The bruises and scratches are still fresh.... the pain, still there. My hands are a mess! Why?? Fisher Price is out to get me! Well, not just me, but every parent who has to rip, cut, saw, tear, or knaw their way through the REDICULOUS amount of twist ties, plastic, glue, and packaging to get to their children's toys.
It took only a few moments to rip the paper off ... but getting the toys out of the boxes... took at least an hour. Add in two VERY excited kids, pulling at my arms and begging for their new toys, and I was thinking of a few choice words I'd like to share with Fisher Price.
I understand the need to secure toys for shipping, display and theft.... however, it seems as though everytime I buy one of their toys, the packaging gets even worse.
I found myself wondering HOW they created a machine to twist dozens of ties so tightly in one package! No human hand could twist that tightly in such a cramped space! Maybe there are small elves working for Fisher Price that jump into each box.... on a mission to protect the toys they slaved to make.
Maybe my memory is flawed, but I don't remember that much packaging when I was a kid... or multiple Band-Aids on my parents hands at Chrstimas Dinner...
