Oxo Cubes

gonnaenodaethat · 19-12-2007, 20:30

Why oh why in the wee mans name are they so hard to open??? The wee bits of silver paper grate on my teeth.

Morrisons used to do their own make that had two small flaps that you pulled and the cube just popped out. It was far easier and no stock cube crumbs up your nails and wee bits of foil to fish out the gravy.

C'mon Oxo. Improve the design PLEASE.

Crush them first, before you open the foil, between your thumb and fingers. Then, once it's soft and squidgy you can open it with complete ease.

Tesco ones are like the Morrisons one. Mind you, I've never had a problem opening the Oxo ones either.

Maybe if you used your hands rather than your teeth.....

I know this might sound gross, but sometimes, I used to get Oxo Cubes, and lick at them until they disintegrated into my mouth!

OOOh....a nice mug of oxo on a cold day is lovely!!!!

Why can't you get venison stock cubes?

I've also noticed that OXO cubes used to be cubes, but they've made them smaller by making them a bit of an X shape
