Another symbolic act so that they can pretend they did something for the environment and don't have to actually tackle the major problems which could cut into profits of big companies.

Also anyone got fucked over by the bottle cap spinning in the way of the pour spilling drink all over the table?

Yeah like the paper straws through a plastic lid. The part that gets chewed and wet with digestive enzymes is some limp paper yet the simple lid can be as plastic as they want.

paper lollypop sticks but the whole lollypop is wrapped in a fuck ton of plastic

No but I've had the "pull the cap away not realising it's attached and pull the bottle of milk out of my hand, sending it crashing to the floor" thing, that was fun

That's a genius move as well. Nicely done.

I literally made a video for my friends of that

sorry if it's a google photo link

I don’t even understand what the theory is. Plastic is plastic. What does it matter if it’s attached to the bottle?

You have to twist It so It stays in place

This right here..

And actually, it wouldn't surprise me if the extra spillage caused by this change (for me it's the new attached caps on tetra packs, like on plant milk) is by design, just another way to get us to buy more product more often because 20% of it now ends up on the counter..

At this point you are just incompetent at pouring in a drink

It's a very easy change to make, yes the impact is small but why not take the easy stuff first? It's not like the EU isn't doing hard stuff as well (right to repair laws or gdpr anyone?)
