Can always rag it off, but you’ll end up with a lip injury.
Almost as much as getting a couple of moustache hairs stuck in a non removable ringpull on a can?
It is mental anyone can be pissed off by a simple design change which will decrease litter and increase the amount of plastic that’s recycled.
No evidence for this, but Jamie Oliver had something to do with it.
I’m not bothered by these and don’t really understand the bother
You’re a big boy. I’m sure you’ll figure it out.
Quality post here mate
I live in the states and am able to find Irn Bru at a local shop and recently (like the last year) all the caps have been like this and I assumed it was a UK thing, like ALL sodas had these frustrating caps hahah 🙂
Fuckin grow up
Wanted to like these because “the environment”, but the lid pushes me in the face every time
Just snap part of it off, 1 part snaps easily off. Once that 1 part snaps, it’s actually really handy! No issues with them!
It’s a little annoying, but the benefits outweigh the pain.
I wear glasses and I only managed to read the “I’m attached just to annoy the feck out of you” message on the lid a couple of weeks back. I’ve been struggling to get caps off ever since they started doing this not realising this was ‘progress’.
I wouldn’t mind if you could seal the bottle properly first time without having to un-crossthread it multiple times. Had bottles go flat due to cross-threading which seems to be the default.
I am mostly chopping the little so and so’s off now.
OP /u/Potential-Narwhal- has my sympathies.
Yeap 🙌 unless putting it back on with the precision of a surgeon doing a triple bypass whilst needing a shit this thing leaks and will go flat.
Its twat caps, get in the way, make it harder to drink and don’t close properly, I had one savage my nose last week.
Unscrew it a bit to help the thread line up correctly before you screw it tight. Easy habit to get into and helps regardless of whether the cap is attached or not.
Humanity perfected the amphora 7000 years ago and our faces went unmolested until these things came along
The thing that annoys me about them is they are much more difficult to seal tightly than the old ones, and they end up leaking.
Don’t mind these but I’ll die on the paper straw hill.
I like it. I no longer lose my bottle caps under the seat when I’m drinking juice in the car.
Twist and pull, twist and pull.
Yes, it is mental, that this pisses you off.
To be fair, while I agree they’re annoying to drunk from, they have reduced “fuck dropped the lid (and lost it/dropped it in something gross) incidents to zero.
I’d rather they just stopped using plastic and went back to cans and glass bottles only. Bring back the 20p return on the glass bottles so kids can harvest the glass cheques from building sites.
It’s the bag charge / paper straws all over again
People will piss themselves and cry and moan about it but as soon as the next environmentally friendly idea comes along, they’ll forget and complain about that instead
Have you tried using a wittwe sippy cup? UwU
Thirst world problems eh.
Quit yer greeting.
Ready to get a cut filtrum?
These lids make me want to litter just to counter the recycling argument.
Thankfully Pepsi Max doesn’t have them! Unsure if it’s the same for all Pepsi bottles.
Give it a twist to break one of the tethers. Makes a huge difference.

I don’t enjoy it.
They do it on purpose!
