Default "One day, I'll meet the tw@t........."

An occasional series of rants from Alcazar

One day I'll meet the tw@t.......whoever decided to remove the flat base from plastic pop bottles, and substitute one, not only virtually hemispherical, but with ***** on, so that bottles won't stay upright, but fall over at the slightest touch, unless it's tightly packed with about ten others......and even then the fukcer is likely to knock the whole lot down

Why?????????

Have they TRIED carrying a load of pop into the house and standing it up in the kitchen to be put away? I mean, REALLY?????? Or standing bags in the car boot, only to find, on arrival, that, no matter HOW carefully you have driven, all the pop has been rolling around in the boot and is fizzed up to hell and back

B@stards.

Oh, dear!

TBH I agree with you on that, although we very occasionally buy fizzy drinks.

My complaint is with fish packs where the designated corner to open up the pack is often useless! You have to either use the scissors to cut the corner, but if you can't find scissors, you have to dig in a knife to puncture the pack; in order to get to the fish. That gets my goat bleating.

Alcazar, stop moaning and just put up with those pop bottles with awkward bases! You can always stick them in the pockets on the back of your car seats, to keep them upright. And I can just keep digging the knife to pierce the fish pack, or buy some kitchen scissors. Simple.

You shouldn't be drinking fizzy pop at your age.

I think plastic bottles and cans are now at their design threshold, the nobbled bits on the bottom are to keep it form collapsing when you pour, love to give him a flat bottom bottle with the same gauge plastic that would bring on a proper moan. .
