So I bought this E-mart brand lemonade a few days ago. I favor this one over the other brand (Sunkist or some such) since it's about 300 won cheaper. Well guess what?
I can't get the damn cap off!!
You could say I brought this calamity on myself since I've bought this brand a few times before and have had similar results. The first time I came across this, I grunted, sweated, and struggled with that cap for minutes at a time before throwing it back in the fridge to try again another day. Suddenly... one sunny afternoon... the cap came off like nothing. Like it was just another ordinary bottle of lemonade. Imagine my surprise and delight that I finally could accompany my sandwiches with a very cool glass of E-mart brand lemonade that I saved 300 won on.
Thinking that I could outsmart and even out-manpower a plastic bottle cap, I continued to purchase this product. Well here we are today, present day Korea, with another bottle of E-mart lemonade. It's practically screaming "Try me bitch!!" with those pictures of sliced lemon, ever taunting me. I have used a couple methods ranging from using a coarse cloth for friction along with banging the hell out of it on the counter, to just plain old-fashioned twisting-till-your-hands-burn. Some crying and pleading with god usually ensued afterward. But hey, it's only day 3. Maybe tomorrow, the lemonade's uppance shall come.
In other news, the yellow dust has taken the greater Incheon/Seoul region by storm, signaling another beginning to spring! Ah, nothing says spring like a national warning to close all windows and wear masks when outside. :D
