wow. i really couldn't have said it better myself...
"... it's become apparent that Coke has crossed a line.
The other day, i ventured down into SUB Mart to quench my thirst with a delicious, refreshing bottle of Barq's-brand Root Beer. It really has bite, you know. Much to my dismay, however, something had gone awry. As my fingertips massaged the little plastic cap in a counter-clockwise twist, i discovered the source of the trouble: Coca-Cola has changed their bottle caps.
Have you seen this shit? The tall, proud caps from days of yore are no more! The friction-friendly ribbed surfaces have been replaced by a pale imitation of their former selves, pathetic, stubby caps that my manly digits [this, i would have to disagree with... my fingers are quite feminine, thank you very much] can't hope to tackle. How does Coke even hope for me to get at the sweet, succulent elixir encased within its tapered crystal temple when I can't even get the goddamned lid off?
Mark my words, Cola-boys. You've made yourselves a powerful enemy today. Were i able to chooses Mug Root Beer on campus, i now would, but consider my switching from bottles to cans a message: my corporate beverage desires are not to be trifled with" - Mike Kendrick
