The Downfall of Western Civilization

What is the point of this? The opening at the flip-top is almost exactly the same size as the opening in the top of the jar, so what purpose does it serve? Why introduce this? Could it be because we are so in love with our fake bacon bits that we are not willing to spend the extra 2.5 seconds that it takes to unscrew the lid (I timed it)? Or perhaps there is some segment of the human population that has lobbied the fake bacon bit industry because they don’t know how to unscrew jars and they are therefore being unfairly discriminated against in their love for fake bacon bits.

Maybe this large opening is just the beginning. Maybe the fake bacon bit industry is starting off with a large opening, hoping to dupe the American People into thinking "No big deal", while planning on making it smaller each year, figuring that we won't notice. Is this an attempt, by way of some foolish government mandate, to interfere with our Constitutionally Protected Right to consume fake bacon bits?

What is wrong with this damn country?
