it’s wild how plastic went from a medical miracle to something some people use and dispose of every single day. It’s pretty much unavoidable.
I bought one bottle of coke years ago and have been using it as a water bottle ever since. Thank you German tap water standards.
Bruh throw that out, I’m pretty sure those leech stuff into your water because they’re not designed to last that long, especially with cleaning
It has only contained tap water after the coke ran out, why would I need to clean it ever?
1: even if it were a glass bottle you should regularly clean it with a bottlebrush because receptacles can develop mold, bacteria, or fungus if not cleaned properly. Sometimes it’s not visible to the naked eye
2: if it’s plastic, get rid of it. plastic bottles degrade quickly and are not meant to be reused. The long polymer molecules that plastic is made out of breaks up, and your water becomes increasingly contaminated with microplastics (broken polymers) as you reuse the container.
Bruh, throw that out, some dudes are worried you might get some microplastics or some bullshit, even though the water itself likely contains more, because we live in hell, and apparently microplastics in the water supply is cool and good.
Fortunately, the Boer War is over.
Millennials were absolutely the “raised on bottled water” generation. I know multiple people who essentially never drank anything except bottled water because southern California tap water was so yucky.
Happy to say I was gifted an overpriced steel water bottle from one of those name brands and I’ve used it daily for several years
I’m so thankful my university had a bunch of good water dispensers (and normal fountains, of course) around campus that were designed to refill bottles. For a few years basically my only source of water was the canteen I carried with me to campus to drink out of.
Isn’t that a crazy thought? A bottle I could reuse, because I was offered a good way to reuse it.
