You don't "open" a bagel like a pop can, that's why they're ripping.
You "twist" it like a bottle, and it should split evenly 99% of the time.
The middle being connected is so you don't just have a bag of bagel halves.
I get that, but it’s executed poorly. If only 20-30% of the time they’re cut properly to do the twist move, it’s still a failure. I’d rather have a bag of disconnected bagel halves or have to cut them myself than the BS currently available in my local market.
I mean, I honestly can't remember buying bagels at the store and ever having one that isn't connected still.
Not that I eat a crazy amount of bagels tho.
You need a bagel stabber like this one Just insert bagel and stab, no more worries. Oh and buy real bakery bagels not grocery store ones.
