Don't you just love the boxes with the convenient rip-strip thing when the glue is practically always in the wrong spot, making it completely useless...
This is thanks to cutting corners. A material scientist will come up with a genuinely perfect tear-open container, just to have marketing and budget teams purchase lower-quality materials that no longer perform the advertised way.
Or on the production line they cut corners on having some technician check that some piece of equipment is calibrated correctly. So the tip strip ends up two inches lower than where it’s supposed to be.
This happens to me all the time with string cheese I can’t get open.
