    first thing that sprung to my mind as well. damn society's fearmongering.

    Most likely, BPA is generally only in polycarbonate plastics not soft flexible plastics which are a lot more likely to be PP or HDPE

      a lot more likely to be PP

      depends on how much water you drink…

    Three things:

    1. Every kind of food-grade plastic material leeches some compounds into water and other liquids/foods stored inside. None of them are good for human consumption.

    2. Even explicitly BPA-free labelled plastics are often not BPA-free.

    3. The presence of leachates is only worsened if the plastic containers themselves are subjected to heat, light or rough handling.

  had drink bottles for 38c. I purchased one and it went through as 29c. Looks about 750ml to me.

  It's 38c per litre… Works out at 29c for 750ml….

    I really don't think the majority of people living in that area are capable of working that out.

    Im from lizbef..

    What if i told you at 38c per L, it would work out to be 28.5c per 750mL. In any case the tag clearly shows 38c per bottle

      what if i told you…
      you cant pay 0.5 cents so it would work out to be 29c

  I might grab one of those mugs if I pass by …

  I've got a couple thermoses but nothing to pour into.
