Probably a bad idea. The big economies of the eurozone have been in constant stagnation for the last 15 years. To me it seems that Bulgaria has jumped on Titanic on Qweenstown. I do hope that I am wrong, but those are the same people that made the plastic caps permanently attached to the bottles.

It's still hilarious to me how upset people are at this (or at least pretend to be).

My question is - who is buying all these drinks?

I haven't bought anything in plastic bottle for years. Most drinks are either glass or cans.

Milk cartons also have plastic caps for example, despite being primarily made out of paper.

But just because you don't drink soft drinks or bottled mineral water much, doesn't mean others don't either.
