    The high class bacon in Aldi. The wee corner for peeling off the wrapper always rips off, leaving the bacon needing a knife to be got at.

    Stupid Aldi milk. The top is so hard to pull off, that plastic seal. Ugh so annoying.

    Aldis cheapo version of Frubes called Tubes, meant to be a line at the corner where you can tear it off, make it easy for kids to do by themselves but I've noticed many in the packs are coming with no place to tear off so you end up using a scissors grrrrrrr

    Anything wrapped in clingfilm. Back in the day clingfilm did its job, wrap and seal. Nowadays it does not seem to seal at all. It is just unsticky roll of use,ess plastic.

    Aye they do. They are a 'no frills' supermarket.

    Aldi is to Ryanair what Tesco is to Aer Lingus

    I'm old enough to remember when they changed the wrapping on easi singles. It made a feature slot on Live at three on RTE with all the complaints from OAPs.

    OP, you just getting old!

    Use sellotape to reseal it again or alternately sew it back together again.

    Sadly this is an actual area of study!!

    Doing my degree I worked on adhesives for aircraft industry, but there was guys studying plastic adhesives for packaging doing hundreds of tests where he peeled plastic in a controlled fashion and drew conclusions from the results.


    I assume he never graduated.

    I can't open the low fat mayonnaise, packaged fruit, semi skimmed milk, reduced salt lasagne or the bag of celery.

    However I have no problem at all with a Sara Lee Cheesecake. Opens like a dream.
