I just went back to Europe for the first time in 4 years.

4 years ago, I do not remember water bottles having that. But on this trip, they all did. And I hated it.

I can't speak for Europe, but bottles in America have had those for decades.

Maybe I'm missing something about what's pictured, but isn't this just the ring that comes with every milk jug or plastic soda bottle? The one that causes me to curse under my breath as it scratches my pinky before I rip it off and toss it in the trash?

It’s a ring that prevents separating the bottle from the cap and weirdos make a big fuss about it.

Ah. Yes. You are missing it.

The lid stays attached to that ring. So in Europe, the lid hinges because it only separates from that seal about 90%. Then you unscrew it, and flip it back on the hinge, which is the last 10% of the plastic still attached.

I see that. The ones on the milk jugs get stuck too. I always have to twist more to pull them all way off...
