\"Trader<\/a><\/i><\/b>Today I had a fight with Trader Joe\u2019s dish soap. Those of you who know the TJ\u2019s brand of dish soap can probably identify.

There\u2019s no tab protruding off the edge to swiftly remove the sealant. You literally need tiny little elf hands or a pair of surgical tweezers to get any sort of traction.<\/p>\n

After about two minutes of wrestling with it, I thought, How hard could it be for Trader Joe\u2019s to have made one tiny tab to grab hold of \u2013 an improvement that would make a huge impact on the experience?<\/em><\/p>\n
