3 Ways to Open a Recalcitrant Bag at the Store: No Need to Lie on Your Finger

The rolls of cellophane bags for fruits, vegetables, cookies and sweets that can be found in every supermarket without exception are enough to make anyone nervous.

And if before the pandemic many shoppers would lick their fingers to open a package without a second thought, now this life hack is, for obvious reasons, prohibited.

However, the problem still exists, so we have selected for you simple ways to solve what at first glance seems like an impossible task.

1. Refrigerator

You don't have to put your finger in your mouth to get it wet.

Instead, go to the refrigerator where the frozen food is stored and hold your finger against the ice for a few seconds.

2. Wet wipe

Often the things we need are already in our bags or backpacks.

Before you go shopping, tie a bow from a damp cloth to the handle of your bag or cart – this way you will always have a source of moisture at hand.

3. Friction

This trick usually works with T-shirt bags.

It is enough to place the bag on the palm of your hand with the side where the handles are, cover it with your other palm on top and rub them together – the two sides of the bag will soon open.
