    I end up dribbling because the lid gets in my way, but it’s fine because I’m helping to offset the pollution caused by a billionaire’s private jet.

      If you keep pushing it further open it has a detent that will hold it open far enough that even my big nose won’t touch it… It’s an amazing design, better than a screw cap in every way. Well, at least the properly designed ones.

        Yeah, I know, but that doesn’t lend itself to comments that get upvotes, and I’m a slag for it.

        That last sentence is pulling a whole lot of weight there, there are so many bad implementations out there it’s just stupid.

        Also why the hell does this extend to all bottles, what is the point of a milk carton having this mandatory. (Pure coincidence, but most milk packaging I’ve come across after the change falls in the ‘bad implementation’ category)

      I remember when cans used to have tabs that tore off. These were changed to the current model, where the tab stays attached after the can is opened.

      People complained that they couldn’t drink properly with the new tab design. I guess they either figured it out, died, started using a glass, or gave up drinks in cans completely, since I haven’t heard this complaint in decades.

      Anyway, I hope you figure it out, comrade! Good luck!
