It even had this strange pull tab that was almost like pulling the pin on

a grenade. It was a metal cap surrounding the lid, kinda like an older glass "Snapple" bottle, but you pulled the tab and it peeled the middle of the top at an angle and then as you reached the other side it slid off the whole thing.
