Has anyone else seen these new style of caps?
I just got one this morning, in Ohio.

 

[Modeps]

They've been around here for quite some time. I don't like them... they're too small for my gorilla hands.

 

[Anubis]

yea they have been out for a while, and i dont like them

When was the last time you bought a coke? These caps are nothing new.

 

[Safeway]

Less plastic.

 

[clamum]

I haven't seen one yet. Last time I bought a Coke was probably a few weeks ago.

EDIT: In Upper Peninsula of MI.

Had them here for a few months.. kinda small and slippery.

I like the old ones better, but if we did things my way, we would still be using glass.

 

[Injury]

I only like them if they can be opened easier after someone tightens them semi-tight then puts it back in the fridge for a few hours.

10% less plastic each x 10^400 bottles per year = $$!

 

[mcvickj]

They arrived in West Michigan about two weeks ago.

Haven't seen... I miss the glass ones... I can still find them at Mexican stores with real sugar

Not in Wisconsin yet. As far as i know, I dont drink soda so I could be wrong.

After 327 years, they have changed

coke was invented in 1885 not 1681

 

[Linflas]

Not nearly as radical a change as when they moved from cork sealers in the metal tops to plastic sealers.

nope, it was 1681

I have a hard time believing anything anyone posts today.

 

[Electric Amish]

I've seen them both in Utah and Pennsylvania for awhile now.

thought it was referring to the big red plastic cap being 300+ years old

 

[aphex]

never seen them in Florida... Maybe we get the q-tip friendly design?

Go buy one today. I am in Columbus.

Almost every region and major city has their own bottling company.
It probably just takes a while to get changes rolled out completely.

 

[Mo0o]

They've been around for a while now haven't they? At least a year...

IDK about that, first time i saw them in NY was about 2 months ago

 

[ObiDon]

i'm not sure how long they've been here in portland because i haven't been buying as much out of the machine at work lately, but i'd guess it's been at least six months.

they're kind of annoying. they don't thread back on as easily as the old caps.
