Yeah, it works, but why do I care? I just leave the jagged edge of the tape out after I tear it apart with my thumb and forefinger. It’s not hurting anything, and it’s not like these labels are on containers that last more than a week anyway. Why not just tear the tape and get on with my day?

Putting your finger down on the tape role works too.

Inb4 the “tape cutters” arrive.
No seriously. They terrify me, I’m leaving before they get here.

Confirmed today. Works

I would just fold over the edge. Unless you are not reusing these containers dish probably hates you a little bit.

Finally I’m free from the burden of untearable masking tape

I’ll just use electrician/insulated tape until I die, easily the best thing to label stuff in the kitchen for me.

Real talk.
This has been a savior for multiple issues.
Health code deducts CRITICAL points from your business if you have tape residue left on containers. To combat this we don’t leave labels on a vessel if it’s exposed to heat. But also, we use tape dispensers because we’re a butcher. I’ll pull a hair extra length and then fold it slightly under itself, exposing a tab to make the label ez pull off! Thus we avoid tape residue and tearing all together.
I’m still coping with the tiny flags on all of our fish boxes… but damn is it satisfying to pull off the label. We call it a “Courtesy tab.”

All my sharpies have usually broken the … whatever you call that… the clothe grabber?

This is going to get buried, but I had this special exec one time. One of the hills he wanted to die on was that the tape labels needed to be cut woth a knife or razor. no tearing, no perforated edge. cut. i really hope chef Massey is doing well, somewhere in Florida.

Its called a *Sharpie* for a reason. ~someone who uses one as a tape cutter.

K, Homie, I’ve worked in construction and there are sometimes these tips and tricks that can make something easier, better and make your life both of those.
This is just dumb. So what if it’s not torn perfectly at the edge? Do you have OCD or some shit?
