    The glue around the rim of the cup is too sticky, so it left behind a layer of cottony paper when the label was ripped off

      Also, this usually only happens when people are in a hurry and pull from the top instead of the bottom where it’s curled around.

      Never mind, my fat ass thought it was a weird angle on a can of Pringles or something food related.

        You can just see the two shredded sections on the edge where I was deliberately and carefully trying to include all layers and they just tore off instead. I don’t know if this is a technique thing, but if it is, I would love to know what I am doing wrong, because it happens to me all the damn time.

          It’s not you, it’s the design. The only means of getting a clean top that I’ve found is to split the seal at the middle with a knife and rip outward.

            Lol, no worries. Food ones always seem to work better too, but as soon as it’s medications or supplements, they use the shitty ones or the over-secure ones. We should get the peanut butter and Pringle’s manufacturers in the room with the pharmaceutical industry and make them talk.

              the worst are the pills in blister packages where the foil is stronger than the pill itself, so you just end up crushing the pill inside. like I get blister packages are supposed to make it harder to get a ton of pills out at once, but if it forces me to grab scissors anyways that kinda defeats the purpose
