For example, I’m incredibly confused about how you’re supposedly to measure liquid laundry detergent with the cap. At least the kind that I have sits on it’s side, so if you measure it with the cap it just leaks everywhere and makes a mess.
Or at my parents house they have a bag of captain crunch berries that has a new design, where instead of zipping along the top of the bag like normal, it has a zipper in the front slightly beneath the top. That way when you poor it you can’t see what you’re doing cuz the bag is in the way. Like what the heck who’s idea was that?
I don’t think I’ve ever seen packaging as described in the UK. Normally they’re packaged in individual blisters that can be pushed through the foil covering in a single step. I’m not sure about this ‘peeling’ action that’s described.
Also, for what’s it’s worth, medication in the UK is publicly known by it’s International Nonproprietary Name rather than brands, so for the most part people will ask for ‘paracetamol’ rather than Deludomex™ or whatever. ‘Acetaminophen’ is a new one to me, though.
It’s not a brand name. Two American companies picked different compound abbreviations at roughly the same time, and somehow one name spread here and the other name spread everywhere else.
