What? Preventative measures for plastic pollution? Sure, THAT’S the worst thing about Britain…
Not our decades old, outdated education system? Not our underfunded and strained NHS?
Not our awful public transport sector?
Not our cost of living and tax hikes?
No, a plastic cap that’s still connected to the bottle is the worst thing. Call me sad for not seeing the joke, but I see a post like this about these new caps a few times a week. I really don’t understand what peoples problems with them are. Like are we all just annoyed that we can’t hold the cap in our free hand now or something?
I love that people struggle with this like “oooh it touches me nose when I sip from the vessel”
part of the fun is losing the bottle caps why dont they get that
preventative measures against plastic pollution, awful amirite guys!!
Only children would actually agree with this. Grow the fuck up
If you push them so they are horrizontal with the bottle they click. And then you can push them back into place and close the lid.
They were a little annoying and weird at first but seems fine now.
What do you people want? bottlecaps littering the streets?
It just isn’t. They’re just different, not worse or better in any way. All it is is change, why can’t anyone in this country handle an ounce of change?
Grow up.
My view on these completely changed after visiting America where they don’t have it (I felt like an astronaut dropping their pen after returning to earth)
Don’t get me wrong, when done half arsed, it’s horrible, when done right, with a little lid catch to stop it from slapping your cheek they are amazing.
Having them done poorly on 2L drinks is a nightmare, spending 2 minutes trying to align it all up so it have a tight seal.
this is a global issue
Whenever I see pathetic people moaning and whining about this, I always think of the Krusty the Clown rant:
“Ooh, look at me. I can’t set my V.C.R. I can’t open a bag of airline peanuts. I’m a freakin moron!”
Am I the only one that has issues doing the lids back up after now it’s attached?
No it’s not. Most of the time they fold back far enough and don’t rub against your face
You must have a pretty good life if things like this annoy you.
I wish I could take the time to get mad as such bullshit.
People sure do love complaining about trivial things
It’s actually the paper straws, but this is a close second, a close third is removing all the sugar from these things in the first place, making them undrinkable anyway.
Cap rage is real lol never in my life have I lost a cap 😅 😂
This is a modern problem that is possibly the easiest to solve.
When you open the cap, give it a small twist anti-clockwise to easily snap one of the two tabs connecting it at the weak point. The cap will then lamely droop down the side of the bottle so you can drink without worrying about the cap being in the way, yet also keeping the cap attached so you dont have to keep hold of it when unscrewed.
I’ve genuinely had no issue with these and I dunno what people are doing that they do.
It was definitely a shocker when I first came to the UK.
But also as someone who never fails to drop the cap after opening it, I love this design.
Grow up
Personally, I like not having to hold on to them.
Uhm what? As a European I’m surprised that you Brits have this as well. The amount of grief this is getting in the EU, I thought that brexiteers would be elated by this…
Hating on these lids is so immature, its fine, grow up, you can cope
Keeps me from losing the cap so a win for me
no they aren’t it literally takes 2 seconds to rip the lid off if that’s what you wish to do.
Just pull it off, I’m 70 years old eith arthritis and I can manage it.
I mean I would say the fact we are living in a broken economy where most of our money is being horded by the wealthy or sent overseas to large companies or private business owners while the lower classes scrimp and save just for the slim chance of paying rent on a house we will never get to own . Mainly because the power and funding for building housing was stripped away from councils decades before I was even born and sold off to private development companies who purposely build few new housing as to artificially drive up property prices . This has gone on to leave people so broke they can’t spend money to the point it is crippling businesses so only the few robust chains can survive by cutting jobs, compounding the crumbling economic crisis. all the while the media is pushing the message that the “real” problem with the country is immigrants or LGBTQ rights or European ovvereach thus misguiding the rightfully angry population into anger at the wrong issues
But yeah a bottle lid that’s attached to the bottle is also bad I guess .
This isn’t in the top thousand problems in Britain.
I really don’t have a problem with it. You just put it out of the way and take a swig. It’s easy and fine.
Play stupid game win stupid prizes. If people stopped dropping their shit all over the place we wouldn’t need training caps. Of all the places i have visited in Europe the uk, where I am from, is the dirtiest. Motorways roundabouts, our pavements, parks, beaches, our coast… so much rubbish it isn’t a wonder why we cant be trusted to bin a bottle with the lid.
Really? I thought it was a great idea! Dumb people drop litter. Jeez, others like to moan over the most pointless stuff 🙄
This is whole lot of molehills being turned into mountains imo.
I would say I understand the logic behind it, which is that it stops the lid being separated from the bottle when put for recycling. Like people didn’t just screw the lid back on the bottle already?
So, the logic’s trying to solve a problem that doesn’t exist.
