The worst thing about those attached bottle lids…

[Fuckyachickenstrips]

It’s not that they’re usually a pain in the hole to screw back on, it’s not that they squash your nose when you’re trying to drink…

It’s that when it’s something like a smoothie, you have to lick them out like a fucking pervert. I’m always tonguing these lids in public like a dirty bastard, but if I don’t then I get smoothie spilled on me from where it’s collected in the lid.

Sick of tongue flicking lids in public like a total deviant.

They dont, theres people moaning on the Italian and Spanish versions of mamasnet right now.

The lids DONT always click into position and stay there for those that keep confidently repeating this, they are scratchy and sharp, also difficult to manipulate for those of us with disabilities, I dont have the strengh to manage them.

However they pale into insignificance in the inconvenience and danger category compared to cardboard lids that some shops are now using for hot drinks Mcdonalds is one of them and a garden centre near us used a cardboard lid for a hot drink the other day. They dont seal properly and are lethal for scalding, dribbling out as you lift the cup to drink. Then you cannot get the lid off for love nor money and risk scalding as you do so, only being able to get it off by tearing it which means you then dont have a lid. Awful awful things.

This thread! 😂

I was just thinking I think I've only probably used one of these lids since they came out. I hate smoothies though they all taste if slightly off banana.

i only really buy water, i think, or perhaps a smoothie recently, but no, i dont tear the lids off,
i like them

By the way @Fuckyachickenstrips I hate these bastard attached bottle lids too! And despite the very few on here with zero sense of humour saying all the lids will end up in landfill because we CBA with them, inexplicably I have always managed to pop the lid back onto the bottle (when I am done with the bottle,) before I stick it in the recycling. I have NEVER chucked the lids in separately.

.

I don't mind them on water.

It's definitely something about smoothies make the bastard lids significantly bastardier.

@FlightCommanderPRJohnson This happened to me yesterday ! I looked as though I had peed myself and DH wouldn't walk alongside me. His loss 😂😂

Well go and give them a good tonguing then to show them how much you like them

😆

Think of your children - unless you indulge in 'hidden veggies'!

It's on all bottles here - unless we go Canadian and they start selling milk in bags, there's going to be little pings of milk, little drips everywhere from the bloody lids (because even if I'm careful, my kids aren't)

Ooh I need some of those.

I know!!

it's only during this past month the council have sent the nite around about NOT squashing,

it's a hard habit to break, and yes, it means the indoor recycling bin needs emptying much more frequently.

we gave shared outdoor recycling bins & some of my neighbours put all sorts in them (absolutely any broken toys, clothes, shoes, broken household objects so my non squashed items don't make that much difference & at least they do get recycled ( or at least I give them the best chance of being recycled!!!)

Also a bloody nightmare if the bottle itself is made of flimsy plastic! You end up squeezing it as you get the lid off then…splosh…

When I said I yank the lid off, I was talking about Diet Coke. I’ve never drunk an Innocent Smoothie in my life - way too much sugar.

They touch my face when I’m drinking and I can’t bear it (autistic).

Coffee is not compulsory

I just snap them off. Problem solved. 😃

No. Never.

I have two pairs, but have had them for 50 years so no idea where they might now be available.

Wow what a bright spark you are.

Its not unreasonable to need refreshment when out and about, its not unreasonable to be able to drink that safely if its a hot drink you want.

And its tea for me anyway
