Pepsi Cola Complaint - New bottle caps - Pepsi Products

Pepsi Products - Complaint
Review by cjenn on 2010-01-04
Will you please go back to the old bottle caps. When I but a 20oz Pepsi or Pepsi product I cannot get the cap off without hurting my hands and many times asking for help. Why would you use such inefficient caps.

switch to canned soda?

the tightness of the cap is to keep the product fresh.

Maybe the cap is the same and your hands are getting weak...

mad, I don't like to buy Pepsi in cans. We have a 10-cent deposit on carbonated beverage bottles and cans in my state, thus I don't just toss them when empty. To avoid a collection of ants and other critters in my apartment, I like that screw-top bottle which can be completely closed while I collect them for the return of that dime per bottle.

This was also covered at:

Until they've made a correction, I think we're in for a lot of hard to open bottles.

only for cans?

here in ny the deposit tax is 5 cents but it's on ANYTHING that's carbonated & in a recyclable container. glass, metal, plastic...

oh and i think they followed through on the tax for non-diet sodas too :-(

Pepper, if the 'only for cans?' comment was directed toward what I posted, I (possibly mistakenly) ass/u/me bottles and cans would cover all containers, no matter their composition. No?
Posted by PepperElf on 2010-01-04:
yes. oh. i didn't see the "bottles" part. my bad. =)

Seems pepsi does have a problem, judging from the complaints that have been posted about the "new" tops.
A reply from them would be useful.

Superfluous??? Changing brands will eventually take notice. BTW--they are not loyal to you...effect change!

I had to cut the top off one today and routinely have to use pliers to lososen the cap. No más.
