If you are weak from sickness, why do they have to make the tablet package so hard to open???

I have had the flu (I hope it's just the flu) for the past four days now. After the first day, which I thought was just a head cold, I did not feel any better so I purchased the DayQuil/NyQuil liquidgel pills. In my weakened, flu-like state attempting to open these tiny little two pill packages was like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole! It just wasn't going to happen! So I batted my droopy eyelashes at my husband, who is also suffering the same symptoms, and asked if he could attempt the impossible. After about 30 seconds of pulling and peeling and ... what is this plastic made out of!... I finally pulled my kitchen scissors out of their wooden hiding place on the cutlery holder and hacked that little plastic package to bits! Alas, NyQuil! Beautiful, bright green liquidgel..... zzzz.... zzzzz...
