    Perfectly obvious.

    Larger opening so more milk poured so more milk bought so more money to farmer so more guinness and cabbage farts.

    It might be great for people with arthritis or who have difficulty using their hands.

    OP you need to do two things.

    1) Go to the supermarket more often, those have been around for a long time.
    2) Find something more interesting to read about on your Thursday night.

    That's a fairly horrendous solidworks rendering for a finished product.

    Seen a screw cap on many of them type of cartons before.

    If it is only one screw to open then it would be less secure if only one thread is keeping it closed.

    Either you

    A) work for avonmore/a marketing company

    or

    B) get really really excited by advertising fluff.

    About 1/4 of a turn. Saves you time opening your milk in the morning. Think of the extra time in bed

    Ok, free to proceed with the marching band, Avonmore have moved into 21st Century.

    Can't see why they need a big marketing spiel to proclaim this, but hey thats why I don't work in Marketing.

    Avonmore already have screw caps, but these are different

    It's like trying to spot the difference with a hyperactive blind pup on this thread.

    I have aged and dodgy hands and I find those screw caps very difficult to remove, I have to get a tea-towel or something to give more grip.
