Bird's Custard Powder

Bird's Custard Powder has been on the market seemingly forever, and I have always used it. In the days when it was packed in a strong cardboard tub with a metal lid it was easy to open. Nowadays, though, it has a plastic lid. When you pull it off the contents spills out as you struggle with the flexible tub. The lid fits inside the tub and has to be so carefully pulled out to avoid having the powder sucked out in the effort. And you still get some powder spilling out. I would like the tub to be made stronger and the lid easier to remove.

With the plastic lids and the flexible tubs causing this problem I have to transfer the powder into another air-tight container. I should not have to do this.

I think people should be aware that they could easily spill the powder each time they open the tub. I have written to the manufacturer, and of course, they do not wish to alter the packaging. This review is to warn the buyer of the problem that I have encountered.
