why not make a full blown lever while you’re at it.

It’s kind of a waste of plastic isn’t it?

Who has trouble opening these anyway?
And it does seem like a waste of plastic.

Useful for someone with arthritis maybe?

100% agree – give trouble to one handed person I think

There’re a lot of people creating problems where there are none… ah marketing. Same thing happened with deodorant, except that caught on.

We like the idea of making something that already exist better. And this… is better.

Probably not an issue for too many coke bottles (tend to be easily opened?), but could be applied elsewhere, maybe ?

If you can open it one handed it would be too easy to knock open in transit, one shaken bottle opened in a van could foul hundreds. Imagine it landing on the lever when coming out of a vending machine, too. Even in a packed bag there would be the risk of it being opened just enough to leak all over everything else you were carrying…
Sweet idea but probably not for mass production – maybe an after market item you could slip over the top of a current lid (they have deep grooves now, in the UK at least, which could take a cog design)

you’d be better off making a tool this shape to slot over each bottle as and when you need it so that people that need it can buy it and use it and the plastic isn’t wasted on the majority that do not need it.

@enav REDUCE first, then reuse, THEN recycle, then recover.

I think its when the bottle has to be re-opened after closing that causes the problem! I know this happens to me alot..

Now there’s even less bothersome work between you and diabetes.

kinda like it, you can open it while driving or doing something else with your other hand (and i don’t mean jerking…)

Like Coco said, the problem is mostly after opening it the first time (imo).
So it would be nice if they sold this separately, then we can use this to re-cap it. It save some plastic (:

Why only coca cola? why not others?

To those of you who are wondering who would use it. I suffered a severe arm injury which has effectively left me with the use of one arm only for the last two years. People underestimate how hard it is to do even simple, mundane everyday jobs take for instance washing your hand, how are you meant to wash the back of your hand when you ony have one hand? Or making a sandwhich, how can you when you have no free hand to hold the bread still while you make it. Even if we are the minority the fact is this would still be amazingly useful to people who appreciate it.
