I have to admit I'm a little jealous that they didn't have this when my kids were little.  I cannot tell you the number of packages with hard plastic that I have suffered through opening with scissors and/or knives.

Well suffer no more!  (Geez...I sound like an infomercial, don't I?)  They have a nifty new product out called the ZipIt Opener. 


This product is designed specifically to open those hard-to-open plastic packages.  It's kind of a can-opener for plastic.

I want one.
