When I have my fruit pastilles, I generally tear down to where I am taking the current pastille. Unfortunately, this results in lots of torn paper and foil, and also usually means the packet quickly falls apart.
Enter the Helical Packet Tearing packet. This has slight perforations in a helical manner
going down the entire length, with the distance from one line to the next about the width of one fruit pastille. Every so often there is also a horizontal (the packet is vertical) perforation, enabling you to tear the helical bit of paper off.
As you go down, you will be able to easily access your sweets, whilst not producing too much rubbish, and whilst not causing the packet to fall apart. If you ignored the horizontal perforations you would end up with a fun helical ribbon.
Yippee!
EDIT: Of course, I was just testing you when I said 'spiral' instead of 'helical', and hippo got it, so I corrected all occurences.

<pedant>Do you mean *helical* packet
tearing?</pedant> - good idea,
otherwise. |
|
| |
Of course, hippo. I was just testing you. |
|

I say why not...we could be on the cusp of a candy revolution |

Until this excellent idea is baked, try pushing the foil up through the outer paper sleeve. That way you only have to tear the foil and the sleeve maintains packet integrity. |

Oh, and can I have the purple one please when you get to it - they're my favourite. |
|

you don't expect me to bun this, do you? |

Hah hah hah. Your puny helical fruit
pastille product packaging is no match
whatsoever for my mighty fractal winegum
product packaging. |

Ian Tindale - but surely they can coexist in peace and harmony? |
|
| |
po - yes, actually, please? |
|

boysparks - it depends on whether there is more than one - I want at least one. |

Like sharpening a wax pencil. I like this. |
|
| |
Sorry - how is this like sharpening a wax pencil? |
|
| |
Like peeling the paper off before you sharpen the pencil. |
|
| |
I enjoy that part, kind of like popping bubble wrap. |
|
| |
Oh, I see. All my wax crayons break and vanish back into hyperspace long before they need sharpening. |

The world is currently obsessed with packaging design, and no one's done this yet? Keep 'em coming [dbmag9]. |
