Comment on Do I have incredibly weak thumbs, or does this instruction exist on boxes just to mess with us?

  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.

    If you want to be able to penetrate with an index finger, I’m off work in about 2 hours. Wait…what?

    while you kiss your ass goodbye, and the box of noodles and cheesy flavoring defeats you yet again

    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.

  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.

  You know that the serrated lines aren’t great when cutting the cardboard with a kitchen knife is legitimately easier. The blade wasn’t serrated, either.

  I always go thumb from the top, so pretty much same position as photo 2. Still not happening.

  See… what you’re supposed to do… is… hold it between you’re two hands. Kinda lie you’re praying. jab your two thumbs into the tab, then pull outward and just rip the box in half. Alternatively, if you’re the Hulk or something, you can just grab either end and rip it in half that way.
