Are there any common household items or products that you think are designed incredibly poorly? (self.asklemmy)

For example, I'm incredibly confused about how you're supposedly to measure liquid laundry detergent with the cap. At least the kind that I have sits on it's side, so if you measure it with the cap it just leaks everywhere and makes a mess.

Or at my parents house they have a bag of captain crunch berries that has a new design, where instead of zipping along the top of the bag like normal, it has a zipper in the front slightly beneath the top. That way when you poor it you can't see what you're doing cuz the bag is in the way. Like what the heck who's idea was that?

Does victorinox offer sharpening services? Some knife manufacturers have programs where you can either send your knife in or take it in to a store and have it professionally sharpened.

If your blade is losing its edge quickly, it probably needs to have a new edge put on it with an actual sharpening, v rather than just the touch up it gets from a honing rod.

I actually do sharpen it with a kitchen sharpener and when it's needed sharpening blocks. It's an excellent knife large useful handle and thin slimmer blade it's a major improvement from any stores chef knife. I considered shopping their other knives as well. But I wanted to branch out a bit too.
