I would hazard a guess that it is not in fact carefully designed :-)  It 
just makes you want to get the CEO or MD to come and show you how to open 
their packets!

I don't understand why people can't get this right, it goes wrong on all 
sorts of packaging and it's not that hard to get right - look at cigarette 
packets for an example of how it should work (but then maybe they just have 
more money to spend on Engineering the packaging?).
