Comment on Euro bottles are so much better now
agressivelyPassive@feddit.de 1 month agoMaybe your bottles are different, but the bottles here in Germany have a very short “leash” and are often connected to the right in two places, so it constantly pushes in your face when drinking.
If an actual problem would have been solved, I’d be fine with it, but it’s just a pointless law which only exists to create the illusion of progress and shift blame onto consumers.

Rotate the bottle 90 degrees so the cap goes to the side of your face rather than mashing it into your nose.

…then it scratches my cheek.
Why is it so hard to understand that a useless piece of plastic in your face might be unpopular?

I guess because I’ve got used to it now and it’s entirely a non-issue in my life, I wouldn’t say it scratches my cheek at all.
If it means less microplastic in the sea, I’m all for it

And even that is dubious.
How many of the caps are actually reaching the ocean and is that actually a way to reduce that?
I mean, how about a European refund system? Works perfectly fine in Germany and actually makes recycling a bit easier?
These caps are empty gestures as I described above.

If that’s the biggest annoyance in your life, I want your life!

It’s not, and it’s disingenuous to imply that this is what I wrote.
You’re building a straw man.

If you only have one annoyance big enough to complain about I want your life.
