Ich war jemand, der sich über die Umstellung auf Tethered Caps ärgerte. Obwohl sie aus Recycling-Sicht gut sind, haben sie mich trotzdem geärgert.
Jetzt war ich gerade im Urlaub in einem Land, in dem es keine gibt – und es hat mich so geärgert, die Kronkorken immer mit mir herumtragen und an sie denken zu müssen 🙃
Das ist eine gute Abwechslung – auch aus Usability-Sicht! Ich würde nicht zurückgehen wollen!
Allerdings ärgern mich die zerfallenden Pappstrohhalme immer noch …

It is just a matter of habits. I honestly feel that the new version is annoying but I manage to accept it because what else can I objectively do?
I never had issues with tethered caps. When someone complains about it I always wondered how they’re drinking.
I fully agree – it’s so much nicer not to have to place your bottle cap somewhere when drinking (especially when in the car) – personally i never understood anyway why people get so annoyed by something so little (they must have pretty miserable lives 🤣)
Why even use paper straws? McDonald’s much to my surprise changed to Cup caps with holes in it like others do it with coffee.. I don’t really eat there but it was a pleasent surprise when I saw it.
No, they are still just as insufferable. If I drink from a bottle, I don’t want the cap coming to itch me on my face. I pay taxes, I am mature enough to look after my caps without being babied into it.
Somehow a big portion of people doesnt know that they stay back if you turn them enough
Give em a twist or two and they‘ll come right off
Yes I love when my smoothie drips all over my face because there is a rest left in the cap, which is attached. 🤗❤️
I usually just rip it off right after opening the bottle. I make sure to dispose of the bottle with the lid screwed on tightly, of course.
It depends on the caps, or the tethered cap technology. If it never annoyed you then you never drank stuff from bottlers that didn’t pay the licenses or whatever for the good caps, or if they all make their own some made crappy caps. Then they refined it so it’s not merely tethered but also out of the way as much as possible. But that’s just a theory. A tethered cap theory.
I’ve been enough in EU countries to get intimately acquainted with the first generation of tethered caps. Those all SUCKED SO BAD, but times did change for the better. I still prefer a regular removable cap over most of the tethered ones in most situations (except for specific situations like driving a car), but some of the newer versions of tethered caps are getting decent.
(The key takeaway here for those less familiar with tethered caps is that there isn’t just one kind of them. Some are much better than others. Some still suck, others are pretty good.)
Went from USB-C caps to USB-A. Takes some getting used to. If you are distracted, drink on your clothes.
I fucking hate paper straws! 1 Minute in the drink and sou have paper straw soup
Switzerland is somewhere in between. We have them tethered but you can easily break them. Can’t do that with EU bottles, though.
Is this ragebait?
i hate them
My problem is with smoothies for example where you shake the bottle, open in, push the cap behind, then drink and have the residual liquid of the smoothie drip on my nose while I’m drinking from the bottle
While you’re driving and want to drink, you can open the bottle with one hand and the cap is by the bottle.
I still clip them every time and use it like I always have. I drink it and throw the cap away /s
