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
I don't hate them.
I even find them practical, for example if I have to open a bottle while I'm driving.
I know that some people find them irritating, but I just don't mind them, I go on with my life, I have bigger things to worry about.
@kirenida @subraumpixel Initially, I didn't like them, and managed to separate them accidentally many times. But either the caps improved, or my muscle memory learned how to handle them.
That doesn't mean accidents no longer happen. A few days ago, I had a bottle with a monostable instead of a bistable cap: while pouring, the cap suddenly closed, creating a mess on my kitchen counter...
