Bad packagement rant

I bought an iDREAM bluetooth device some days ago. Something that you plug into your USB port and *POOF* you have bluetooth capabilities on your computer (which I didn’t have). I don’t know what the correct name is for that. Anyway, here is a screenshot of a similar product since I didn’t find any of mine.

It is wrapped in plastic with cardboard inside it. The way to open it is to cut through the plastic and get the thing out. So I took a pair of scissors and started cutting. Damn, that was tougher than I thought; I didn’t manage to get through it. So I looked more closely at the cut already made and saw that there was a small CD inside it: I had been cutting through this CD! WTF? Nowhere could I see that hidden inside the cardboard there was a CD. Why do they make this invisible?

Now I have to say I was very lucky. I only cut the side of the CD, but I could see that it had been written only in the middle. Fortunately I didn’t cut too far and I still can use the CD. It isn’t flat anymore though, but it works. Next time I’ll cut right next to the edges instead of going for the smallest cut possible to get the thing out.
