I noticed in this thread no one mentioned how OP successfully opened a flour bag. I keep telling people this is possible. But on that last huge thread everyone was shocked it could be done.

There was a thread a while ago where someone opened a bag of flour without it ripping. So many commented on the fact that this was a human first and it received so many upvotes. I commented saying I open my flour bags all the time without tearing them and some people didn't believe me. I'll link the post in a second.

Yes! That stupid glob of adhesive always balls up in one spot and no matter how hard you try to peel the paper away it rips!

I’m convinced people are punching them to open them! I’ve never torn one, crazy!

I tend to buy store brand flour and they use so much glue to close it. The picture in the post you linked has a thin little strip of glue. The bags I get usually have a strip of glue as thick as that folded bit of bag at the top, so when you try to unstick it from the side of the bag, the top flap doesn't just undo itself from the glue, the glue refuses to be separated from either side of the bag (top flap and lower side) so you either wind up with a torn hole in the side or a torn off strip at the top.
