I thought of this while pre-cutting the base of a plastic bottle cap with a knife so that, when I unscrew it, it comes off cleanly - like they used to - without sticking to the bottle or leaving behind sharp, poking bits. This is a thing in the EU nowdays, and obviously, this is the correct way to open them from now on.
Okay, now that one’s petty. Mostly because I like when either of those things happens. If it sticks to the bottle it’s like having one of those skinny bottle top rubber thingies to hold it on, and if the edges are sharp and pokey I get to feel them on my lips.

I usually just pop the ring off after I open the cap and toss it.
