If you're anything like us, you've had more than one occasion to curse at plastic product packaging that's impossible to open without a chain saw. Here's some good news: At least one major retailer gets it.

Costco, according to this post on Treehugger, is dumping some of the dreaded clamshells from hell for a new type of packaging called Natralock, which is supposedly far easier to open and better for the environment.

We, and our mental health, are thankful.
