@s10n@mastodon.social @matt@oslo.town They do actually solve a real environmental issue.

Annoying as hell when trying to drink, though.

@s10n@mastodon.social @matt@oslo.town (Mind you, the latter doesn’t have to be the case. So it does make me wonder how much of it is malicious compliance. If not, it’s just bad design. I refuse to believe that you couldn’t comply with the regulations and design a bottle that is ergonomic to drink from.)

@aral@mastodon.ar.al @s10n@mastodon.social @matt@oslo.town honestly, after learning to place it to the side I fail find the annoying. IDK how most of the people complaining cannot figure out that it's easy to move it to the side.
