Who can't for the life of me, push my thumb through that little half circle on the Kraft Mac & Cheese box? The one that says "Push Here To Open"?

I am like the little engine that could though... I try, try every time, and each time I get just as frustrated as the last time!
I have even used a knife to kind of cut the circle, JUST so that I could know exactly what it feels like to simply "Push Here and pull back to open"...So much easier than fighting with the top of the box.

*sigh* oh well.... Off of my soap box now.
I was just curious as to if anyone else has this problem?

I can't do it either! I can't do it on any box actually. I just end up ripping it open or using a knife!

I think the majority of people who make mac and cheese are bachelors. Maybe they are stronger. LOL. Just kidding. I can't get it either, and don't even try anymore. I always use a knife.

Haha Good to know that I'm not the only one.
Would it really kill these companies to just put a few more perforated holes, so that it would make it easier? Good golly!!! LOL

I can't do it either. I also cannot peel the paper off of those refrigerated tubes of biscuits or rolls.... I hate when it pops open on me before I get it done! I make DH do it! haha. I'm serious though, I freak myself out about it, just like when I go to get a shot!

I believe my mom used to be scared of those tubes too. I was slightly, when I was younger. I think she would have me open them. LOL.
