Does your country produce liquid products with this kind of bottle caps?

[-]

Yes we have this kind of recipients and they all suck. The cap is often too close to the bottle and when you drink from the bottle, you can’t wrap your lips completely on the bottle and liquid drips on your clothes; or in case of the yogurt bottles, there is yogurt stuck on the inside of the cap and when you lift up the bottle to drink from it, the yogurt from the lid drips on your clothes.

This is a very poor thought idea. The detachable cap was much better

Are you sucking on the bottle or what? I never have these issues

Recipient nu are sensul cuvântului din română în limba engleza, singura definiție în engleza este cea de destinatar. Poți înlocui cu bottle.

We have them. On 2 liter boxes of milk. WHO IS CARRYING AROUND TWO LITERS OF MILK AND THROWS CAPS AWAY

[-]

SamiTheAnxiousBean@reddit

Yes and seemingly everyone except me hates them

XAHKO@reddit

Most change is an inconvenience at first. Fear not, we’re an adaptive species. The cause is just

[-]

fk_censors@reddit

What is the cause?

[-]

XAHKO@reddit

To put a stop to the cruelty of bottle and cap separation. They have feelings too ;)

[-]

ZinbaluPrime@reddit

Nope. There are two of us now.

[-]

God-Among-Men-@reddit

Three actually

[-]

-BarrenWuffett@reddit

All EU countries have these bottle caps since this design was an EU directive.

[-]

fk_censors@reddit

What was the supposed goal of this directive?

[-]

-BarrenWuffett@reddit

Their reasoning was that the caps being tethered to the bottle would reduce plastic litter.

[-]

posjetilac@reddit (OP)

Do plastic bottle products from Turkey, Albania and North Macedonia have those bottle caps?

Most of bottle products from Serbia and Bosnia have those bottle caps, but not every bottle has (like Pepsi and Vitinka products).

[-]

-BarrenWuffett@reddit

I’m not sure as I haven’t been to any of these countries in the last 12 months, but since they’re not in the EU, they might not have them, since non-EU members don’t have to comply with EU directives.

[-]

posjetilac@reddit (OP)

Bosnia is not a member of EU, and not Serbia, either. But our products (luckily, not every) have that feature from EU.

[-]

-BarrenWuffett@reddit

It’s probably more cost effective for the company to manufacture the same lid design throughout Europe.

[-]

Defiant-Dare1223@reddit

We don't have them in Switzerland.

[-]

-BarrenWuffett@reddit

Switzerland’s not in the EU, just part of the single market.

[-]

ExtremeProfession@reddit

Our companies also export a lot to Croatia and Slovenia

Arktinus@reddit

I was in Istanbul in October and the bottles we bought and drank from had the normal bottle caps.

[-]

PyroSharkInDisguise@reddit

I have countered them in Turkey but it isnt widespread. Also they are annoying…

[-]

Puzzleheaded_Sir903@reddit

Annoying is too nice word for it. The bottle cap kept hitting me on the nose or scratching my chin.

[-]

testmypp@reddit

As of my experience the bottles in Kosovo do not have those kind of caps except for those which are also sold in EU countries. So my expection would be that this is also the case for Albania and North Macedonia because they have similar products :)

[-]

Impossible_Speed_954@reddit

These are pretty rare in Turkey and only some companies have them.

[-]

Albanian98@reddit

Yes we have it in Albania too

[-]

AlmostAnchovy@reddit

I know one brand that does this. By the looks I'm guessing that it's mechanism is stronger than the one in the picture, which makes it very uncomfortable to use.

[-]

ButterscotchThink477@reddit

In the Rep. Moldova, they are as well.

[-]

freakybird99@reddit

Im from turkey and only "saka" branded water have those. I remember the cherry coke i had in serbia also had that cap tho

[-]

AliHakan33@reddit

They're not very common but they do exist

[-]

Competitive-Read1543@reddit

Yes, we have a very similar design

[-]

vlaritrin@reddit

They may be annoying from time to time

[-]

oldyellowcab@reddit

Happily the spirit bottles don’t have such bottle caps -yet.

