Frozen foods and weather

I noticed a new trend in frozen foods (mostly) and that is the opening of the bag is no longer on the top but towards the upper front. Why is this happening??  The front opening and closure is a terrible idea in my opinion.  I have mozzarella sticks from Costco and this is a good example of them.  When I try to open them, it's not easy because I can't grab the two sides.  And then trying to close them, you press down but what about the contents in the bag?  This is not made for convenience at all, and I'm not sure if it's saving any money in bag production?  Whoever thought this was a good idea needs to go back and try again.  I also noticed on some tempura shrimp and when I tried to close it, I was crushing them so I just didn't bother and used a clip to close it.  Someone needs to fix this or just change it back to top loading.

Weekly Update:
How is it both cold and hot? This past week the weather outside was pretty chilly, like a Winter snap chill but if you stand in the sun, it feels very warm to hot!  It's like the opposite of being in the shade where it's hot but if no sunlight it's cooler.  But not really used to this because if its cold outside, its cold every where (which is fine) but it felt odd being in the sun and it being warm, almost hot!  But where is the rain?  Originally we were due some rain this week but we pretty much received nothing which is very sad.  They kept touting this being the worst El Nino predicted this year but... where?

At the movies:
Still holding to #1 is Wonka with 14.4 million but in general this is a lull in terms of box office anyway.  We'll see a lot of "throw-away" films as the award season is upon us for the next 4 to 5 weeks.  New at #2 is Night Swim with 12 mil to open and honestly not a bad number for this film.  Down to #3 is Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom with 10.6 mil and finally hit 100 mil domestic box office cume. Holding at #4 is Migration with 10.3 mil and could potentially hit 100 mil in the end before it's out.  Rounding off the top 5 is Anyone But You with 9.5 mil and overall did OK at the box office.
