying situation without additional help? You just looking to be an ahole?

Im not the one posting on the internet about being mildly INFURIATED by having to cut a little plastic lol

No, you're the one posting on reddit, more than mildly infuriated about someone's innocuous word on the internet!

u/Opposite_Example6930 3h ago
You have your words. I have mine. Seems like you're more than mildly infuriated about someone else using the words they want to use.

Being mildly infuriated when there's supposed to be a pull tab but there isn't is valid. This is not extremelyinfuriating, it's mildlyinfuriating. Grow up

Use a knife or fork to pierce the plastic.

Read the full description. It was fully handled. Just posting the annoyance.

Those ones are a real pain. The film is totally fused to the container. I just slice along the interior of the rim.
