.......trying to open this damn lollipop. Why on earth do they make packaging for children's item that even adults can't get into!!!

It's been a tortuous 20 minutes!!!!!

Oh, koi - I bought these things for my children on the weekend, and it took me longer to open them than the kids to consume them.

Trying to open them it dawned on me why I rarely buy them.

I know what you're saying!!! I've tried scissors, the diamond steel self-sharpening knife and now I'm contamplating asking the workcrew down the road for a loan of their jack-hammer.

I can't give-up. Strawberries and cream are my favourite.

My guess would be so that it's very difficult for children to get away with ripping it off & putting it into their mouth before saying, "Can I have this?"

However, this seems far too ethical for most businesses, so I have my doubts.

Yeah, interesting Dervish. Something like that crossed my mind while opening the packs on the weekend. Then I looked around and thought about the positioning of the lollypops right next to the self-serve check-out. Perfect for the kiddies to slip it in and for a stressed out mother who just wants to finish the shopping to buy them for the kids to shut them up and have a few moments peace. I can count on one hand the amount of times I've bought lollypops for my kids, so it was a real treat for them. Hopefully the packaging put even them off from asking again, though.

Doubtful. Look at the deliberate two-fingered handle flush. That man meant business. The kind of business that doesn't allow nice final words.

It's a hard hearted man that can flush little nemo while being eyeballed by the little darling.

I start at Ms Koi the same way & she is just as relentless.
