Okay, does it EVER work for ANYONE to "press flap in here" on boxes? I don't think I've ever been able to simply "press" and have the box tear easily. I'm always trying to do it in a desperate hurry (as my water is already boiling, or whatever), and after breaking off a couple fingernails trying to push the flap in, I end up stabbing it frantically with the scissors or a knife, ripping the box until it looks like it was torn into by a wild tiger. All the boxes in my pantry look like this:
