Same here... 
the bottle top thing seemed to happen overnight, a law was passed that all single use bottles had to have an attached cap, it was 3rd July this year, thing is every single company seemed to do it and didnt have any old stock on the shelves
Its only recently it happened, its not like some started to be attached and some didnt leading up to July
It must have cost millions to have all the bottle top manufacturers change all their moulding equipment
Thing is, I always used to put tops back on bottles before this change, now I tear them off and throw them away seperatly in protest.
