Look What I Bought!
Wednesday, June 9, 2010
Ok I will admit it … Sommmetimmmes (ok always) I impulse buy, yap I’m a sucker, at Walgreens. So I’m standing at the check out and I see this …
Oh this would be great for my Mom & Dad! So I grab not ONE, but TWO of them, a blue and a greenish yellow one. Why you ask … because my Mom puts plastic wrap on open cans of soda. “It really works”, she tells me! I just know this can make their life easier! I just know they can use this! They are going to love this!
I can’t wait to get home and try them out, I only live about 2 tenths of a mile from Walgreens, but I can’t wait, what an awesome find!
Ok here I go, this is going to work out so great for my Mom & Dad, I can’t wait to tell them! I pushing and shoving… maybe if I get a hammer or soak it in hot water… I can’t get the *&@#$% thing on the can. Maybe it’s defective, Ok I’ll try the blue one. NOPE! I can’t get it on the can either. Hmmmmmmm, if I can’t get it on the can do you think Mom or Dad can??? I’ll try the green one again. Success! I got it on!
Oh shoot, I forgot to open the soda first, oh well I’ll just take it off. Pulling and pushing and smacking it on the edge of the counter, good thing I didn’t open it!
So I get the magnifying glass out and on the side it says “Squeeze can to remove”, I’m squeezing, and squeezing and squeezing! Oh, hubby just walked in “Honey can you get this off”? He’s squeezing, and squeezing and squeezing! Yippee he got it off, but I am not kidding, he almost had to break out the tools.
That was the blue one, the greenish yellow one I actually had to cut it off. Why did I even bother I was going to throw the can in the recycle bin when I finished it. Oh that’s right you can’t mix plastic and cans together.
Operation make Mom & Dad’s life easier … FAILURE! Impulse buying at Walgreens, still in full force! LOL!

I have a snapp capp (or pop top or whatever it's called) and I LOVE it! I've had it for a couple years and use it ALL the time. But, yes, you have to open the pop first before putting it on. And it's not so bad to take it off if the can is empty. It helps to squeeze the can and pull the cap to the side, rather than to the side, if that makes sense. Also? While sneaking pop into the movie theatre might seem like a good idea? They will leak a little bit. But only when upsdie down... in a purse. Oops. ;)
