I switched to screw-top bottles. However, I only buy non-sugared products (mainly flavored fizzy water), so there is little there to attract bugs anyway. I find the 1-liter stays fizzy long enough, but the
2-liter ones go flat before I can finish them.Now if you are talking pop-top food cans, it is different. Gotta wash those, or keep them in a sealed bag till drop-off day.
I usually turn the can upside down. Give it a hard spray with the sprayer nozzle from the sink. That gets most of the remaining food.
No but they do say CA CHV MI REFUND 10 cents MA-NY-OR-ME-VT-HI-CT-DE-IA 5 cents
and I assumed you were redeeming them in NY for the nickel. Are you saying the ones sold in NJ do not say this?
Read the replies with interest.
Not a problem in my life, as I do not drink pop of any kind, especially not cokes.

I am violently against these "soft drinks", especially for young girls and women. They drink this awful sugared chemical stuff by the gallon instead of milk. Result: There is now an epidemic of premature osteoporosis and its forerunner, osteopenia. Fractures, fractures; hip replacements, etc.
While these young females are supposed to be building strong bones, getting their bodies ready for reproduction -- should they choose to have children -- instead they are ingesting this "poison" that has the opposite effect. Where do they get the taste for cokes? Why, from their parents and grandparents -- the very ones who are agonizing about how to empty pop-up cans. Who in turn got their taste from TV ads. What happened to critical thinking? What happened to self- preservation? What happened to common sense? What's wrong with water or green tea?

Write all of your politicians and demand that a law be passed compelling all soft drink manufacturers to fortify their products with calcium. A government program should be developed to make sure that everything a young woman puts in her mouth be rich in calcium. 8-)

You're pushing more Nanny State?
How about parents taking responsibility for teaching their children? Remember that ancient concept?
I worked, so was not home when my son returned from school. Early on, I taught him to analyze what the TV commercials were trying to do to his head. IT WORKED! I remember one evening, we were watching TV and he commented "they want me to buy/do X". I don't remember the details, but I do remember being vastly exhilarated that he GOT IT. Throughout his life he has continued to look behind the front and figure out what "they" really want.
BTW: Cokes -- soft drinks -- must be an acquired taste. To me they taste like medicine. And the idea of actually ingesting that stuff is an insult to the food that they accompany. Unless you're into fast food, where it doesn't really matter.

Darn, for a hypothetical massive scalar elementary particle you should be bright enough to understand that I was being fecesious[sic]. Never believe anything I write unless you know it to be true or you have researched it for yourself. *snicker*
PS: Watch out for those atomic particle collisions. 8-)

Duhhhh ... what a concept. You think it might work?
Hey, when we were growing up, my parents *never* had any soft drinks in the house. *Ever*. (No TV either, until I was in my teens.) So we just didn't drink it (drank it at friends' houses, but that was it).

But calcium stiffens things....oh!

Oops, my ideology coke-wise ran away with me; sorry I didn't grok your facetious-ness.
Yep, they're tryin' to ketch me, over there in Switzerland, but don't worry, they'll never get ME into one of those cloud chambers!

Heck, it would be a good excuse for a vacation. You could brag about traveling around a couple of European countries at near the speed of light. You can tell folks you flew on LHC Airlines and they keep it real cold on their flights. 8-)

An icepick through the hole and out the side seems the best solution but if you take a close look at the design, it's bound to trap water in the neck and even the icepick seems incomplete.
No spindles here for the same reason. You might notice that modern day "paper spikes" have a guard over the tip - you have to feed the paper under the guard and then push down. There are enough fall hazards in the average house. Upward facing spikes? Nyetsky.

Sounds like a version of "I wouldn't trust that guy with a burned out match!"
