Skinny Caps

Back in November 2024, I blogged about the skinnier cap on cartoons of Half-n-half, which measures in at 3/8" high, and how I had to use pliers to get it open.  Ice Mountain has taken that to new lows with a cap that measures only 1/4-inch high, as you can see in the image below.  Activists pressure companies to reduce their "environmental impact," apparently with no regard for what is good for the consumer.  I, for one, will be looking very closely at cap heights when buying in the future.  

More on "wrap rage" from USA Today at the link below, including the next bad design idea, "Tethered caps".
