To hate the new attached bottle caps

Yes, they are very annoying.

The bottle tops & plastic rings that they attached to, that get dropped or littered are more likely to cause harm to wildlife such as ducks & swans as they often end up in waterways and get caught in their airways.

push the cap all the way back when you need to use the bottle and make sure it’s aligned when closing.

im not a fan of the attached lids but understand why they exist and they don’t cause me that much inconvenience really

For me i can never get them to close properly so they leak. I've tried pulling them off completely but then you get long sharp bits of plastic i keep catching myself on.

I hate them too, for the same reasons. Managed to spill a drink all over the carpet once, because I accidentally jiggled the table the bottle was on, and the lid wasn't on properly.

They’re not on my 4 pint milk bottles

They are difficult to pull off. You now have to cut them.

You just need to pull the cap right back and it doesn’t effect how you drink or pour out of the bottle in the slightest. It does have a detrimental effect if you don’t pull it back properly. So just pull it right back

This reminds me of the rubbish paper straws that aren't strong enough to pierce juice cartons; the straws bend in on themselves. Often I find myself having to pre pierce it first, before even inserting the straw. This isn't always possible if you're out, or if my child has one in their packed lunch. The straw usually turns to mush too midway through drinking. Some brands are designed better/stronger than others with this aspect.
They can help the environment, and create more user friendly products at the same time. There are some cartons where you don't need a straw, and just rip off a tiny piece, and drink from the corner. Why can't they make them all this way? It would also save them putting paper straws in plastic wrappers stuck to the cartons as well.
McDonald's polystyrene lids as well, bloody awful, I cannot order their hot drinks anymore because the feel on my mouth is just too horrible.
Oh and nothing to do with the environment but chuppa chups sodding lolly wrappers, are they expecting these to be removed without a sharp implement?

I hate them too. They are fiddly if you have arthritis in your hands

I just rip it off.

Never had an issue with them.

Who is this made for? Marine life and wildlife who are ingesting a horrifically high amount of microplastics from all the tons of single-use plastic waste us humans produce.

I am sorry things are difficult for you. I’m glad you found an alternative that works for you.

Jamming up the recycling machines with your loose bottle tops is just cost us all more money. It is very very doubtful that it will make manufacturing companies change back to removable lids when they have just had all the machine replaced to make attached lids.

It's good that you don't have a problem with them.

I do and even more so now.

Especially after my Strokes, but even before then, I find them very difficult to get a good seal on them and they keep leaking, they just don't seem to lineup very well and certainly not easily.

Also, because of the strokes, I am fairly much attached to a bottle of water. I refill the bottle all day from Water. I keep in the fridge but I do use the disposable bottle every couple of days. I have changed brand to one that still(at the moment anyway) has a completely removable cap.

At the moment, I am unable to use a hard con continually reusable bottle & whilst I am doing my best to be environmentally friendly I also have to use things I can actually use 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yes they've been around for ages, but they still give me the rage. They are on large fruit juice bottles and milk bottles here too - they are ridiculously difficult to do back up after I've put 25ml of milk in my tea And who walks down the street swigging from a litre bottle of milk?

I take great pleasure in cutting them off and putting the caps and plastic threads separately into the recycling, in the hopes that the whole thing will be deemed a failure by the powers that be...

In theory they should snap back and hold out of the way while you pour but sometimes they don’t, or the lid swivels to the front and then the contents go everywhere. Then you can’t always line the lid up properly to get it properly screwed back on, so it leaks.

Good idea in theory but I just end up twisting the damned things off. They still get screwed back on when the bottle is recycled.

Have you seen the girl on TikTok blaming Jamie Oliver? It really tickled me

I think I might be just be finding out this evening! 😳🫣

I really don’t get the hatred towards these caps - I just use one finger to pin it back when I pour. As a dyspraxic, they’re brill as I’m no longer fumbling the cap back on again and dropping it on the floor half the time 😂

They're not exactly saving the planet if they don't close properly and ruin bags and their contents or, as I so often find, let a fizzy drink go flat.

I made DS1 a Japanese knot bag out of old bedding for when we buy lunch out because I was sick of things being soaked with apple juice because he couldn't get the lid back on properly. This can at least be chucked in the washer.

Yes I also hate them

Having always taken my tetra to the recycling centre to recycle, i have always made them completely flat, and uses the lids to keep the air out.

These new lids REALLY annoy me too.

I just bend it right back and it stays out of the way. However I’m not a smoothie drinker and can imagine something with more consistency would make a mess.

I struggle with dropping things, such as bottle caps, so I like them. I spill sports top bottles.
Same litter logic applied to canned soft drinks many years ago.

Biggest litter issue around here seems to be disposable vapes.

I keep scissors in the car and snip them off.

Bloody stupid idea.

I'm for them in the eco sense, just not the leaking sense. I too have had bags/items ruined. It's made me take a flask or metal water bottle around a lot more so I guess in a roundabout way it's worked and I use less plastic!
