I'm also in a dry climate, and even as a teenager I often had to lick my fingers in order to get the plastic bags at the grocery store open (I was a bagger so had to do it all day). Eventually we got smart and started putting wet sponges by the bags, which is also an amazing life hack if you have trouble turning pages.

This thread is so long. It started with tactile buttons being back yet it's mainly about opening plastic bags. I like that. I think that's funny.

Wet sponges were a common site in offices back before widespread computing and lots of cash.
