"text": "Bought a bottle of Moonshine espresso at a Calgary liquor store and although the contents were great the cap on the bottle was a complete fail. It is so thin and when I tried to open the bottle the safety seal would not let go and it just turned and turned. I had to get out side cutters to remove the cap and got a slight cut for my efforts. when I tried to screw the cap back on it just turned and would not seal as it was too flimsy. I really like this product but will not buy again if I can't re-seal it when I am done for the night",
