Covent Garden soup cartons

[Legend83]

fk sake.

Piece of st things.

When will they learn they don't work? Just gone to enjoy a nice helping of 'Chicken Mulligatawny' and ended up stabbing the fking thing with a knife.

GRRR.

On a par with juice carton tabs.

Rant over.

I had Minestrone for lunch. I think the Leek and Potato is my favourite.

And you're an idiot if you can't get them open.

And I'm not going to tell you the secret.

They are like an IQ test. If you fail, you really shouldn't be using any form of gas hob to warm them up.

The M&S ones are worse, every time I pop the plastic lid off I get covered in soup. As does the wall, microwave, work surface etc etc

I don't like these, I think they're pure marketing BS. The soup inside is little better than you get from a tin.

Never had trouble opening them though, you must be a spazzer.

[Pothole]

Scissors?

Come on then, tell me the secret. I just follow the instructions, every time.

And I always end up with ripped cardboard and no fricking hole for my soup to pour out of.

Any you are right, they are not brilliant. Soup of the month is usually worth a punt.

Just put them in the microwave while still closed - they have a self-opening mechanism when they are ready

Brilliant. Proof indeed that wherever you look, you'll always find someone less fortunate than yourself.

I bet you lick windows too.

pull glued parts apart then pinch opposing sides with thumb and finger and push together

opens enough to get fingers in and prise apart, they make them like that so that they're childproof

Listen to this man.

He's opened a few sloppy boxes in his time.

the important bit is getting a good solid grip on the flaps

Proper tears down face.

No coffee on keyboard though.

I am now.

My special need today was to be able to get into my lunch without throwing it at the cat in frustration.
