I like this new feature very much - the lid no longer has to be held in the other hand or such but simply stays where it is needed.

People who are not able to perform most simple tasks like turning the lid a little sideways should be exempted from elections.

Yeah, turning it a bit to the side is no big deal.

However, I recently found out that this makes drinking things a little more viscous absolutely impossible without messing up your shit.

I drank a Kefir, which you normally shake before drinking. So there is a lot of it clinging to the inside of the cap for dear life - up until to that very moment you take a sip. Then, it decides that it had enough and spills on your clothes, face, shoes - whatever the fuck it can possibly get to.

So either you need a glass, let it sit until the cap is mostly empty or lick that cap and look like a complete degenerate.

I will be going to the store later to buy kefir and relive your experience so I can better judge its validity

So, it took me embarrassingly many shopping trips to remember to buy kefir. But I finally did. For reference, I chose Andechser Bio Kefir. But to be honest I didn't find the lid dripping. I shook before I opened and it was still fine. Repeated that a couple of times. Decided to leave some for the next day, maybe the consistency would change after opening. Still fine. Then I decided to let it warm to room temperature and still no dripping.

So unfortunately I cannot reproduce the scientific findings of @frosch.

It's been 8 hours. Either they ded. Or are too ashamed and embarrassed after getting covered in their drink.

[-] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 2 points 3 days ago

I'm just too ashamed to admit that I went to the store to buy kefir like 5 times and each time bought half of the supermarket's inventory but not kefir.

I finally did though. Cannot confirm the dripping, see comment above.

[-] OrgunDonor@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Thanks for the update, glad you are not ded!

Just take your shirt off while drinking.

[-] kwomp2@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

Hold up. You can't hold the lid in the same hand you hold the bottle with and still feel eligible to vote?

I realized how good thing this was when I wanted to drink while carrying luggage. Converted me from a hater to a slightly less hater.

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 week ago

It just seems absolutely useless. I also wouldn't want my cheek to get a stray drop of soda on it. I imaging most people just tear it off.

Team twist after opening fully to bring out the tether and hold it with a finger

So okay the bottle ones like this are fine

It is these fuckers I have an issue with

I swear if I ever see the person who designed the new milk cap I will make them choke on a fucking tetrapak.

[-] telllos@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

The top one is just horrible on juice or smoothies. You open it and it's sprays droplets all around.

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Have you tried opening the milk anywhere else but on a flat solid surface? It sprays everywhere

What’s the microplastics in drinking water though from the tap? I mean we know it isn’t going to be zero.

[-] synestia@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 week ago

Depends on where you live. But rest assured: we'll all have PFAS in our clits and plastic in our dicks by the time we go into the casket. There is no place on earth where PFAS aren't raining down from the skies.

[-] Hubi@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

I just rip that mfer off tbh

[-] lurch@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago

just put the whole thing in your mouth. it's not like you need any more practice

[-] horse@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 week ago

Having been on holiday at a place with a beach recently and seeing how much plastic crap gets washed ashore and how much of that crap is bottle lids, I'm actually pretty okay with this change.

[-] federalreverse@feddit.org 2 points 4 days ago

This is how the EU in fact decided for this measure.

[-] neidu2@feddit.nl 9 points 1 week ago

If you are able to open the cap to begin with, you're capable of twisting it and tearing it off. It's not that hard. I never understood the "controversy" when these were introduced, and I'm convinced that the ones too inept to take it off completely are the same ones who caused the caps to end up in the wrong place to begin with.

[-] Noodle07@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Uuuuuh never taken the cap off, but I also stopped losing the cap after putting it down 5 seconds ago to pour myself a glass of soda 🤷

[-] sneezycat@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 week ago

Come on grandma, we've told you you can't take your memory meds with soda, it's bad for you. Here, have this glass of water...

Hold 0,00004km above mouth and pour it in like the fountains of Rome.

Just evolve to have a more pronounced overbite and shorter nose like the rest of us.

The bottles are okay, but on the milk for example i take it off by just pulling on it.

[-] 10_0@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

Was with to a guy that broke off the lid while talking about how its attached to help with recycling the plastic.

[-] LANIK2000@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Personally I've enjoyed the change, keeping track of the lid was always annoying. Also find it strange that everyone I've ever seen complain about it, never just riped it off, it's not that hard, I tried just for the sake of it, it's not any harder than opening the damn bottle. In fact, once saw one of these naggers complain about accidentally tearing it half way off, making it even more annoying apparently. What clowns.

[-] redisdead@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

"Keeping track of the lid"?????????

Brother how short of a memory span do you have?!
