Not too much thought has gone into making these easy to open for people with arthritic hands. I am constantly having to ask my husband if he can open one of these for me as I find them too hard to open and often break the ring in trying.
Surely manufacturers can come up with something suitable for everyone to use?

Isn't our privldeged life great that we can complain about ringpull cans....be greatful that we have the wealth to buy such luxuries. Many people in the world have trouble getting the ecoli out of their drinking water.......they would love to have your problem.

PS if you have arthritis fizzy drinks are not so good for you as they contribute to the demineralisation of bone (increasing your fracture risk).........drink water.....add cordial if you want a sweet treat. Better for you and better for the environment
