I use scissors and cut off a small strip at the top of the bag. I've had too many be really hard to pull open, and I was afraid of bending the cards, so I've just been going the scissors route for quite awhile now.

To be fair, I open a bag of chips at the bottom if they're flavored like doritos. All the good spices settle to the bottom of the bag during its journey to my home. I open a blind bag from either end but I keep the bags relatively unharmed and put into my storage box along with the G4 pony boxes.

If you really want to keep your bag nice the best way to do it would be to take an exact-o knife and slice the bag open underneath the little flap that goes along the back. That way you can't see the opening unless you look under the flap and that way both ends stay nice and you don't notice the opening unless you look for it :)

I open from the top as long as I already have a bag from that wave (I save one bag per wave along with everything in it). If I plan on saving it, I open from the bottom because my logic is weird c:

Like a bag of chips, but from the bottom.

I might have to try this method on one and see if I like it. I feel bad since a quarter of my collection is open on the top, a quarter on the bottom, etc. I wanted consistency.

Reading all these remarks reminds me of that old "There's no wrong way to eat a Reeses campagain." :P

I open mine from the top - carefully though because I keep the bag too :)

It looks like open from the top is the poll winner.

I will try both that method and the exacto in the back and return with results.

Thanks for all your help everypony! :D
