F##K OFF, worried about BPA's and food grade, most the crap you buy is from china, i doubt they have food grade quality stuff, every week their is a recall on something that has lead paint or something that was made in china, and kids put dirt and all kinds of stuff in their mouths.

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE BPA???

Outcome was totally expected, but the execution was much better than anticipated.

I think I'll wait 20 years before eating food from these containers to see what the health effects are.

BPA turned out really well.........

BPA causes "sexual disfunciton"

Someone spent a lot on this, couldn't be bothered to spell check...

Fun fact, most thermal paper receipts (the vast majority of receipts you'll ever touch) are coated with BPA.

Howdy - sorry for the delay, was traveling on business. The issue you are referring to below with regards to reusable water bottles is I believe related to the type of liner (thin coating of polymer based material that is coated on the inside of some but not all of these bottles). In most cases when polymers come in contact with food (incl. water) the concerns are usually not in the polymer itself, but in some of the additives (processing aids, plasticizers, anti-oxidants, UV stabilizers, pigments etc) that in some cases have negative impacts on some human metabolic processes. I would emphasize 'some'. The recent outrage over BPA is not supported unequivocally by scientific evidence, but there is enough uncertainty to move away from it as a plasticizer in PET bottles. If one was to use a food grade polyethylene or polypropylene water bottle, requiring no liner, and totally suitable as a water bottle, then there is no concern at all with the long term use of this material in water bottles. Next time you go through the grocery store, have a look at all the packaging - films on processed meets, stretch wrap on fresh meat cuts, all of your cold dairy products - the vast majority of these are made from one of either polyethylene or polypropylene, with a smattering of polystyrene and polyvinylidene chloride thrown in. All perfectly safe.

As for how the balls are made - these are blow molded. If you have a look at the plastic baseballs made for kids that come with a big fat plastic bat (or really any hard plastic ball that you might find at Wal Mart or Toys'R'Us, you'll see the small ridge that runs equatorially around the circumference of the ball (that's the parting line where the two mold halves come together) and somewhere on that line there will be either a little tiny hole or a small protruding knob that used to be the parison where the air was injected into the small plastic glob forcing it to the walls of the mold like an expanding balloon. This is the same type of molding that makes your liquid dishwashing detergent bottle, plastic ketchup and mustard containers, and plastic milk jugs. Hope this helps a bit. cheers

However, most thermal paper have BPAs so they are killing us all.

At the food coop where I work, we searched hard to find non-BPA paper. Which is expensive.

Ah yes but I remember how expensive thermal paper is, how quickly it fades, and how much it sucks. I think I might give this product a miss.
This article disagrees, ironically from a company called POS Paper, so maybe they're projecting.

it's "a guy looks AT a girl"

so he looks at her and wants to ride her, then she "gallops" in the space betwixt his legs. clearer?

Say what???

jwray: Aquafina tastes much more strongly of chlorine than my tap water. And the only states that don't add fluoride to their drinking water have a much higher rate of tooth decay.

Rubbish, plenty of countries that don't fluoridate water or salt have lower rates of tooth decay than us. There isn't even any correlation between water fluoridation and lower tooth decay among populations that regularly use fluoridated toothpaste. EPA admits the entire benefit is posteruptive and topical. There is no reason to ingest a treatment that acts topically.

>> ^direpickle:

And if you're super-terrified of chemicals, what do you think you're ingesting when you're drinking water out of plastic bottles? Haven't you noticed that the water tastes like the plastic?

I actually don't use any plastic bottles. I use glass or stainless steel for a variety of reasons:
1. More durable
2. Easier to clean (primarily due to being permanently very smooth, unlike plastic which is easily scratched)
3. Cheaper in the long run
4. Possible avoidance of BPA and other toxic chemicals that can leech out of plastic.

>> ^direpickle:

Anyway, some bottled water tastes good, but I don't buy it unless there's no free water to be had. But Aquafina and Dasani are just disgusting.

They don't really have any taste at all. I don't know what you're talking about.

I see a bigger problem than tap vs bottled...it's plastic bottles vs glass or metal (which is slightly different). That BPA and other estrogenic compounds are nasty things...and it seems that most, if not all, brands of bottled water appear to be chock full of 'em.
