Well, you're doing it wrong.

From the perspective of a right-hander: Hold the bag upright with the notch on the left, use your left hand to grasp the upper-left corner, while using your right thumb and index finger to begin tearing downward. As soon as you break into the actual cavity, begin tearing rightward.

Invert appropriately for a left-hander.

Or just do what I do and keep a pocket knife around. Shrug

This post you made is just begging you to read The Design of Everyday Things. :) I'm going through it right now, amazing book. Highly recommended.

So they replaced an easy and obvious way with one that requires careful coordination. And still ruins the bag for reseal. No thanks. Like the other guy said, "design of everyday things".

I really don't understand the objections. It's quite easy and obvious to me, has been since I was a little kid and was first confronted with sealed bags and packets like that, and I have exceedingly poor coordination.
