The One Useful Skill I've Learned at Work - How to open new CDs.

[forsyth]

And I don't even get to use it that much, because I hardly ever buy new CDs.

Okay, you all know how hard new CDs are to open, right? Well, there's a simple way to get them open. Once you get the outside plastic off, instead of fighting with that stupid sticker on the top, just pop the bottom hinge of the CD out. Then you can just unfold the front from the back and peel the sticker on the top off from the inside. It's a lot easier and quicker. And every time I show a customer how to do it, they seem impressed with how easy it is. As for the plastic wrapper, you can just get a knife, or just drag one of the edges down the corner of a table quickly, that'll usually get it started enough you can get it open.

A friend of mine showed me how to do that years ago. Of course, he did it to save the sticker, so when he decided to sell it he could make it look unopened...
