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?

    Wine bottles. After thousands of years of drinking you would think humans would develop a bottle design that doesn’t dribble down the side after pouring.

      If this is a regular issue for you I’d recommend a decanter or at least a large carafe. It solves your problem, helps the wine to ‘breathe’ and looks fancypants as balls.

      We did.

      Boxed wine.

      However, bottle design is pretty refined, and they are quite reusuable.

        Ok so my father makes his own wine, at home from kits/concentrate. He makes a lot of wine and drinks a lot of wine (and gives a lot of wine away as gifts)

        One day he called me, and he was so excited. Like if he wasn’t a 61 year old man I would have guessed he was going to announce his pregnancy.

        “You won’t believe it! The wine place is selling bags now!!! So I can put my wine in bags and put those in boxes!!! Omg why didn’t I think of this?! Think of all the time saved with corks and recorking!”

        It was a happy day for him, certainly.
