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?

        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.

    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.
