A CD Tip

When I used to work at a record store customers were always asking me to open their new CDs for them. 99 percent of them were incredibly impressed that I could unwrap the plastic and remove the white tape-like label that seals the top of the case in under 3 seconds.

Your tip for the day: Hold the top of the CD on an angle slide the bottom side across the edge of a table. The plastic wrapper will comes right off. Then unhinge the case and the white tape-like label can be peeled off easily. Then just re-hinge the case.

Of course my speed developed from opening a lot of CDs...and boredom.
