The EU enacted a new law a while ago that all bottle caps should remain attached to the bottle, to combat plastic trash.

All the bottle and packaging makers, from massive multinationals like Coca Cola and fucking Nestlé to small local producers invested in the development of new caps, changing their production lines, and shipping the new caps. Today, a month before the law goes into effect, it's basically impossible to find a bottle without an attached cap.

I don't know, I thought this story was weirdly relevant right now with Apple being a whiny bitch. Imagine being worse than Coca Cola and motherfucking Nestlé.

@thomholwerda To be fair, it’s also basically impossible to find anyone who doesn’t loathe these attached caps with all their heart.

@subraumpixel At first I was deeply annoyed by them. But I had this problem of sometimes not being able to reliably put the cap back on, and instead my nerve damaged hand would gleefully toss the bottle cap somewhere on the floor instead of holding onto it... And then I'd have to hunt for the cap, wash it, and try to not knock over the bottle in the meantime.
Completely eliminated this issue, none floor bottle caps since then. An accessibility win!
