Very cool way to get your envelope opened

3 replies
My wife is sorting today's mail, automatically tearing the junk in half, before depositing in pile B.

She hands me this envelope...



"I can't tear it in half," she says.

I give it a shot. It doesn't tear. I turn it over and try from the bottom. It won't tear.

The Free Gift Enclosed is this thoughtful insert...



The magnifier is wrapped in a protective, plastic sleeve, making the outer envelope indestructible.

If you want to tear the contents of the mailer in half before throwing it in the trash, you need to open the envelope and remove the contents - which I'm pretty sure my wife would feel compelled to do. Me too, I think.

And as a matter of fact, I'm keeping the magnifier. I've been meaning to get one of these for my wallet. They make excellent emergency fire-starters.

    Interesting. Personally, I just throw crap like this away, not sure how many people try to tear everything in half but I certainly don't. The outside of the envelope kind of gives it away that it's crap in my opinion. Normally, I only get tricked by the basic white envelopes that I'm not really sure where they come from.

    I always check any mail to ensure it is spam or not.
    Never click on a url from a person you don't know in a different country.
    Also make sure the anti virus scans have been in mind.
