Opens any condiment packets

Ever struggled to open a packet of mustard--maybe even used your teeth. This ever-sharp, pac-man-shaped snip (smaller than a dime) fits on your key-chain to give you a lifetime of condiment packet cutting with no mess.

Not sure abotu the "no mess" part - we are talking about ketchup here. Or mustard. [DrCurry, Nov 14 2007]

i like it a lot, a pac-man shaped snipper for my hello kitty keychain

Isn't this the same as a tiny letter opener? They sell a small plastic square a little larger than a stamp that has a angled slot on one side with a razor in it. I think it would work just as well on Ketchup.

Welcome back or to, as the case may be.

I like this idea. I'd like to see some way to use it without having to touch it with my greasy fingers, said greasy fingers being the reason I can't open packets. (No, they aren't always greasy, just when I handle fast food. Well, also when I try to open the flavor and oil packets in the Indonesian version of ramen noodles.)

I dunno. Just stomping on them always seems to work pretty well for me.

What on earth is a "condiment packet"? Surely, if the staff are having difficulty in refilling the mustard dish or the salt, it's their concern?
-- MaxwellBuchanan, Nov 14 2007


Yes...after a brief respite I have returned. You may remember my bar bank and mobile grazer ideas --or not. Any how, ramen noodles use to be quite difficult to open until they added the cut.

Maxwell b where in heck do you live that you never saw a condiment packet?
-- dentworth, Nov 17 2007


dent, I believe he was alluding to his affluent, comfortable lifestyle (or lack thereof)

//A condiment packet is something, for instance, you open up to cover your wiener.// Good god! Who would have known? Over here we call them "condoms".
-- MaxwellBuchanan, Nov 17 2007


And they go on your staff.
-- baconbrain, Nov 17 2007


Boom boom. As we say to the staff.
-- MaxwellBuchanan, Nov 17 2007


The main problem with packets is they are more plastic than mustard...just too small.
-- Spacecoyote, Nov 17 2007


The kutter could also look like a round frog, gator, bear, or other creature and would make a satisfying "click" as it nipped off the corner of your packet.
