WHEN you drink from a plastic bottle you may have spotted that some lids stay attached now to help with recycling. But it turns out you may be using your lid all wrong - according to one Coca Cola fan. Instead of peeling back the lid, they opened it and pulled it forwards over the top.
The benefit of this method was that it doesn’t catch on your lip as you sip your drink. TikTok user @davebold1 shared: “So this is how these daft lids are meant to be used.” He joked about the year 2024: “There was me thinking be flying cars and stuff.
Nope lids on juice bottles that dont come off.” His video has racked up over 50,000 likes, and people praised his way of using the lids. One wrote: “Oh my.
I’ve been pulling it back and either getting it pinged back in my face when taking a drink or it gets in the way whilst taking a drink.” Another added: “And here is me scraping my nose with every sip.” We previously shared how people had started noticing Coca Cola rolling out new caps to their bottles across Britain in 2022.
The caps are attached to 1.5L and 500ml bottles and don't come off when you open your drink. The change can also be spotted on Fanta , Sprite and Dr Pepper bottles.
The move comes as Coca Cola attempts to ensure all parts of their recyclable bottles actually end up in the recycling bin. It aims to make it easier for people to bin their drinks when they're finished but Coke drinkers on X, formerly known as Twitter , weren’t convinced at the time. One w.
