Just Don't Get It @lemmy.tf sabreW4K3 @lemmy.tf 1y ago

Why don't we swap plastic reusable water bottles for gourds?

We can grow gourds endlessly and don't have to worry about plastic not decomposing, etc.

try cleaning one.. or try verifying one is clean inside. why not rock an insulated tumbler that seals and use it for years?
- Serious answer: my sister has been pushing me to get one. But she introduced the concept to me with a bottle of tequila inside. The hangover the next day wasn't nice at all. I do have a question though as you seem more trustworthy than my sister 😭 can I stick them in the freezer should I need to make something cold quickly?
  
  Not so serious answer: because I want to be a drunken master!
  
  Freezing water will break insulated bottles but why would you put insulated anything in a freezer? You will not get anything cold quick by putting in a freezer in an insulated container
  
  In Brazil we drink mate from cuias, but they're made of wood and so very hard to clean. First time I used one I cleaned it with soap and let it dry upside down on my counter, woke up to find it completely mouldy.
  
  Don't trust anything but metal for hygiene.
Easier to clean and sterilize, mostly.
