For example, I’m incredibly confused about how you’re supposedly to measure liquid laundry detergent with the cap. At least the kind that I have sits on it’s side, so if you measure it with the cap it just leaks everywhere and makes a mess.

Or at my parents house they have a bag of captain crunch berries that has a new design, where instead of zipping along the top of the bag like normal, it has a zipper in the front slightly beneath the top. That way when you poor it you can’t see what you’re doing cuz the bag is in the way. Like what the heck who’s idea was that?

    Twist them round half a turn (after loosening) one of the two plastic straps will break off and you have more maneuvering space to screw the cap back on. Twist and tear again to get the entire cap off and fasten the old fashioned way.

    My expierence is that most (european) bottles this helps.

      I’ve no problem with breaking them off, I just think they’re a foolish idea that doesn’t solve a problem. They just make life more difficult (my kids and wife can’t close them tightly enough, and half of each bottle goes flat).

        I agree on the dumbness of the design.

        The half twist does solve the problem of getting it back on, give it a try!
