You might be getting older, but the reason that bottles and cans and so forth seem to be harder to open is that they ARE getting harder to open. The reason is physics.
Nope, the laws haven't changed, but what has changed is the manufacturing standards. Bottle mouths are now slightly narrower, which means you need more force to twist the caps... and so on.
Nice little article here that gets into the details (including an upcoming issue with attached cap tops that's hitting Europe right now.)
