I picked up four tonight. The edges of the cap are poking through the wax on all four of them. I flipped the cap off in about five seconds.
Yay?

the edge definately weren't poking through on the bottle I had. My cap actually broke (and I even think I called Jordon a big baby!)
The cap you had sounds like the ones on those Jack Daniels Tempest bottles. reasonable. Small amount of wax.

No - I had a first run bottle a while a go and the wax, while thick, is pretty brittle and easy to get off the bottle. The drips practically fall off.Belgian wrote:Wow the one on the right is some waxy motherf*cker!chris_schryer wrote:Here's the edited video, with commentary:.

Yeah, I was in the Avenue and Lawrence store today and the bottles they have now are very different from the original ones I picked up a couple of weeks ago at Laird. The edges of the cap actually poke through the wax, as you say, and it would be perfectly easy to pop these open, presumably. Maybe they accidentally overdid it with the wax on the first run because they were quite different.Kekumba wrote:I picked up four tonight.

Although there is still a chance of danger if using the Sabrage method. Little flying pointy bits of waxy terror - maybe this, too needs a short documentary to avoid tragedy...JeffPorter wrote:No - I had a first run bottle a while a go and the wax, while thick, is pretty brittle and easy to get off the bottle.
