You definitely did not know this! We've discovered what the new caps on plastic bottles are actually used for
You may have already noticed that some plastic bottle caps are no longer detachable. This is done on purpose to help recycle this material.
Such caps have a big drawback. Drinking water when they are attached to the bottle is quite uncomfortable and even dangerous, because you can scratch your lips. But, in fact, it's not like that at all. You just need to know how to open the bottle correctly. A user with the nickname davebold1 shared how to do this on TikTok, The Sun reports.

To begin with, you should understand that such changes in the production of bottle caps are driven by environmental concerns. It will be much easier for a consumer to recycle a bottle and cap at once than to keep them separate and try not to lose them.

The new design of lids can be very annoying if you don't know how to use them properly. But, once people learn about this method, they start to enjoy their drink and also take care of the environment.

To prevent these caps from interfering with drinking from the bottle, you simply unscrew them, pull them up a little, and flip them down. This way, you will never lose a plastic bottle cap again and hand it in for recycling in one piece, and you will not damage your own face while drinking from it.
