A drink

[franceslievens]

Because I was getting annoyed with the too large plastic drinking bottle I've been carrying to school the last couple of years, I finaly invested in something stylish and smaller:

This one's only 0.6l, but that's enough when you've got plenty of options to refill it with tap water. It's oval shaped and fits in my handbag (and looks a bit like those pocket brandy bottles). And most of all, it won't get as smelly as the plastic bottle, because I can rinse it with boiling hot water.

I always save those 0.5l Evian or Coke, etc plastic bottles and fill them with tap water so that I've always got something to drink with me, but that flask looks awfully handy. And cleanable!

I used to do that as well, but after a while they get smelly -- as does my plastic drinking bottle.

According to the promo-talk this one is coated on the inside, so whatever you put in there, you can clean it out very easily, and it's got a longer life span.

It's Swiss btw. You should have one, just because. ;-)

Hmm, I've seen the SIGG bottles around but I've never managed to convince myself that they actually work - I'm always afraid that water will taste of metal or that if you put orange juice in it you won't be able to get rid of the smell later.

If you're still happy with it in a month or too, let me know, then I'll get one too.

P. has a got a fake SIGG bottle since 1995. He never had any problems with it, though I think he only ever put water in there.

Normally boiling hot water would get rid of the smell or taste of orange juice...

The water I brought with me from home did taste better than the tap water at school. It doesn't taste of metal, though you taste the bottle a bit, but that isn't any different from another metal cup or metal cutlery.

I'll keep you updated.
