just use it as intended instead of trying to rip it off

It's annoying then though since you to take care not to pour over it or get it in your mouth. And lost caps weren't even a problem before.

If you have a limited mobility, they can be very hard to close if the tail is short, which defies the purpose of a bottle cap.

Oh that's supposed to stay attatched? Thought it was only to make sure that bottle was unopened. I always just rip it off.

Problem: It's a different kind of plastic from the bottle and isn't recyclable. So it's going to need to be cut off the bottle anyway. :(

This is not about US bottle caps

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I seriously doubt bottlecaps are any different elsewhere.

I carry a small nail clipper on my key chain that has seen more of those than actual nails.

My pocket knife aswell. I used to recycle 100% of my plastic bottles before. Now I recycle 99.8% as there's always this tiny piece that I cut off and throw in the trash. Same as that metal clip on lighters that's supposed to stop children from being able to ignite them. It's the first thing I rip off when I buy a new one.

I so despise that, I always cut it off and get agitated because always leaves some sharpness.

[-] abcd@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

If the manufacturers would not use the cheapest caps with the least amount of flimsiest material available for this application, they could even be usable…

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

Let's just stop making all this shit out of plastic. Like immediately

Have you seen the caps on some milk packs? Those are just evil.

[-] answersplease77@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

why did make this law about bottle caps? how is that supposed to help the environment?
