Tethered Bottle Caps (www.neue-verpackung.de)

Yes I am aware that they're somehow supposed to reduce plastic waste because the cap can't get lost ... unless you cut it off, of course.

Yes I am also aware that there are people with disabilities (shaky hands, weak grip, etc.) who are thankful for these and actually like the design. Good for them, and I mean that in a non-sarcastic way.

But personally, I hate these things with all the "first world problems" rage I can muster and go out of my way to rip / cut / twist them off on every single bottle I buy. I don't like having the bottle cap directly in my face while drinking, or slipping in the way of the flow whenever I just want to pour milk, and on more than one occasion, I've actually cut my finger OR lip on these little sh*ts (not the same type as in the picture, but baldy-made longer "bands" that leave little plastic spikes on the cap and/or band).

No idea whether I should post this in the "unpopular opinion" section instead or if other people think the same, but to me, "mildly infuriating" describes them perfectly.

Stop buying single use plastic and get a reusable!

There literally is no option for it. I can only buy my milk in cartons with this cap on

[–] scottmeme@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago

Then look around, more milk suppliers are using reusable glass bottles now.

I have two alternative options in my immediate neighbourhood in a big city in capitalist-shithole-central and I didn't even have to try looking.

[–] Azzu@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

Big city, nice. I live in a small town. Could drive 30km to somewhere else, which I'm sure will not offset any savings xD

You can go to your local farmer. They usually don't bother selling you some milk. Bring your own bottle for them to fill it up. Also, its usually much cheaper than everything you can buy elsewhere. If you want to be sure you don't get sick you can cook the milk(but this causes a loss in taste), but you can also drink it without cooling it. You might get sick the first (few) times, but you will get used to it and won't get sick from drinking raw milk.

"Just milk the cow your self"

[–] dditty@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

I can only buy yogurt in plastic containers, and I'm talking 32 oz containers not single serves

Plant milk, right?

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Plant milk is pure sugar which is worse than cow milk that is half sugar. Better to just avoid consuming lots of it.

[–] iiGxC@slrpnk.net 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

What are you talking about? Off the top of my head, unsweetened soy milk and unsweetened ripple (pea milk) have no or low sugar, and are high protein

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The best is to drink tap water(assuming you live in a region where its safe to drink).

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 months ago

That's fine in some places. However, a lot of the US has contaminated drinking water due to lead mines. They mines are long closed but lead is everywhere. I don't have to worry but I know people who have had there entire yards replaced due to lead.
