Good point, it's important as a society that we don't spend time fixing any issue unless it's the biggest issue possible (and then do nothing still) \s
It's important we don't waste resources pretending we're doing something when the real problem goes ignored. Eg. someone posts a video of a turtle with a straw in its nose and suddenly the entire world switches to paper straws, but keeps the plastic lids and plastic coated cardboard they slot into.
the caps are trash, this reduces them being scattered in the environment. It's not a pretend issue, and we didn't "waste resources" doing it. It's made a real, measurable change and took a minimum of effort - it's the exact same manufacturing process, they just needed new injection molds. Personally, i find it more convenient anyway - i don't have to hold on to the cap while drinking. But i guess you find it slightly weird or something, so go ahead and crash out about a good thing as if it's the most important thing in your life ... glad to know your life is going so well that caps attached to a bottle (that you can still remove with a slight tug if you really care) is worth your stress and anger.
