We've all had that problem. You buy a toy and can't get it open to save your life. You eventually break out a box cutter, wire cutters, and the good scissors. All of that and you still just barely get it out of the package without destroying the toy.
Well, today, Amazon.com announced their "Frustration Free Packaging" Initiative. They are working with several manufacturers to begin using smaller, easier to open, recyclable packaging. Here is a list of the items already under this campaign. Let's see who else joins in on this movement.
One reason I keep several tools in the console in my truck is to open toys I buy my kids so they can play with them on the drive home. One of my favorite parts of getting a new GI Joe or Star Wars action figure was opening them up in the car and looking for the gun I dropped the whole way home. Of course, those were in the days before Florida required kids to wear seat belts and sit in child safety seats until they are old enough to drive.
In short, I think this is a good move. If it works out, there will be thousands jobless in China. How else can they get all of those twist ties on toys.
