I remember being annoyed by these captive lids when they were introduced. Now it just feels wrong when lids aren't whenever I travel outside Europe.

Yeah I'm so used to not having to deal with the lid after opening it, so when a bottle isn't like this it's kinda like that feeling of not knowing what to do with your arms haha. What a first world problem to have.

I do prefer these captive lids though, it just seems to make sense to me, it's already going to go back on the bottle after you've taken your sip anyway.
