Lift'n'Peel?

[michaelboy]

I certainly am aware that I'm not nearly as physically strong as i was decades ago, but these newish pull-off tops are sometimes anything but easy to remove. Occasionally, they come off without too much trouble but mostly I have to resort to yanking them off with pliers hoping the tab doesn't separate from the top or even just stabbing them with a knife in order to pry them off.

Progress doesn't always feel that way.

Yes ...

The problem is poor leverage due to poor understanding of physics. With the handle sticking up from the middle rather than an edge, it's difficult to remove.

I almost always have to use a knife and just cut it off of the bottle. Also, hello. I've missed you.

So good to see you here!

I can't stand those kinds of seals. They inevitably FAIL to come off without a knife. As ysabethwordsmith pointed out, it is a matter of poor conception (probably coupled with crappy binders, either too weak where they need to be strong, or vice versa).
