I've just witnessed something awesome. I bought a packet of chocolate
buttons, and it comes with a perforated tear strip. Interestingly, the
packet is carefully designed so that tearing this strip does not, in
fact, grant access to the contents of the packet.
That's pure brilliance, right there! :-D

The reason you're always disappointed is that you have such high standards.

I'd say "typical". Oh boy another face! :-D
Thunderbird has several of these you can insert from the toobar into email,
but the bar doesn't show up in its newreader.:( Something to do with
Unicode,
maybe.

The ones in the bar are probably the ones it recognizes. The bar is also
there when you write a email to a newsgroup. It does not make sense when
reading, either the original writer added them or not.

One person I know on IRC comes up with the most entertaining variations
on East Asian-style emoticons, I really should start keeping track of them.

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?).

If the ones in the UK are anything like the ones in the US, I learned in
grade school that you have to apply pressure to the exact right spot on
the corners, or else you wind up spending your lunch period fighting
with a carton containing substandard milk.
