I don't mind having a lolly once in awhile so I bought a packed of Butter Scotch Drops at the supermarket the other day. When it came time that I fancied one I was sitting on the lounge with my laptop on my knee reading your blogs which I do enjoy doing. Whilst reading I grabbed a Butter Scotch Drops from the packet, couldn't get the packet open, so placed the laptop on a small table went and got the scissors to cut the top of the packet, hurray I got a Drop out but goodness me, I tried to undo the Drop as they are all in separate little packets sealed too. So, everytime I want one I have to have the scissors to cut it out! Just a small inconvenience. Then I thought if I was somewhere else and had to have a lolly for medical reason what would I do to get the damn thing open! I can't do it with my teeth, that didn't work. A question is in order for anyone who has an answer/suggestion, how to open in such a situation, or any if no scissors. If I'd known they were individually wrapped I wouldn't have bought them - but they are tasty :)

Very small problem!
To make matters worse the blessed paper after cut sometimes sticks to your fingers and won't leave them.

80 Mile Beach, Western Australia.
Eighty Mile Beach is a 220 klm stretch of white sand in Western Australia, located halfway between Broome and Port Hedland. It is a popular spot for fishing and shell collecting, known for its spectacular sunsets and as a vital wetland for migratory birds and a nesting ground for flatback turtles. Due to risk of jellyfish, sharks, and crocodiles, swimming is not recommended, although some visitors use the caravan park for a base to enjoy the surroundings..
We have stayed at 80 miles beach a few times and enjoyed it. Walked along part of the beach, collected shells and watched the sunsets. The area is rather isolated being rather hot in the winter when we travelled there each time with no humidity.
