Furious Coca-Cola fans left with 'flat Coke' after 'horrible' update

Coca-Cola fans have voiced their frustrations over a change to the design of their bottle lids. Last year the company announced plans to introduce a new cap for plastic bottles of Coke, Coke Zero, Diet Coke, Fanta, Sprite Dr Pepper and Lilt.

The new 'attached' caps are designed to remain on the bottle after being opened to help prevent litter and make the bottle more recyclable.
