Remember when milk and some other products came in those ridiculous waxed cartons? You had to pull open the top somehow, spread the two wings on one side of the top, and of course they never pulled back far enough to let you take Step Two, which was to pull out to point that would serve as a pour spout. Then, since that rarely produced an actual opening to pour the milk through, you'd usually have to separate two layers of stuck-together cardboard. That would give you a nice raggedy edge of cardboard to pour your milk over.
This was 1950s packaging (it must have seemed modern at the time) that survived, for some reason, well into the 20th century but finally met its demise, in favor of plastic jugs with screw-lid pourers, or perhaps the same wax cartons but with screw-lid pourers, in about 1999.
Didn't it? No, apparently not. Some idiots are still putting their wares in these ridiculous cartons, and here's the evidence:
