My manicurist asked me the other day what I did to my finger. I said it was from a Coke bottle but I think she thought I was joking.

Ive cut the palm of my hand open two times already.Once on a 20 ounce and once on a 2 liter. The cuts were deep enough to bring blood. This hoopla about them using less plastic and being better for the enviroment is pure nonsense. Think of the resources it took to redesign the caps and update the machinery that make the caps.

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.

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.
