Brand New CD  |
| |
|  So you get home from the store with a brand new CD, or the CD you ordered finally arrives in the mail. That would make you happy.
Then comes the BIG dissappointment. The plastic wrap on the CD refuses to come off! You don't really want to take a razor blade to cut it because it would probably ruin the jewel case, the case that the CD comes in. Finally, when you finally get a rip in that plastic wrap, & carefully start making headway, the piece you are holding onto just tears away. Finally, you're struggling, carefully clawing at the plastic wrap & have it come off in pieces. Then just when you get half of it off, you start trying to pull out the CD & casing from the rest of the stubborn wrapper. After more struggling, you finally get the wrapper off.
Just when you think you're done, you find another obstacle, that being that sticky scotch-tape-like thingie on the top of the jewel case that won't let you open it. You find that tab that says "PULL" stuck to the case also. Then you struggle to get that off, one sliver or small piece at a time.
By the time it's all done, you may find yourself too pooped out to listen to the CD that you were looking forwards to listening to. That seems to be an advantage of brand new.

| |  I have found this with most packaging these days, I often wonder how little old ladies who live on their own get along in opening some things these days.

| |  We just struggle harder or get smart and ask a younger person like a grandchild to do it for us. Anyway I do.

| |  I think I am one of those little old ladies. But this little old lady has a really sharp pocket knife. I use it a lot to open things. I love my pocket knife. It is so handy.

| |  I know just what you mean. I really hate buying a lot of these new things for this reason. Usually when I buy things like this I take them home and hand them to one of my kids. They can get them out of the package. I'll take them once they are out!

| |  I cut the shrinkwrap off using a pen, down the slit on the front (next to the spine) where the case opens, that usually works ok. Fortunatly UK cds don't have that extra strip of tape, it's only occasionally on imported albums, that is fiddley and annoying.
Another thing that's annoying, trying to peel off cds that are stuck to the front of magazines with strong glue, without ripping the magazine or leaving the glue on it.
The best way is to try and cut the cd out of the shrink wrap with out damaging the case, then gently pull the plastic off the magazine, so hopefully the glue omes off with it, but this doesn't always work.

| |  Sorry, I gotta forgo the stress of all that and use a tiny box cutter to cut the cellophane and tape carefully along the side of the case between the cracks.

| | I guess I am lucky I have never had that problem first to get the plastic wrap off easy you take a tooth pick and get under theedge on the end and poke the hole there that allows it to come off easy and as for the sticky tape once you found the tab pull up one side then pull the other side off in less the 60 seconds I am listening to my new cd sorry that you had a hard one its like a puzzle you just have to put the pieces together right. | | | | | | |
