What are you drinking?

[anthrobabe]

I remember glass baby bottles, as the girls got juice and very thin cereals added to the diet when about 6 months old we had 4 ounce glass bottles, in fact I think I made banks out of them as they got older-- they were always so nice, and I never managed to break any of them, run them through the dishwasher (my hands and hot water  - and they were sparkling.

now everything is plastic--- ugh! but I saw some glass bottles at a 'specialty store' the othe day-- sigh it is bad when good old glass is a specialty item

and I agree- something must be done to salvage the wild bee population, I think it is the wild populations that are in the most critical trouble and they are the influx of new genetics that all healthy polpulations need--- but then again I may be incorrect

Now glass seems to be mainly used for mustard*, sausages and (pickled) cucumbers.

*Those glasses are pretty useful because they are intended to be used as drinking glasses once they are empty of their original content.

Plastic is resistant while thin and -so far- very cheap. As oil keeps rising in cost glass will come back.

The one thing that seems to have vanished for good is the metal beverage can (at least over here)

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

You mean the typical aluminum can? Now that I think about it, last year I didn't see many of those in France or Italy. Here in the states are extremely ubiquitous.

Given the amount of power required to process aluminum its use should be limited to less wasteful industries though.

[Scriblerus the Philosophe]

Indeed.



What else but coffee?

[Sibling Chatty]

Drinking iced tea.

It's the house wine of the South...

[Swatopluk]

Chamomile tea with a wee bit too much sugar (although it is about a third of what I used to put in a few years ago)

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Cheap Bordeaux

H₂0, enhanced wiv mint fresh from thee garrrdin.

[Sibling Chatty]

Same beverage, but mine has a Schnauzer hair in it from the Large Economy Sized Lap Dog that wants to sit ON Mommy, not WITH Mommy.

Mint's probably better...

[Alpaca]

Picking up dad from the airport tonight, so I didn't have a taste, but among the beverages served at dinner tonight was some sort of Mexican liquor that came in a bottle shaped like some sort of deformed Buddha.

[Aphos]

A nice cuppa orange flavored tea.  Ummmmmmmmmmmmm.

[Swatopluk]

the chamomile tea again. This time the sugar dose was adjusted a bit better

[pieces o nine]

Ice-cold pomegranate juice.

Luxury!
