"So Canadian people have, like, ten fingers on their arms?" -Dennis, 03/25/2007

I bought a bottle of juice the other day, and after I had drunk the juice, I filled it with ice and water. As I was drinking my icewater, I noticed the bottle had been labeled, in large print, "Do Not Reuse". Assuming they meant the bottle and not the juice itself, that's really creepy. Plus, who makes durable one-time-use containers? Coke, apparantly. Didn't notice that until I scanned the bottle for other weird things.

Yeah, plastic bottles have been found to be bad for reuse. If you wash them, the plastic starts to break down and release chemicals into your beverage to give you cancer. If you don't wash them, bacteria build up in the bottle to give you infectious diseases.

So recycle them, but don't reuse them too much.
