Fiendish Plot Afoot
Good old fashioned packaging
Yes, there is undoubtedly a fiendish plot to deprive us ‘oldies’ of many of the basic necessities of life. The plot takes the form of completely unopenable wrappers, jars, etc.. Many of these are described as ‘childproof’ but of course we know that really they are ‘oldieproof’. Undoubtedly the Illuminati, a race of Alien Reptilians, the Freemasons or possibly the Compulsory Euthanasia at 40 Society are behind it all.
Such things as those plastic bottles of cooking oil which my mother, at 95, finds absolutely impossible to open and which even I, at nearly 65, have difficulty with. I struggle with the little plastic seal, which often breaks as I try to pull it off. My mother simply punches a hole in the plastic bottle and squeezes the oil out thru that, a quite messy procedure I might add, so I wouldn’t advise it.
