I agree with the mission of this new cap, but my thoughts were this: Coca Cola, PepsiCo, these brands are... so inhumanly big, their budgets are SO extremely deep and large. And this cap? This cap is the best they could come up with? There is not a grain of my being that can believe that. What I do know about these corporations, is that they hate working together to reduce waste. Anytime a bottle deposit system is expanded they basically stamp the floor angrily until the law forces them to adapt or get out, at which point they use the new hated rules in their marketing as if the planet was all they were thinking about all along. Right..

This cap is essentially psychological warfare against the consumer, to form negative thoughts about being responsible with plastic waste. It's purpose is to make you angry about the new rule, while still adhering to it.

Fuck you big food products inc, I hope we introduce a deposit system on fucking everything so you can all sit in the boardroom and cry about it.

Are u OK? How is it meant to make the consumer think they are responsible?

This is why I'm glad I live in the US

Edit: this was mostly a joke. I think some of you took this personally

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yes because if you had tethered bottle caps that would be your biggest issue.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I can choose to have tethered bottle caps or untethered bottle caps. Can you say the same?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 months ago

Man we don't even have healthcare or widespread public transit. Abortion isn't even legal everywhere anymore.

Our country is rapidly falling apart before our eyes. Just stop man.

I don't get it.

It stays open, you can drink from it, you can pour from it, you can pour into it.

What action does the cap staying attached prevent, warranting its detachment?

I'm seriously asking. I don't get it. What inconvenience?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It gets in the way of everything all the time

That said, i have seen good and bad examples of this.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

No it doesn't? I buy a bottle of something every day, these have never been trouble. Not once.

The first time I noticed it I thought, "neat" and that's it.

How does it get in the way? You open it and it stays there. Out of the way of anything you might use a bottle for.

Are there different ones? Because I've only ever seen the one, and it's the same one everyone hates on in pictures and videos online. Yet people say there are good ones and bad ones?

I don't get it.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I seriously don't understand how people have problems with these, they're absolutely fine. Not hard to use, doesn't get in the way and you'll never lose them. And if all else fails you can just pull them off, not hard either. You gotta be dumb as fuck to have problems with them.

As with anything else, I'm absolutely certain this is the classic "something changed so I'm going to be mad about it and make up a bunch of reasons why it's bad" thing that happens to every little change anywhere. And what is some tiny inconvenience compared to lessening plastic waste, helping the environment and hurting less living beings? Stop being such spoiled little shits and pull your heads out of your asses.

There definitely is an element of people just not liking it because it's new, but there's also an element of not getting any say in it whatsoever.
Also, they really do get in the way. They make it harder to get a good seal between your mouth and the bottle at any angle, and at the top they hit your nose. They are slightly harder to use, especially if you're using one hand for any reason, including if you only have one hand. Removing them without tools results in a sharp bit of plastic which pokes and irritates your skin.
Finally, this is another patronising effort which makes consumers lives more difficult (by whatever amount) while not doing enough to combat plastic waste.

just use it as intended instead of trying to rip it off
