> After "bootle cap attached to the bottle" EU law
Am I the only person who thinks this is just fine and indeed a good idea? Minor tweak to lid manufacturing that aids recycling and disposal and is useful as a user of the bottle by ensuring the lid doesn't get lost. Though going by internet commentary it's apparently a huge imposition that totally ruins bottled drinks. May well be a silent majority thing? If many like me looked at it once and went 'huh interesting change, seems reasonable' they're not jumping onto to twitter to talk about it.
As for the subject of the article it's just an idea from a Dutch PhD student hardly a serious EU proposal.
- Semaphor 2y agoNah, I also love them, and was always annoyed when I got one of the old bottles. The attached caps are far more convenient. My (unsubstantiated) thought is that the people complaining drink too much soda, as the complaints I saw didn’t change between Coca-Cola doing it way in advance, and now.
- chgs 2y agoI assumed it was an innovation - I’m in the US at the moment and amazing how annoying it is not to have he cap just sit next to the lid.
- NeoTar 2y agoI'm less positive; when badly implemented it can mean that it's hard to get the bottle cap correctly attached - I had a bottle of sparkling water which literally went flat within a couple of hours recently because I reattached the bottle cap incorrectly. But in the grand scheme of things it's fine. Not something I'd especially fight to implement, but also not something I object to.
