Things I'm Bad At: Opening SnackPacks

I bought SnackPacks for the first time in... forever?  The kids like Jello and I don't have the space in my fridge for it, so I decided this was a great choice.  Today, I had to open two of them.  Here is the packaging, Audrey's SnackPack, and the top of Sebastian's:

It tastes delicious if you can earn your way into the packaging.
First, you have to use your teeth - there's not enough top for peeling and I think I stubbed my finger trying.  If I didn't bite my nails, I probably would have broken one.
Second, it's not going to come off the edges because the packages are SO well sealed, so you'll have to try several times and it will tear and your kids will jump with their spoon impatiently.
Third, I cut the inside of my bottom lip.  Also, I think I still have a little glue on my teeth.
Fourth, if you cut the inside of your bottom lip, it's hard to keep hold of the SnackPack aluminum in your teeth, so that falls on the floor and the little droplets get on the rug.

It's delicious, but I think anyone who sends these in their kids' lunches should know that your kids are A, Trading them to kids with knives or really sharp teeth; B, going to lose their grown-up teeth trying to eat them; C, Seasoning the 10% Strawberry Fruit Juice with blood from their inner lip instead of High Fructose Corn Syrup.

Or maybe I'm just really bad at opening them.  That might be a possibility.

My lip hurts.
