How can you open formula carton in airport/on plane without scissors? Can they do it for you?

teeth????

Teeth. It can be messy but it'll do for a plane. We've only done short haul but maybe if you ask on long haul they might have something they could open it with??

teeth work ok to make a small tear then carefully rip the corner off.

Ha ha, wanted to post 'teeth' about 20 minutes ago, but didn't want to be jumped on by the 'sterile brigade'. I'm such a wuss
Anyway... Teeth.

I open cartons with my fingernails.

Am I just really hard?

I don't find it that difficult. I have a technique where you fold the cardboard, then try to tear it then cut it with your nail (mine aren't esp. long) and then tear it open by hand.

I find that quite easy.

if I did it with my teeth (and I have no qualms with cleanliness) I wonder how much I'd actually get in the bottle!!

There's no way I could do that with my teeth! Any other suggestions? Not a sterile matter just couldn''t physically do it!

Poke hole in it with a pen or pencil?

I couldn't do it with teeth either.

Why? Do you have dentures woofles

nail clippers - nip the edge open with them, then tear.
