A childhood moment of ingenuity has turned into a viral life hack, offering a solution to one of the most universally annoying problems: opening rigid plastic packaging without scissors and without injury.

The video, posted by Aaron Dizon, demonstrates a method he discovered at age 8 while trying to open a new video game without any tools. By applying targeted kinetic energy, essentially striking the packaging in a specific spot to weaken its structure, he was able to rip it open cleanly and safely.

The video is about teaching you how to open those frustrating plastic packages that tend to cut you every single time. This is how you open them with ease! I found this method out when I was 8, while not having any scissors to open a brand new game I used the application of kinetic energy to weaken an area of the packaging resulting in ripping it open easily
