I just received my tote bag from Pepsi today and sat around for a little while figuring out what to do about the opening that everybody is complaining about. Then a idea popped into my head. So hear it goes.  I bought some whopper snaps from the store (any Craft or Wal-Mart Stores) and sewed them in around the top part where the double thickness and handle is attached. I only used 3 whopper snaps on mine one in the center(between the straps) and one at each end (2 inch) before the side seams are. If you can sew a button on you can sew these snaps on in place where you want them. If you are real careful you can sew the snaps on without showing the threads threw the front. Problem is solved. How about that. I just thought that you should know about this and try to fix the problem yourself. Otherwise I will use my tote bag for just about everything now. For only 50 points. Way to go Pepsi. You should look into my idea Pepsi.
