You haven't seen the non detachable bottle caps yet. The ones on yoghurt are the most annoying. But if it saves the whales I will have to accept them without spilling by beverage on EU MPs.
At least you're accepting them. Half my FB feed was complaining about them as if they were the worst thing to be foist upon them and I sarcastically posted about how people want the world's problems to be fixed and the environment to be saved, but won't for a microsecond accept any actual solution that might involve them to do some work - cue classic Dilbert moment
They should really complain about plastic food packaging instead. Non detachable bottle caps are just an attempt to start somehere and hopefully discourage usage. I'm sure there are other ways to attach a bottle cap without annoying the crap out of consumers, but the industry chose the cheapest solution and now everybody blames the EU, just like in the case of cookie banners.
Funny you mentioned that since it took me two days of ripping them off before some kind waiter informed me that wasn’t the intended use.
