Something about being by the seaside made me want to get fish and chips tonight. So I walked the mean streets of Llandudno and got into Tribells just before they closed.

That’s when I realised that the tomato sauce sachet must be one of the worst designs ever.

When you get it to tear down the “tear here” line, the plastic tightens up, so it becomes impossible to tear off a corner. You then have to squeeze the sauce out in a random direction, usually over the table. When you do get the sauce out, it is never enough.

There must surely be a better way of serving portions – I’m not sure about the little paper cups and the press squirt dispenser system either.
