Is everyone in this thread roleplaying or something (genuine)

The captive lid is to keep the small thing attached to the big thing because the small thing is one of the big contributors to ocean plastic pollution

People are super sensitive about their lids or straws for some reason. Maybe i don't drink enough out of plastic bottles, but i have a hard time caring about these.

The attached lids make sense, we did the same with aluminum cans where the lids previously were ripped off.

Nobody gave a shit and it lowered pollution. Now people lose their shit over it

Straws are a simoñar story, just don't fucking use them at all, you don't need them

One or two comments are indeed raising eyebrows...

I'm not entirely buying the plastic pollution argument, even if it is the official stance, mostly because I see it more as a ploy to get us to chug two bottles of Evian doublehanded, than to just buy one.

Plus it's a sex symbol thing. You know what they say about a guy who never delids his bottle 😏

(Or maybe to do with EU litter regulation, I dont know I'm not a scientist)
