For example, I’m incredibly confused about how you’re supposedly to measure liquid laundry detergent with the cap. At least the kind that I have sits on it’s side, so if you measure it with the cap it just leaks everywhere and makes a mess.

Or at my parents house they have a bag of captain crunch berries that has a new design, where instead of zipping along the top of the bag like normal, it has a zipper in the front slightly beneath the top. That way when you poor it you can’t see what you’re doing cuz the bag is in the way. Like what the heck who’s idea was that?

      Thankfully, there are some designs that improve on this! Here’s what’s in my kitchen:

      The brand is OXO, for anyone curious.

        I have that and they still are still a pain (I said something else here and it got censored! LOL) to get in or out of a crowded tool jar. Then I always bump that end switch and they pop open in the jar.

          Leave the one tong hanging out. Ie. Straddle the side. Assuming youre not one that cares about aesthetics.

      I stick mine to the side of the fridge with old hard drive magnets when not in use.

          Sure, but my fridge is pretty much right beside the stove so it works out nicely for me.

      Most of my tongs have a metal square that slides down the length to keep them closed, is that not normal?

        My parents had one where it slid down, and my grandfather had one where it slid up. They looked otherwise identical.

        Some thanksgivings we’d have both at the same table and it drove me up the fucking wall.

      Those are gravity operated. Point the thongs grippers downward to open, point them to the ceiling to close.

      Was a while before I found out. I like them better now.
