Silk cap improved

Do you drink Silk Soymilk? If so, you may have noticed — how could you not? — that the cap is extremely difficult to remove on first use. I’ve sometimes used pliers.

The cap has now been improved. It’s larger and turns easily on first use. And the sharp, narrowly spaced ridges have been replaced by larger rounded ridges. The cap is now less like a half-inch-thick coin, more like a knob.

[The Silk website says soymilk, but the carton says soy. I suspect that’s a defensive move given legislative efforts to restrict the use of the word milk to dairy products.]

drink almond or oat, but yeah, some caps are HARD to turn. Bad design. Glad it's improved!

And I did some searching to verify that it’s Not Me — it was the damn cap.

Soon the milk of human kindness will be illegal?

Hmm — humans lactate, so maybe it’ll be okay. I believe Wisconsin is the big player in all of it, as it was in battles about the color of margarine.
