Same for me, many decades ago here in Seattle. Now, it's a different story. Just last week I bought the only pita breads in the store (Safeway) advertised on the label as being "pocket pitas." And my experience was much the same as yours, Darienne. Rather impossible to get them to open up without tearing them to shreds.
