Everybody just rips them off. Complete waste of time.
Whoever came up with that is a scumbag.
Now I go out of my way to tear them off and yeet the lid into the nearest river
Are you drinking soup straight from the carton?
I’m glad you posted this! I’m cursing water bottles daily as I splash water all over the place when the stuff misdirects itself with these things in the way. Some twist off but with others I need a flipping bread knife. (With increasing age, it’s hard to avoid believing in the evil nature of inanimate objects)
It’s a conspiracy to get us all hooked on straws so they can drop a massive straw tax in the next budget.
If you fold it all the way it’s much easier
I don’t mind the designs where they stick when in the fully open position, though on some I need to use a finger to hold it out of the way.
I really think cartons of soup, milk, etc. would be better served going back to the old style of opening by folding and pulling the top.
Just so stupidly awkward to drink from a bottle with lids hanging on
I’ve started seeing these on my two-litres, but never have any problem with them? Just fold it all the way back and it sort of clicks in place, or at least is out of the way enough to not get in the way of pouring?
They are not a waste of time. They are designed to keep the lid with the bottle to avoid your convenience of throwing it away. Some people have such closed minds and only think of their own 1st world problems. If you don’t like this the next 50 years is going to be a head-wrecker for you
This is on nearly all milk cartons and plastic bottles now. They are bloody annoying. I spilled a whole carton of milk the other day because the lid didn’t close properly because of that plastic yoke. It’s gets in the way when you’re trying to drink from the bottles. I think shit like this puts you off recycling. I have to admit I get so annoyed by this shit that I throw the stuff in the black bin instead of recycling as a way to protest/say fuck you to the system.
Well according to the greens this will save the planet.
just rip it off its not that hard
Makes having only one hand that bit more awkward. I just don’t understand the need for them. Were people who dutifully recycled the carton just flinging the lids in the street or something? I doubt it.
Love getting milk on my nose.
I just tear them off and fuck them away.
Why won’t they help us litter in peace??!
Up there with the worst of modern inventions used to be keen recycler now all this new initiatives im just fucking it in any bin now. This and the mush straws.
Tetra Pak: *lids attached to packaging to stop people from throwing them in nature like 10 year old*
Grown ass people: *pathetic screeching as they cannot handle packaging like a five year old*
I opened one literally as I read this
My lucozade is also the same now. I love taking 4 or 5 attempts trying to get the lid to sit right to tighten it…..
It’s less so the inconvenience of the cap whilst drinking, and more so the closing it back up. I don’t want to spend 10 seconds trying to put that shit back on and having it spill everywhere.
There’s no point to it. I’ve always kept the cap on the bottle so why the fuck do we need a child proof way of keeping it on? Such a weird decision.
