I'm quite glad this crap hasn't made it to Switzerland, yet.
I know you don't yet have oceans in Switzerland, but that bit of discomfort is worth it, imho. If you don't like it, get a glass (hori or verti, your choice) or your trusty Sigg.
It's not just that, the tethered caps are usually redesigned versions of their untethered ancestors. As such, they often use less material than the original version, making them cheaper in the long run.
Or I'll just continue to rip them off as I do when in Germany.
Eh, it's alright. Some companies do it better than others.
The ones that do it well are the ones where you can easily rip it off.
They do it in Switzerland too.
Nobody would want an extra production line for such an small unimportant market

I just opened a bottle of coke and it didn't have it. The cap also has a swiss flag and it says "Swiss made", so they seem to have a extra production line already. But I guess it will be coming to smaller brands.
