Glass Bottles Or Plastic?

[Minty The Fox]

Ah, remember the days when Milk bottles and Coca Cola bottles were glass? they were hardcore. I don't see why they went really, it sucks, i much preferred the glass ones.
;(

 

[Dog--]

My milk comes in bags.

GO CANADA!

 

[Raziaar]

For soda bottles, I've always preferred glass, when I can... and especially enjoy for example, Sobe bottles.

But for drinking water I've always used plastic 2 liter soda bottles, and reused them sometimes for months at a time.

Now I've changed that just today, and I'm going to try drinking purely from glass now, no plastic at all. Especially with the worry of leeching chemicals that I've been entirely unaware of.

 

[Hellrider]

Milk comes in (small) cardboard boxes or in bags over here.

 

[Dog--]

Over there in Antarctica. Doesn't it freeze?

 

[Hellrider]

We have special thermal bags\boxes, so no.

 

[MJ12]

Well IMO everything tastes better out of a glass bottle, but if we are talking about convenience and cost, then plastic is obviously going to win.

 

[Jintor]

Glass mother****ing wins for sheer awesome.

Convenience and cost is obviously plastics, but man. Glass is rad.

 

[Atomic_Piggy]

Glass. The glass coke bottles look seriously awesome, and you feel like a man when you drink out of them.

Really?

I prefer plastic anyways. Lighter and safer to bring with you anywhere.

Plus you could smash a glass bottle off a table and say 'wanna fight' to someone, then you get to be in a super cool slo-mo kung-fu scene.

With milk bags, you jsut slam it off their heads and they get pissed at you for getting milk all over them

Unless you are going to a homeless shelter, then you'll need a class bottle for stabbing.

We (re)use glass for water at home (the glass milk jugs that Straus milk comes in). Our tapwater rocks, so we fill these up and set them in the window for a day, and let the chlorine (and any other dissolved gases) bubble out, then we put them in the 'fridge. For bike rides and whatnot, we have waterbags.

 

[kineaesth]

Coke in glass is nicer, in general plastic is easier.

 

[Bad^Hat]

Glass. Can't really say why, it's just nicer to drink out of.

Also, wtf, Minty the Fox?

 

[Naph]

Also, wtf, Minty the Fox?

I was thinking the same thing.
The sig is a bit unnerving.

The Glass bottle, just because you feel cool holding one.

 

[Blinxx]

We still get our milk delivered in glass bottles.

Hurray for old schooling.

Plastic bottles has been scientifically proven to oxidize under the sun's UV light and make an already unhealthy soft drink even more unhealthy.

Not that I drink "syrup and carbonation" anyways. Sodas are nasty.

Glass is superior however, but much more cumbersome to carry around for jogs, so I always pour bottled water into a oxidation proof canteen before going on long jogs.

While glass is nice, I have a problem recycling them around here (it's not that I don't know where to... I just don't have a car at school and the bus doesn't go there). I accumulate so many glass tea bottles that I can't reuse them all. I thought about trying out some glass etching on them, but the fluoridated chemicals you have to use for that sound pretty dangerous. Maybe I could save one for drinking water, but the tap water around here doesn't taste very good.

Anyways, I end up getting plastic because I know where to find the recycling bins for it.

Maybe you could ask around and talk with your peers. If others who use lots of glass want to recycle, maybe you can get a huge collection together and someone who has a car and feels like helping can take them.

GLASS BITCH! GLASS GLASS GLAAAAAAAAASS!



capsownedlol

 

[Unfocused]

The 0,2l (I think) Coke in a glass bottle is pure win.

On a side note, I've got a shitload of empty plastic water bottles in my room and in the trunk of my car, but for some reason they removed the three spots I knew where you could dispose of them. What the **** guys.

 

[CyberPitz]

Easier to manage and a chance of breaking is very small. Plastic ftw.

 

[Kula Meenur]

But it spoils the taste Pitzy

 

[Stigmata]

Glass is better for the environment.

 

[JNightshade]

Glass makes everything taste better. Even glass.

 

[Atomic_Piggy]

Also, wtf, Minty the Fox?

...

Am I to late to join in?

 

[Sheepo]

Wtf you being afraid of me and commenting on my profile?

Who are YOU!?!?!?!11!?!!///1!?1//1/!?1?!?!?1//1

 

[Iron Kat]

Where's the option for both? I like both. I can't choose.

Life is unhealthy, you die from it.

 

[Ren.182]

Glass all the way. But seeing as most things come in plastic now I've not really got a choice.
And coke that comes in a glass bottle is expensive o:

We still get our milk delivered in a glass bottle too!

 

[Kadayi]

At work being the environmental treehuggers that we are, we've actually started to get our milk delivered in glass bottles again (hazzah!!), which is kind of ace as we go through at least eleventy hundred pints of milk a week (there are some serious tea habits to maintain)

 

[morgs]

It is in my opinion that coke tastes 100% better out of a glass bottle

You get milk at work? All I ever got was peppermints and we ran out and they were never replaced.

 

[mocho loco]

i really dont mind any of them really

 

[joule]

Plastic doesn't shatter, it's lighter, resealable, and more fun.

 

[Asuka]

Glass tastes way better.

 

[Raziaar]

I frequently eat glass. Tasty stuff.

 

[Beerdude26]

Glass bottles ftw, plastic is just bleh. Too bad you can hardly buy glass soft drinks except from the brewery

 

[V-Man339]

Haven't read the thread, but I'm seeing retro bottles in some of the gas stations here of Dr. Pepper and Coka Cola.
