Por que no les dos?
I actually just recently, after years of frustration, figured out a technique that works. You squeeze the box near the opening so that it bulges out. Then you can poke it with your finger and rip the top open. Feels like gutting a fish, which I assume now is what they were going for.
I usually just knuckle-punch them in.
I used to just cut the top off of the box using a kitchen knife. I would start just below one of the corners, with the box on it’s side, and I sawed through it.
I got some funny looks for that one when I first did it on autopilot around other people lmao.
You know that the serrated lines on the box aren’t great when cutting the cardboard with a kitchen knife is legitimately easier. The blade wasn’t even serrated.
The post does not say that you will be able to penetrate with the index finger. It just recommends to place the finger that way.
while you kiss your ass goodbye, and the box of noodles and cheesy flavoring defeats you yet again
If you want to be able to penetrate with an index finger, I’m off work in about 2 hours. Wait…what?
I feel the secret might be how the thumb and middle finger squeeze the sides of the box.
I’ll try it out someday, but I probably won’t report back. (Don’t want to get your hopes up).
Look at the girth of that dude’s index finger. No wonder it works for him.
Hahaha
I have pretty strong thumbs and generally just end up tearing off most of the top and being pissed at the stupid design.
I thought that’s how it was supposed to work?
I just rip open the top of the box instead.
That’s right, I’m a rebel.
It’s not that your thumbs aren’t strong enough, it’s that they aren’t sharp enough.
I just started doing one stab with a knife years ago and never looked back.
The one that kills me is when the glue they use to close the box is stronger than the box itself, so you wind up just ripping it open.
The Weaklings must be sacrificed to the pit of fire.
I just boil and eat the entire box like any normal person.
I pay for the box. I eat the box.
If it tastes like it looks on the package, a viable option. Has probably more nutritional value, too.
Most of the nutrients are in the rind, I’m aghast to learn that most people just throw the box away!

When you can’t read the box anymore, obviously…
I wonder what part of the image OP wants us to look at… I guess we’ll never know.
How is this mac? I’ve never had it, but I love (and hate) the Kraft stuff.
Creamier, I think it has more cheese products and even less cheese. I like it though for something quick and easy.
You’re supposed to use your thumb to lift that flap, as instructed, not try to punch a hole in it. Start at the side.
As instructed: ‘insert thumb’.
I don’t think I am the only one thinking inserting on a flat fragile surface means: “punch hole”.
If it had some cavity for your thumb to be inserted in it would make more sense.
“Grip corner and lift”?
Yeah I get it … but yeah they meant like insert in-between the flaps. That said not sure what wording I would use there.
It doesn’t say ‘open with your thumb’. Open it with a knife or some other technique, then insert your thumb & lift.
I ignore these instructions entirely and just open the flappy bits. I am an agent of chaos.
How?!
The glue is usually stronger than the box. I usually just resort to ripping off the top quarter of the box.
