Good luck opening a package of Hormel Natural Choice lunch meat. The first hurdle is opening the cardboard box surrounding the resealable bag holding the meat. For some reason, Hormel decided that super glue was a great solution to keeping that box shut. Even with the printed tip of where to lift, the flap is stuck down so well there very little chance of getting any leverage. The best solution is to stab the corner of the flap underneath your fingernail and hoping your nail doesn't rip off as you pull up.

Assuming you can open the box, the next task is to open the resealable pouch which is made out of some new space-age, clear metal. Hopefully you know Wolverine or Superman and can get them to open the top of the bag. Opening the top of the bag is only the first step in being able to remove the lunch meat. Theoretically, after opening the bag, you should be able to pull the resealable section on the bag apart and take out the lunch meat. But, since this product is all natural with no preservatives, one molecule of oxygen will apparently force the meat to spoil at an exponential pace. To prevent any air at all into the pouch, the pouch is sealed with a heat press to meld the layers of plastic together. Of course this requires another call to a superhero.

Finally you are able to retrieve the deli slices from the pouch. Of course the cheese may have hardened and the bread may have molded by the time that the package has been opened. Enjoy eating that piece of turkey or ham, but chew it quickly before it turns into slime.