[-]

oldyellowcab@reddit

I’m against the EU just because of these bottle caps. But nobody cares. Why? Because Turkey won’t be a part of the EU sooner.

[-]

BudgetingIsBoring@reddit

Not in Canada, that's too advanced for us,maybe in 500y

[-]

enilix@reddit

Yeah, as they're mandatory in the EU (I think?). I don't mind them as much as most people.

[-]

ejjedidne@reddit

I believe Star Cola uses em but it could just be Mandela affect

[-]

cevapcic123@reddit

Yep

[-]

NoExide@reddit

Unfortunately.

On the other hand, it's easy to yank them off. Fortunately.

[-]

ostkraut@reddit

This particular design is very rare here.

[-]

prehistoric_monster@reddit

Yup, every european country does even those not in eu

[-]

Defiant-Dare1223@reddit

Not us!

[-]

Defiant-Dare1223@reddit

No thank fuck

[-]

Internal-Debt1870@reddit

Yes and they're not as bad as people make them seem to be. It's very practical when you're on the move.

[-]

silverbell215@reddit

They are annoying. I stick to Lejla since it seems to be one of the only water products in Bosnia that doesn’t have it.

[-]

TWO-COOPERS@reddit

It doesn’t matter if they make then attached or detached, I’m still going to throw the bottle into the ocean

[-]

SebastianCophet@reddit

Same here!

[-]

Sea-Limit-5430@reddit

I hate these sooo much. I’ve only ever seen one in Canada, and I’ve been boycotting that brand of orange juice ever since

[-]

K4bby@reddit

Yes, but so far only Coca Cola and companies they own implemented this change.

[-]

ve_rushing@reddit

Those are everywhere now.

[-]

29Drastic@reddit

I h a t e them with passion. I rip them off every single time when I open a new bottle.

[-]

Dubl33_27@reddit

lol, that expires on my birthday

[-]

29Drastic@reddit

Now everyone knows when your birthday is

[-]

Radiant-Safe-1377@reddit

I rip them off, spill the contents over me and curse von der leyen’s family tree

[-]

evgeny3345@reddit

Von der Lyin'

[-]

29Drastic@reddit

This was accurate!

[-]

alexsmajor@reddit

Yes, love them!

[-]

BabySignificant@reddit

We have those mostly on products shared with the EU in some way. Coca-Cola products and Cockta have those, but Pepsi products don't. Our local drinks also don't.

[-]

Every-Artist-35@reddit

Yeah we got them. There is a trick, you open it and roll it bottom down so it doesn’t slap on your face when drinking. Cmon Balkan bros let’s get with the flow

[-]

Cautious-Passage-597@reddit

it sucks its annoying!

[-]

_zurik_@reddit

It’s a bit annoying, but okay. I’m breaking the plastic that holds the cap on the bottle.

[-]

God-Among-Men-@reddit

Yes and everyone expect me hates them I like them it means I don’t have to carry my cap

[-]

Tokeitawa@reddit

Mildly annoying.

[-]

ipidov@reddit

The archnemesis of the Bulgarian conservative. If only we could have our old caps back it would solve all our problems.

[-]

ZinbaluPrime@reddit

Why? It's one of the best fucking inventions ever.

No more cap rolling in the car while you drive causing you to crash into another VW or Audi.

No more beer bottle cap tumbling under the sofa and you have to call your kids to go dig it out among the other trash there etc. etc.

[-]

Tokeitawa@reddit

Personally, it wouldn't be much of a problem if the company was competent enough to make them work without any issue, kinda like those Rosa bottles for kids, excluding the suckling part.

The fact we have to open it like regular caps and sometimes having to brute-shot is mildly annoying at best.

[-]

Sharp-Actuary7087@reddit

Yes in 🇭🇷

[-]

posjetilac@reddit (OP)

Do all plastic bottle products (including Pepsi too) that are produced in Croatia have those bottle caps?
