Another thing that I've noticed is that the art of leaving off a small dab of glue at the center of the top seal of a cardboard milk/juice container seems to have been lost since the advent of the plastic cap on the side. There is absolutely no way to tear the ears back on a carton and get it to fold open with a pour spout, because the glue is holding the tip of the spout tightly.....

I've started keeping breakable blade razor knives in one of the kitchen drawers. I don't even bother trying to peel labels on anything anymore. Slide the blade in the crack between the lid and the bottle, spin the blade around and Bob's your uncle. Side note, I'm plenty strong enough to open bottles, jars, lids.....I'm so damn anal because of what I do for a living that aesthetically the clean cut is more visually appealing.
Also another handy tool I keep in one of the kitchen drawers.

Also noticed Makita makes one that is slightly more bad ass.
