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.

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.

[–] ModernRisk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 6 months ago

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

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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 6 months ago

I seriously doubt bottlecaps are any different elsewhere.

Aluminum can gang represent.

[–] abcd@feddit.de 5 points 6 months 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 6 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] gigachad@feddit.de 4 points 6 months ago (3 children)

I only buy one of those plastic bottles every two months, so that's okay for me. The good water comes from the tap, cola or other drinks I buy in glass bottles.
