Men Are From Mars; Women Are From Who Cares?

14 Aug

Picture the scene: a new box of cereal, too tall for the cereal shelf.

Solution: reduce the size of the box.

Here is the Hub’s handiwork:

           Crunchy Neat

Here is mine:

            Rice Tearmies

Where do you stand on the Seriously?  It’s just cereal! debate?

    Open box, pour contents into plastic container, dispose of box and liner in trash or recycling — no debate required! 😉

    I’d be in Hub’s camp. Mr Indecisive would be in yours. 😊

    Hi Tilly-
    This regularly happens to us but neither or your solutions are used. I squeeze the pack in the middle and fold the excess over and ram it into the team cupboard.

    take the liner out of the cardboard box, discard the box. keep the liner closed by folding over the top and using a paper clip at each end. Works a treat.

    Make sure liner stays intact. It can be crinkle-closed after each use. Store the box on its side.

    Why not just put it on the side? 🙂

      Also, maybe you could actually move up the shelf.

    Ditch the box and clip the bag shut is what I do.

    Yours is too modern-arty. His could do with some creative snipping of a pattern round the edges.

    I’d give in to Ziploc bags!! I do think that your effort leaves me to believe you were half-starved and had to get at the cereal NOW! I can’t open packaging without doing a lot of damage, but I try to hide that fact. So I suppose I cannot judge! LOL!

    I actually laughed out loud at seeing your Cereal box. 😂

I welcome your comments but be warned: I'm menopausal and as likely to snarl as smile. Wine or Maltesers are an acceptable bribe; or a compliment about my youthful looks and cheery disposition will do in a pinch.
