Just repeating my comment from the same topic a while back.

So okay the bottle ones like this are fine

It is these fuckers I have an issue with

I swear if I ever see the person who designed the new milk cap I will make them choke on a fucking tetrapak.

Normally/averagely abled people - how is any configuration of the cap an issue?

To even think about it takes more energy than any obvious solution (like holding the bonded cap whilst drinking or not ripping it off the seal ring in the non-bonded versions).

Is it just because we are old and any change is annoying af?

I pick up street litter, and having picked up thousands of pounds, I have never felt that loose caps are a problem, let alone one that requires such a solution. The number of littered bottles, with or without a cap, is greater than the number of loose caps, and the amount of plastic in every bottle dwarfs the plastic in a cap. Fixing the cap to the bottle will do nothing to improve the recycling rate of plastic if entire bottles are already tossed anyway.

I consider the idea of cap tethers as adversarial memetic warfare thrust upon us for some unknown ulterior purpose, possibly to make us hate the very idea of environmental consciousness. Same as paper straws. I like plastic bag bans though.

As far as picking litter is concerned, I personally prefer finding bottles without a cap. At least those are empty, all liquid having evaporated after the bottle has spent several months in the bushes. The capped bottles are often half-full and are just nasty. (Who even pays for a bottle of drink and not drinks half of it anyway?)

I don't mind them on soda, but during yoghurt is a mess. I have a beard and after drinking one of those I 8/10 times have a milky beard

Am I the only person who's literally never seen such a thing exist in the wild

I honestly like them. Those that "stay open", of course... They just stay out of the way, never get lost, and works pretty nice.

At first I disliked them, but quickly found out they are actually... Very practical. Even not considering the "green" twist, why didn't we adopted them before?

Naww look at the little lid trying to flip that bottle over, so cute.

This is some very short sighted thinking.

Caps attached to the bottles is very important to the recycling industry, so they can be more cheaply and efficiently shipped to China and thrown into the sea.

This is one of the dumbest things I've seen. What even is the point? This is just so dumb. Maybe you could break off the cap?

If you are worried about environmental impact ts they could just make them out of aluminum. We already have aluminum cans. Adding more plastic to the bottle will just create more waste.

They should make it so the cap doesn't come off at all, so you have to buy a glass bottle with a metal cap that are both recyclable and won't give you erectile disfunction.

The bottle cap folds out of the way. If you have it "in your face", it sounds like a skill issue

Im sitting here in Canada just learning these exist in the first place.

what i think when people struggle with the cap hitting their face

Perhaps becuase you've only opened it half way, you need to lift it back over again and clip in under the rim.

Fuck plastic bottles in general, back to glass.

Old man yells at cloud energy

my dad is disabled. had a stroke, shaky hands & stuff forever. he fuken h8's these new caps. i personally don't care much, unless i'm drinking yoghurt out of a bottle.
