    I have come across a biscuit (sold in pairs in cellophane wrap) where you are guided to open the wrap from top RIGHT hand corner

    Why?

    Apparently the top RIGHT hand corner is weaker than the other three. From testing this was found to be correct

    Question, why is the package made this way? Why are the other three conners not made just as easy to open?

    Because:
    1. it would up the production cost to make more corners tearable.
    2. there's no reason to have more than one
    3. that particular corner was chosen encourage the consumer to hold the package the way that best displays the product and brand
    4. they don't want to make a package where the consumer can open more than one corner, causing them to accidentally dump the contents out.

    Not buying any of those reasons sorry

    Another abnormallyt. The biscuits are oatmeal but above oatmeal is Gumnut

    With nut allergies on the rise how many families with a nut allergic member will shy away from buying when they read that?

    The biscuits are delicious and I miss them if not brought to me with my requested coffee

    I know.
    I knew you wouldn't even before I posted. That's your M.O.
    But it's OK, your buy-in is not required.

    Sorry way beyond me

    Regards the opening of package, even another easy strip on other side could be a advantage to left handers
