| So the EU is bad because you can't learn to screw on a bottle cap that's different than before? |

| I am not joining the whole “EU is bad argument”, however the new caps are very annoying, especially the limited benefits they provide. |

This equates to 140 tonnes of plastic each year. https://www.emballagefokus.dk/goer-noget-uden-at-goere-noget... | | |

The whole thing smells like a made up issue concocted by some company wanting to sell their bottle cap solution. |

| Honestly yeah. The EU is run entirely by PMC people who don't understand or care about the effect on lower-class and frankly less intelligent people's lives. |
