Sometimes you do things over and over again in your life having no idea you're doing it completely wrong.
Until last year for instance my niece thought the word was "chickmunk". Clearly, it is not. But she had no idea. It worked for her her whole life, the word "chickmunk". She didn't end up in jail because of using it, she never once had her house repossessed and didn't turn to drugs because of it. But once I pointed out to her that the actual word was "chipmunk", her life got a little bit better. Easier. More fulfilling. Colours were brighter. She won prizes and stuff.
And so I am going to teach all of you how to do something you probably think you've been doing just fine over your entire lifetime.
I'm going to teach you how to properly open a package of spaghetti.
How to Open Spaghetti
How to properly open a cellophane package of spaghetti.
Get ready for the fireworks and prizes.

brilliant!

What the...!
And I've been using the hammer all along!*?

I was taking you seriously until you pulled out the sunscreen or whatever was in that tube. Nice!
I'm a box spaghetti girl, which seems so boring now. Have to work on opening the box and getting all the pasta into the pot from across the room. Liven things up a bit.
Carol-Anne
Awesome! ;)

This reminds me of the wine bottle opening on the tree ! Brilliant

They described the wine bottle in shoe technique in GQ this month! Yes, I like to read GQ :) Thanks for the late night laugh! Nicola

You may have just changed my life (and possibly my pants size). I've *been* buying the healthy, whole-grain stuff that comes in the boxes. But no more. I'm going back to the carb-o-licious stuff just so I can try this. I'll send you the tailor's bill, shall I?
Karen
Hunter - I can't accept your tailor's bill, but if you send me all your pants I'll add elastic panels to the sides of all of them. ~ karen

Or I could do the sensible thing and use it as an excuse to buy new pants...or at least to just wear stretchy pants. Winter is coming right, and stretchy pants are cozy. It's...seasonal. Or at least that's my excuse!

Wow! 51 seconds and your spaghetti is open and your drawer is cleaned out. I love multitasking.
Jessy
Awesome, next time I am at the grocery store, I will try this, several times, right there in the aisle. I will enjoy it.
taria
I'm really messing it all up. I buy the stuff in a
box!
Brandi Mills
BWA HA HA! That was totally awesome! (Yes, I'm like, channeling my 80's teen self today.)
Kim
Made me laugh! Awesome!

Is it pathetic that now I want to run out to the store and buy a package (or two or three) of spaghetti that I don't need?
djonn
sadly this method does not work with rotini ;)
I guess that's what the hammer is for......
Charisa
My spaghetti comes in a box. What am I to do now?
(Love your site, thanks for all the laughs!)
Anna
love it.
Ruth
You had me going "WTH?!" by the time you got to the hammer... I've been 'twickt'! *cue Elmer Fudd*
Loved it! Opening a pack of spaghetti will never be the same again... and that's a good thing. *returns scissors to drawer*
Laura C
Waaaah! I only have spaghetti in a box. But I'll look for the bag.
lynn
I guess the hammer is for the dolts like me that buy the boxed stuff huh? As if gluten free products
weren't costly enough, they have to put the cellophane bag inside a box...
Awaiting the sequel,

What a hoot!!! Through it all I just kept thinking I need to head to the garage to open the package!
