​alright grandad, now you're going to start your next message with "you know, in my days..."

son bought it all cracked first day I gave him for school... terrible quality

That only applies if the pencil was painted, not all of them were.

It is bpa free

Thanks op! Nice find!! Ordered!!!

Not in the graphite, but they did once contain lead in the paints used to paint the outer coating, if you chew on a pencil you could well ingest such paint.

You are aware that "lead" pencils have never, ever contained any lead, aren't you?

Uh-huh. I eagerly await footage of you doing that while on the move, walking, running, cycling, whatever.

Sheesh.

The difference between plumbing and water bottles is that the water is not in extended, stagnant contact with the material for many hours (potentially in hot cars, etc).

The trend has been that just as soon as they find out a synthetic organic compound (like BPA) is dangerous and start making products without it en masse, the replacement compound is also found to be dangerous. I don't recall exactly what it was, but I believe BPA was originally a replacement for another compound or plastic formula that turned out to be carcinogenic.

See http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/bpa-free-plastic-containers-may-be-just-as-hazardous/

Anyway, this is why I feel strongly it's important to just use materials that are naturally inert and we've been using for millennia: glass, ceramic, clay, etc. Especially now that new techniques and technologies are creating, e.g., glass bottles that won't shatter even on second or third bounce.

How do you get your Wi-Fi to work through the bubble your living in?

Once upon a time... children could be found chewing on lead pencils, cocaine could be found in coca cola and asbestos could be found just about everywhere - that was until our scientists determined that maybe that wasn't such a good thing (I just have to take their word for it as I am not a scientist).
So I don't have a Daily Mail quote for you but I do have this report which you can read and see why there may be concerns regarding the plastics used for drinking water.

What is it? :neutral_face:

BPA free?

Thanks, been looking out for these, but why aren't they dishwasher safe?

Thanks op, ordered 4.

good find op, heat added
