You have reduced the size of the plastic cap on the box and this makes it hard to open at times. You are saving money by using less plastic to make the cap, but it also makes opening the container difficult. *I heard about this on TV and up until then, I thought I was losing strength in my hands. If you absolutely can’t go back to the slightly larger cap, just don’t have a cap at all. Not having a cap would save you even more money. In the past, when I couldn’t get the cap twisted off the first time, I’ve opened the container like we used to open the little half pints of milk in Elementary school. Open one end of the cardboard container. That still works. Thanks.

So, I go online, sign into my WalMart account and try to post feedback about this product. I get everything in correctly and then the form won’t let me keep the phone number I have entered. I have entered it correctly, checked it again and again, and the simple format should be XXX-XXX-XXXX with the first set of numbers being the Area Code. *Well, one site showed the above format for the telephone number but I finally found that you just enter the ten numbers without any hyphens or other special characters XXXXXXXXXX.

I have started transferring my Half-n-Half creamer to a glass bottle because I like the feel of the cold glass when I am pouring the creamer into my coffee or tea. I am reusing an Egg Nog bottle, that is shaped like the old glass milk bottles that the milkman, in the past, delivered milk to your home. But this bottle is slightly smaller, but still the same shape.

I just recalled that I have another example of how a money saving idea makes something almost useless. I bought a nail clipper at Dollar Tree a few months ago. When I first removed it from it’s plastic package, I thought it was great because it was small and I found I could attach it to my key ring. So, I would have my nail clipper with me wherever I went with my keys, and I would also have my “John Wayne.”

At least that is what I was told it was called by the Marines that had them in the field to open their K-Rations (dark green metal cans of food). A P38 Military Issue. I probably got the one I have more than 50 years ago, and mine is made of steel, not the aluminum version. But the nail clipper proved to be almost useless because it wasn’t the standard size that has been around probably since before I was born. This was smaller, and that reduction in size makes it difficult to use. It just doesn’t fit the hand.

This simple can opener works. I’ve had a problem with some metal cans in the last several years. It may be the strength of the metal in the can. My conventional can opener won’t “catch” and start cutting into the metal can, or it will cut part of the can top, stop working for a little and then start back. The result is a can that is almost open, but not open enough to remove the contents.

I just thought of a joke about John Wayne. Well, it was about the rough toilet paper that has little resemblance to the soft white textured paper in the bathrooms of many homes. They call it “John Wayne” toilet paper because “It’s rough, and tough and it doesn’t take crap off of anybody.”
