First off, please never ever ever ever go out of business. Your milk chocolate bars are how I get through my days. Yes, indeed, while successfully making it through 4 years of college without an addiction to cigarettes, alcohol, or various illegal substances, I have not been able to make it through 23 years of life without a ridiculous addiction to chocolate.That being said, let's talk about package design. Now, generally this is not a problem for me because when out shopping I somehow forget to by chocolate bars until I'm in the checkout line at which point I'm willing to pay about twice what I would have had I remembered to pick up a pack of 6 back in aisle 9. The individually wrapped chocolate bars are packaged very well and I can successfully open them without any problems. It's this 6-pack deal that I have problems with.
You can't open the 6-pack outer wrapper without scissors or another sharp object. Believe me, I tried. No amount of ripping or tearing will do and there's no special spot or indicator that if I tear at a certain location or angle my life will be much easier. This poses a problem because I'm not exactly a scissors person and most of the people who truly care for me in life have forbid me from ever using sharp objects. It's for my own good.
Anyhoot, so I somehow got through the 6-pack wrapper of death, only to find my next obstacle in trying to open the wrapper around the actual candy bar. Oh yes, you wrap them differently than you wrap your other individually wrapped candy bars. Why? I don't know. But this wrapping is significantly sub-standard to your individually wrapped and sold candy bars. I tried to open the wrapper, only to find out a bit to late that I was opening from the wrong end, and when I tried to open from the right end, the wrapper split in half sending half my delicious chocolate bar flying. Fortunately it landed in my lap, so I didn't have to employ the 5-second rule, but nonetheless, chocolate shouldn't fly. Please fix your packaging.
Thank you,
Emily
