Packages ARE getting harder to open (it's physics, folks!)
#4
Yes, here in Europe we now have bottle caps that must stay tethered to the collar. Some fold back and with an audible click, stay in a horizontal position.

Cheaper products are problematic; they hang loose and spin around to block the drinking procedure or they just want to spring back to cover the bottle's mouth, making draining your drink directly from the bottle quite difficult, especially when drinking one-handed.

My solution is to rip the sucker off... problem solved. Actually, it's quite therapeutic. 

Instead, to overcome the other problem of actually opening the damn things, especially the smaller caps, I grip the cap and twist the bottle... more leverage.

However, my iron grip isn't what it used to be, so even glass jars with large diameter lids are sometimes a problem. Solution, whack around the edge of the lid with the back of a knife... When the anti-tamper button pops up, it's good to go and open sesame.
