The new cola caps are blood irritating
Say wine, snacks or haute cuisine and the gourmands at online food magazine FavorFlav know where to drink, how to eat it and what to cook. This time our cheffies serve you: the new cola caps are bloody annoying.
It's a bit of a complaint session. I am always a big proponent of never change a winning team, even though I do understand that brands need to keep innovating. That's why I enthusiastically welcome new flavors, like the collaboration of Rosalia with Coca-Cola. Really fun. But dear people at Coca-Cola, could you please leave the current products alone?
They are really good as they are. And I mean the taste, but definitely also the packaging.
Your screw caps are now terrible
I missed the memo that Coca-Cola intentionally adjusted their caps, so with my new Cola Zero bottle, I was just pulling at that cap that wouldn't come off. A few days later, I read it online; Coca-Cola has adjusted the caps so that they no longer come off the bottle. Why?
So incredibly inconvenient because that cap isn't even on tight, so every time I pour, that thing turns down and I have to switch quickly because otherwise the cola goes e-ve-rywhere through that cap. But that's not very handy either, since I'm already holding the bottle with one hand. So now I'm clumsily pouring a simple glass of cola every time that I'm considering switching to cans or stopping with Cola Zero.
Unfortunately no good news
Why did Coca-Cola do this? To combat litter. Personally, I find it particularly rude not to throw your plastic bottle in the trash, but I also don't understand the mischief of doing it only with a cap; it's usually a combo deal that you throw away, right? Apparently not, and it gets worse: starting in 2024, it will be mandatory for all soft drink bottles to have this. The horror. Luckily, there's still plenty of time to practice...
