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.
Would you like to save this stuff?
We'll email you this post, so you can refer to it later.
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.

LOL
I'm putting a hammer in my kitchen drawer and inviting all my friends over for a spaghetti dinner. This will blow them away. HA! love it
lori jones
did not see that coming!! thanks!!
Jane
Well...I usually resort to scissors, knives, hammers, etc to open most packages...so damn frustrating to me...but when you don't start smashing and banging, I think....she's cleaning out her drawer first...no, wait, she just did that teaching us all how to be organized...then..boom! Magic happens! Thank you.....now like others, I gotta eat all my spaghetti in the box so I can buy some like this and try it. Love your funny and so very helpful posts:)
Karen
Thanks Jane! Spaghetti and meatballs will never be the same for you now. :) ~ karen!
Bonnie
No doubt about it, you have panache. Were you voted paunchiest in high school, Karen?
I loved this video. What I can't help thinking about is the failures--the times you try things like this and they don't work. Would you please make a video of failures? Ok, ok, I suppose you don't fail.
I soooo miss your daily blog. I had it at the top of my homepage until Google discontinued that homepage in October. Now, I have to actually remember to check your blog. But, when I do, I always enjoy it.

I was voted best dancer. I show failures all the time! Case in point ... https://www.theartofdoingstuff.com/how-to-fold-a-fitted-sheet/ Why don't you just subscribe to my site and get it by email every day? ~ karen

Karen-[How could you have not taught me this until now? I'm your bestest reader on the East Coast, at least, and you've let me be among the uneducated?] You're so funny I almost fell off the couch, scared the cat, and made the dogs hurry over to see why I was sputtering and gasping! Your delivery is spot on! You are too-o-o much! Have a great Canadian Thanksgiving!
Karen
I don't know. It must have slipped my mind. I meant to teach you before this! Now if you'll excuse me I have Thanksgiving dinner to ignore preparing. ;) ~ karen!
Duetsu
Awesome ... Freaking awesome ... Like a V-8 slaps head moment ...
Kitty Nix
you are so hilarious!!!!@!
BethM@Under A Pile of Scrap!
I guess I need to buy a different brand of spaghetti that comes in a bag instead of a box! :)
Karen
Or you could try the same technique with the box. I'm not sure it would end well for the spaghetti though. ~ karen!
Irene
Ok. So, you know I love you, right? And you know that I have gobbled up your blog from beginning to end since finding it not so long ago, right?
Of course you do, I just told you.
Somehow though, SOMEHOW, I missed this post.
Lady, you made me laugh so hard that it prompted me to share it on a FB page with about 5000 members, and the giggle comments are already pouring in.
Thank you for being you! :-D
Karen
Hah! Thanks Irene. I love it when people share. :) I have no idea how you missed the opening a package of spaghetti post, but I'm glad you eventually found it. ~ karen!
H. Love
THAT was hilarious :)
Karen
Well, thanks. :) ~ karen!

Note To Self: This does not work with a carton of eggs.
Tommy
Oh. My. God. I nearly peed. I am going to find a package of spaghetti right now.
Karen
I know. It's pretty fantastic. And kind of addictive. You'll be trying to open everything this way. I can tell you right now, to save you some time ... it does not work with toilet paper. ~ karen!
Sam
Far effin out!
