? I have never seen a bottle of cooking oil with a cap like that. Maybe it's a British thing.

Or much of anything else, either. A few odd things like rice vinegar and sesame oil have pull-top caps, but you don't have to put anything back in to get a slow-pour; the opening is already designed that way.

We have the same bottles in France and I've seen them in other neighboring countries so maybe a (Western) European thing then. Although they're a little old school nowadays I'd say. And I don't think you're supposed to put it back. It's kinda of a trick for bottles which are badly designed and have wide openings. I'm not sure the pulled part will stay in place.

It seems like a recipe for disaster--at any point, it could fall out and then suddenly you've drenched whatever you're working on in oil (and a plastic thing).

This, exactly :)

We've got them all over the place in Canada. They're a little more common for olive oil bottles than they are for canola or vegetable oil.
