I, too, miss the little red string


Just didn't realize till now.


Why doesn’t Band-Aid packaging have that little red string anymore?

It was the most satisfying part of a small injury.

Band-Aids today are wrapped where one end is glued further down creating two flaps to let you easily open the package. In thinking about it, I don't miss the little red string at all.
