‘Peel here’ is the biggest scam in the food products industry. Why do they troll us so.

Last night I couldn't do it. I just couldn't! I found myself with all the cardboard peeled off and meat still completely encased in plastic.

If even the Peeler cannot do it, no one can.

Yes. I totally agree. I stab it then wrap it in glad wrap. Defeats the purpose but fuck it I'm old I ain't got time to fight with packaging. Give me my food now.

Keep a cheap stanley knife lookalike in the kitchen drawer or utensil bucket/stand - cut the corner and then peel. I got mine from officeworks for about a dollar I think but that was a while ago. Damn useful little item. I cbf with those absurd little corner tabs etc.

Frankfurt packs and everything else.

I keep scissors near the kitchen just for that reason if a knife can’t do it.
