[pct-l] Re: Poor man's Sigg bottle

I posted on this bottle a little while back when I noticed it was an
aluminum bottle.  Still not sure it is not a "sandwich" - aluminum on the
outside and the inside and plastic in between. I wrapped it with pipe
insulation and used it as a thermos.  A good plastic bottle would probably
have worked better as the aluminum conducts heat very well and the heat can
escape through the metal bottle cap.

I got the Raise drink just for the bottle.  It also has a slightly bigger
opening than most plastic pop bottles.  On my post I said that it was the
strangest tasting stuff I had ever tasted - couldn't decide whether it was
a fruit flavor or a vegetable or a combination".  If you have no idea what
a flavor is, I guess that is "techno"
