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
How’d it go?
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.
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.
Thanks for the update, glad you are not ded!
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.
Bottled water: Imagine drinking 240000 microplastic particles per bottle.
You’re getting thousands for every cent you pay! What a deal!
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.
“Keeping track of the lid”???
Brother how short of a memory span do you have?!
No, but I have friends and family and we occasionally share a bottle, extra annoyance point for sharing in a group of classmates or similar almost stranger group. Usually the first person to open it holds on to it, or you pass it with the bottle, but sometimes someone puts it down, for any reason really, lazyness, not expecting to close it soon, and before ya know it, ya searching for the fucking lid.
Another moron-filter. People complain about simple gestures that could potentially help humanity in a small way. We’ve always had morons. We seem to reach a critical mass, though. The real issue if overpopulation: more morons in general.
It’s fine that those people exist, but they shouldn’t be allowed to reproduce or teach.
Those caps are fine. Drinking from plastic bottles is stupid enough. Having them at all was a huge step back.
What a world.
