Those milky gallon plastic water bottles + heat = major melted-plastic taste. It's awful, truly awful. Freshly filled three days earlier.

I feel it depends on the plastic- PET#1 (thin bottles referred to above) versus HDPE#2 (milky jug referred to above) versus LDPE#4 (I think Gatorade uses #4?)- all have different reactions to different liquids, in my opinion.............

But I would love to see real evidence on the plastic leaching into the water ongoing debate. I can't find anything- this came up on another thread and it seemed we could find no empirical data. I thought it had been debunked. I seem to always find only data that states the opposite- it is the quality of the fluid, not the container, in most cases, right?

Snopes says no?

Debunked?

I still feel safe! Not!

Ya dude, heard you the first time ... "and don't play that piano!" ... I think I have that on 8-track, which is kinda embarrassing in itself ... :-)

I like Ribena, and have 4 2-litre bottles of it stockpiled. Should last me for a few months.
