I know they’re supposed to be good for the environment but… God I hate those caps.

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?

Maybe your bottles are different, but the bottles here in Germany have a very short “leash” and are often connected to the right in two places, so it constantly pushes in your face when drinking.

If an actual problem would have been solved, I’d be fine with it, but it’s just a pointless law which only exists to create the illusion of progress and shift blame onto consumers.

Rotate the bottle 90 degrees so the cap goes to the side of your face rather than mashing it into your nose.

…then it scratches my cheek.

Why is it so hard to understand that a useless piece of plastic in your face might be unpopular?

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.
