    		As per Band-Aid.


    In 1940 the Tear String design was added to make opening the wrapper easier. In 1993 the red Tear String was changed to pull - down wrapper.

    		Wow, thank you! I knew they'd changed the red string, but I thought it was in the last couple of years.
    How time flys when you don't have many "owies"!
