Why is this still packaged this way?

Everytime I open a bag of flour, the same thing happens... it doesn't open easily or properly. There is a tear in the middle of the bag and I will need to cut it across with scissors to make a clean cut. Siphoning a few cups out and then pour the bag into another container. Am I the only one that has problems?

Sugar - same story.

While I'm at it - why isn't every can made with a pull tab.

Breathe in and out slowly and relax as the scent of irish soda bread is wafting through my kitchen.

Sorry...rant over

I totally agree! Can't even open and put in another container without spilling some!

I agree.I have a bright sunny kitchen and every time I open a bag of flour requires a lot if cleaning.You can see the dust everywhere..I think they are using a paper bag that is too flimsy now.

I don't use much flour or sugar but cereal bags drive me nuts. The bags are hard to open, sometimes they tear exposing too much product. The bags have to be folded carefully and secured with a clip so the cereal stays fresh. Can't they provide a zip lock closure on top? They charge enough for the box of cereal. Rant over.

That's true, but this problem is fixable.

I keep scissors in the kitchen mostly for the purpose of opening packages. Things I know usually make a mess anyway - I open in the sink where I can rinse the mess down the drain.

I pour my cereal in Lock n Lock so I cut the top of the paper bag and pour into LL. Easy. You don't have to use LL just use some other kind of secure sealed product.
