And nowadays most everything is tamper proof, very few people would
use those products otherwise, they'd pour out the contents and maybe
save the bottle. Those bottles are purchased by the case, they come
with the tamper proof caps UNattached... once they are screwed on the
seal locks onto the raised ridge molded into the glass, it's a one way
thingie, the seal breaks when the cap is unscrewed... anyone who
actually looks at the tamper proof caps it becomes very obvious how
they work... any simpleton who can button their own coat should be
able to figure it out... got some REAL moroons at rfc.
