Can someone explain the trick to opening the string of a sack of flour? The right way just takes one yank. The wrong way and you'll be working out the tangle with a scissors for 20 minutes.

I just cut the bag open.
Most likely, you're starting at the wrong end! (Not that it's marked or anything...) I gently pull one loose end; if it doesn't start to unstitch, I switch to the other end of the seam. By the way, if you don't want to open it all the way (I wa using 25 pound sacks), you can pull out the chain stitch as far as you want, then thread the loose end back through the last un-pulled loop; pull tight, and cut off all but an inch or so.

Too many torn bags to count.
