I am never buying Tropicana in NL again. I usually buy the Albert Heijn brand, but they were out, so I settled for Tropicana... and I just spent almost ten minutes trying to get the top off. Mom can attest to this - that when *I* have trouble getting a top off of something, then it's a job for a wrestler. We don't have one of those cute little rubber things that you can use for leverage, so I used a towel, my shirt, a garbage bag... nothing worked. Finally in desperation I took a knife and performed surgery - cut the top away from that ring-thing holding it on, expecting that it would then twist off easily. Not so. The @#$%^& thing is STILL stuck. Luckily it was one of those wax-cardboard cartons so I just opened up one of the 'corners' the way you do in school when you have those little cartons of milk. That was a struggle in itself because of the stupid orange top sticking off the side, but I managed. So then I took my first triumphant slug, and it's full of pulp. I hate pulp. So now I'm sitting here eating cereal and gagging down thickened slurps from the torn corner of an orange juice carton... whose plastic orange cap is still mockingly glued to the top.
