Agh?! And a Happy X-mas to You Too or How to Remove Security Tags from Last Minute X-mas Purchasess

December 23rd, 2006

A simple solution to a X-mas headache. A little tip and last minute solution to you from the Aap!Global Team.

After spending a few hours in lines, trekking through malls, and finding last minute gifts I returned to my apartment to find a security tag left on my grandfather’s sweater. I know what you are thinking but no I didn’t steal the sweater - the busy and inattentive sales girl missed the security tag. Worried about exploding ink, and without the time to return to the store - I gathered my wits and found that the security tag is actually pretty easy to remove. To speed up your search for a solution i’ve taken the liberty to share the solution with you.

Tools required - two pliers and a little bit of force.

Step 1. Get you Pliers Ready!

Step 2. Clip the ends of each plier in little indentations on the tag - opposite the pin locked side.

Step 3. Move the end plier holding the indentation in a rainbow arc to the direction of the other plier. The locking pin will release and you’ll have access your garment!

Step 4. Relax.

Okay we know this has nothing to do with advertising, alternative media, nor much else anything but we thought it would be a useful and fun tip to share with readers.

But if you are still looking for X-mas gifts - we recommend the following for some last minute fun gifts for friends and family from the folks at Pingmag.

Happy Holidays!!!
