Costco Diet Green Tea With Citrus - Horrible packaging

Yeah - I'm going to tell Costco too - but I felt like typing - I mean ranting - here also.

I've now stained a couple of shirts and spilled in my new car because of the horrible combination of thin plastic and super-full bottles.  Now both of those things are actually awesome - I'm all in favor of saving plastic and I'm all in favor of providing as much product as possible - but this combination in this particular product has made it very difficult.  They're so full that when you hold the bottle tighly enough to get the top off, you have to squeeze it, which means that when you finally break the seal it comes dripping out over everything. 

Now I suppose Costco could provide some sort of jig that could be used to hold the bottle while unscrewing the top so that it provided even pressure all around it and didn't leak - but it seems easier to just do one of the following:

  1. Costco could make the bottle stronger
  2. Costco could not fill it so full
  3. I could start buying another brand of Iced Tea.
I know - it's all minor - but it was a new car - and I really hate doing laundry.
