Man, why do they make the bags of Pepperidge Farms cookies so freaking hard to open? My guess is that it serves as a final warning as to what you're about to do to your diet. It's like an "abandon all hope ye who enter here" for all those silly notions you had of slimming down. That annoying packaging is like their subtle way of asking you, "are you sure you want these cookies?" It gives you that extra 30 seconds of time to contemplate all the calories and fat you're about to consume. Darn you Milano, why do you have to be so good?
