She told me the bottle cut her finger and cap was on too tight for her to get it off. I didnt believe that she cut her hand on the bottle cap. Then i tried, it gave me a 1.5 inch cut that about .25inch deep real bad cut!!Cap was very tight and edges are sharp. Called the company they seemed vaery concerned. They even said someone was going to come get the bottle to inspect it. We will see!!! also had a bottle cap cut my girlfriend then myself.

Well, enough to google "Diet Coke bottle hard to open" after struggling to open one! What a bonehead design...who was the genius to design a cap with absolutely no grip whatsoever?

I got a response and a case has been opened for me. Granted, they said my complaint was "unusual" as many of you have been told. I did tell them that I would be switching to Pepsi until changes have been made. I can go either way, so switching isn't a big deal for me. I would really be interested to hear how many people will actually send a quick complaint to Coke regarding this issue (and how much business they have lost).

I'm near retirement and have cut my fingers trying to remove the d#@% thing. What's up with this changing in the good old USA but not in other countries. Just returned for Australia and they still had the old style caps??? I thinks I'll change brands to a brand that has a decent cap on it.

They really are much harder to open. And to those people saying it was done for the environment, give me a break. This was done to save probably less than $0.0001 per bottle. It's simply a (very petty) cost-cutting measure. If they were really concerned about the environment, they would switch back to glass bottles instead of using plastic. And I actually have been buying more Pepsi lately to avoid the new bottle caps. I’ve never actually cut my hands on the new bottle caps, but I still hate them. They really are much harder to open.

I have struggled with my daily diet coke addiction for over 20 yrs now.... I have tried to scale it down with no success many times... The new bottle cap did what common sense and willpower was unable to do, in less then one week. I quit drinking diet-coke entirely. The cap is way too small to grab on to, and do we need more hassles in the daily life? Or carry power tools for this reason? And for those who say this is great for the Green Earth, saving on plastics...should go after the over counter drug makers, who put 1/2 inch worth of aspirin in a 4 inch tall plastic bottle just to occupy a more prominent shelf space... Thank you Coca Cola....you just made many of us much healthier! I LOVE THE NEW BOTTLE CAPS….

With the old caps, I lined up the threads without trying. Maybe every 1 in 100 times would I have to try again. With these new ones, I'm only 50-50%. I thought I was just lame. I may still be, but I'm glad I'm not lame AND alone. As far as the cuts, I have no idea what you guys are talking about. Man up! Able-bodied adults having your friends help you open a plastic bottle?! Forshame. It’s all about screwing them back on for me. With the old caps, I lined up the threads without trying.

I could not find an e mail address to send in a complaint either. We should not need pliers to open a soda bottle! Man, I really miss the old 16 oz. glass bottles.

They are very hard to open and often the fizz has leaked out of the bottles before they are opened and a flat coke tastes terrible!! I have also noticed some bottles leak before they have been opened for the first time and make a mess. Please go back to the original design or I may have to start buying Pepsi.

The cap is awful and very hard to open. Just think if someone has carpal tunnel or arthritis! They will never get the cap off. My next complaint is that it doesn't fit in my fridge. I absolutely refuse to move my beverage shelf down another 1-2 inches and lose valuable space in my fridge because of them. It just barely fits in the fridge door, but I had to rearrange my fridge just for Coke. I tried to complain to coke - but I have yet to find any information on where to send a complaint via email. I like coke, better than pepsi, but I think I just switched brands. What's good about Pepsi is that they have Throwback and it has NO high fructose corn syrup and normal bottles!

One of the first times and tried to untwist my new coke cap, damn thing sliced my left index finger wide open with blood quickly surfacing. It took a week or so to heal. I kept that cap and now use it to slice plastic packages open and other things that I would typically use a knife or scissors for! I always twist my caps back on nice and tight.

For the longest time I been wondering why I had cuts on my fingers and on balm of my hand, the other day I fixed something to eat and as well poured my self a coke product to have with my food and while I was licking the food of my fingers I tasted blood in my mouth so I looked at my fingers and I noticed two deep cuts on my fingers and hands, but couldn't figuer out how they got there. So here again fixed something again to eat and poured myself a coke from a brand new bottle of coke and I was feeling this pain on my hand and I looked and saw where the cap of the coke bottle has peeled the skin of my hand and made it bleed. So now I know that the mysteriouse cuts are coming from does Damm Coke Bottle Caps. I wonder what it will take for them to get rid of horrible bottle caps. I guess somebody fingers or hands need to be so badly cut up or even worst damage and scar the little hands of children, before does money hungery #@$!&*$ gonna make does bottle save again. If somebody knows how to contact the coca cola company please let me know so that I can give them a piece of my mind about they new bottle caps. It's always the little men who has the pay the price of greedy slime pricks. If they are not going to change this proplem I'm done buying coke products.
