I always return the bottle with the cap to get my deposit back, and I find tethered caps very impractical. When I pour my drink now I need two hands: One to hold the bottle and the other to hold the cap up so that it doesn't snap back and my drink is spilled.
>>
>>200119973
ah yes, im sure this is much more environmentally friendly than using 100% recyclable glass bottles
>>
>>200119973
It's a good idea, literally nothing wrong with it.
It's just that the execution is a bit lazy/lacking sometimes.
The cap has to be designed so that it stays wide open in the open position and in the closed position is easy to screw on.
On a couple of products I even find it handy because they work so well and I don't need another hand to hold the cap.

I suspect that in a few years time all products will have a well functioning convenient cap retaining mechanism.

Glass bottle require a lot of energy and resources to produce and transport.
>>200120105
Indeed there are some poorly designed caps on the market. I suspect that they will have it perfected in a few years.

You have never lifted a 12 bottle box of those. I have, and it used to be back-breakingly heavy.

Just reuse them.
Return your empty bottle to the store and pick a new one, or better, go to the maker and get a refill.
How the fuck this thing disappeared baffles me.
>>
>>200119973
I got used to these already. Now when a bottle doesn't have one, I keep dropping the cap. Thanks eurogays
>>
>>200120133
I miss having the cases of glass bottles.
Every grocery store used to sell them. And you could return it with the empty bottles for "pant" (cash or store credit).
Was perfect to just haul into the car when going somewhere or have at home.

Well, apparently a few of the Mediterranean EU countries complained that plastic bottle caps are washed up on their beaches. Which brings me to the question of what happens to the bottles?

Anyway, unlike those Mediterranean countries, Germany has had a deposit on glass bottles since 1929, and introduced an even higher deposit on plastic bottles when they became economically relevant 22 years ago. Now there are literal turf wars between bottle collectors over who gets to pick up bottles where. An empty plastic bottle gets you 25 Eurocents when you return it to the store.

One of those useless gimmicks that they have introduced so they can act like they did something for the environment. Whatever I only use glass bottles anyways.

>>200120577
I could swear that I some of those little bottles are still available in Germany. I think only for the major brands like Coca Cola tho.

Loving those pointy plastic bits it leaves behind that you then have to get with a scissor because you can't get a strong enough grip on a half cm of thin plastic with your fingerstips.

>we spent 134578 billion euros to make plastic caps slightly more annoying, but it's kind of sort of maybe good for the environment unless you effortlessly rip it off then it's for nothing I guess oops haha!

it's an unironic humiliation ritual, as in a useless thing that has not achieved the proclaimed impact but is nevertheless forced to remind you that the king can pass arbitrary laws and that you will be forced to obey. It's like the anal swab of China that they used to do at some airports. It wasn't about the covid.
>>

>It's like the anal swab of China that they used to do at some airports.
On the other hand, would be pretty great to be the guy who gets to do that with young Chinese women at the airports.
Would make it as sexual and uncomfortable as humanly possible for them, knowing that any complaint would get them locked up and their social credit score annihilated.

Imagine.

Yeah but they also replaced this type of lid that already did the same thing with the new one and I don't understand why.
>>
>>200120042
Das rite
>>
>>200126719
The capped ones break the seal when you turn them, the old seal (you pic) tears off a strip which is the seal.
I think that the cap version is more secure and the seal requires more force to break. Maybe this matters for transport and handling.
I don't have a preference, I think flip caps were fine for juice (or milk I guess).
>>
>>200126878
I've had some truly shit designed lids on juice containers bought from Turk and Asian markets in the past. There was one brand where there was 50% chance opening it would tear the cap off the cartoon because it was held on with the shittiest glue imaginable.
