I'm sick 'n' tired of cutesy spelling

What on earth is wrong with the word 'and' or a simple ampersand? And what the h does 'n' mean? It's not in my OED.

Ironic packaging

This isn't strictly speaking a language issue, but the packaging was so ironic I had to share.

I'm sure the cutters are good for those tough-to-open packages (and for pruning rosebushes, by the looks of them) but how are you supposed to open the package to get them out?
