Yes I made a point to carefully observe the clear back side of the package and cut it with scissors, making sure not to damage the zipper.

Still, to make it worse, the zipper was apparently just barely glued onto the outer bag and peeled off the bag as soon as I opened it, ultimately still ruining the zipper, despite careful efforts not to.

Of course I ended up having to put the whole package into another zipper bag to keep it fresh…

    The invisible perforated line. It tears exactly 0.75" at a time. It’s best to just use a knife.

      Yep. I perfectly cut the bag with scissors, but still the zipper was poorly adhered to the bag, and the zipper peeled loose off the bag as soon as I opened it, so I still had to dig out another generic zipper bag for the rest of the turkey.

      Sigh, I tried my best, got it perfect, and yet the bag failed anyways. At least I already had a backup plan, as the photo I posted was before I even tried to open the package. I had a feeling it was still somehow gonna fuck up…
