I think we can all agree that someone overshot that target by a long range. Every single time I ask myself, "now how can I open this without damaging neither the package's content nor myself in the process?"

Sharp scissors and a lot of patience. Never try to open one without them.

Of course, your scissors don't stay sharp for long because the plastic is hard enough to blunt them pretty quickly :/

Use a can opener around the sides of it. For most clam shells, the top will then just lift right off.
