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

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

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

Am i the only person that likes the new caps? They prevent me from dropping them

Like them too. Felt odd when I got one the first time, but now I just don’t mind it. The cap doesn’t get in the way, and it’s easy to put back on

They are really well designed too. They lock into place when flipped 180 degrees (drinking mode) and don’t interfere at all while drinking.

Yes I hate them as well, they always get in the way and putting the cap back on is super annoying.

However, since these bottles were introduced data has shown they work. Bottle caps were one of the most found items in trash picked up from the streets. The number of bottle caps has gone way down since these were introduced.

So I’ve accepted them. Can’t argue with data. I’ve never returned a bottle without a cap in my life. I’ve never thrown away a cap separate from the bottle. But turns out the world is full of psychopaths who throw the cap in the street. Probably the same kind of person who throws their trash by the side of the road from their car. Fuck those people.

Can you link the source of the data? I wondered, if this actually helps at all.

If the manufacturers would not use the cheapest caps with the least amount of flimsiest material available for this application, they could even be usable…
