I was at my mom's the other day trying to open a new medicine bottle. It was a new child-proof container, and possibly adult-proof too! There were no written instructions, just a graphic on the top. After a few minutes, and after considering smashing it open, I looked closely and figured out that it wanted me to squeeze the cap at the indicated ends, then (at the same time) twist counter-clockwise. Okay! I swore and then sighed in relief as the cap opened up.
And McDonald's has free coffee all this week until Sunday, around here anyway! They run this twice a year.
How I hate those bottles! They are also people with rheumatism proof, but my little grandson never had problems opening them....Valerie
ReplyDeleteThese bottle caps are hard for people with arthritis. Cute graphic.
ReplyDeleteHave to agree with those bottles and arthritic hands. Sometimes one of mine comes with a lid you have to push down. Lots of naughty words can be heard at times lol

I know exactly which bottles you're talking about, and they certainly are a pain to open. I hope that they at least are very child proof.
ReplyDeleteI hear you about the pill bottles, frustrating, not sure if free coffee is featured here in the North but my husband will be thrilled he has switched from Tim Horton's to McDonalds,
ReplyDeleteI don't think they have the coffee thing down here. Dennys actually does a free breakfast thing once a year, and you see massive lines to that place. A lot of trouble for a simple meal
ReplyDeleteAren't they awful?! Senior proof.... I've got some arthritis in my pinkies, its getting worse. Can you not ask for senior friendly bottles?! really.
ReplyDeleteCheers from Cottage Country Ontario , ON, Canada!
My pharmacy will do non child proof caps if you assure the pharmacist you have no small children in your home.
DeleteThey can certainly be complicated to open sometimes but it's for a good reason though. I wish the McDonald's here had free coffee this week!
ReplyDeleteI am telling you, my mom has some bottle that if we close it too tight, we will need a surgeon to open them..Now, we just left them half close..(No kids in the house though)
ReplyDeleteoh what a pain those bottles are!!!! Thank you for the kind words about the costume!!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree about those bottles. I wonder if it's true about McDonalds in Illinois too.
ReplyDeleteThe part about McDonald's rattled me a bit. We have a lady in our area who is suing McDonald's for millions due to being handed scalding coffee w/o the lid being secure. She received second degree burns on her leg. I don't think it was during a give-away though.
