[NYC_SKP]

7. But but but aren't they made in CHINA???

No, no grasshopper.

Many reuseable metals are, but (from the SIGG site):

All Aluminum SIGG bottles are made in Frauenfeld, Switzerland. Frauenfeld is one of the eight districts of the canton of Thurgau, Switzerland. Its capital, and the capital of Thurgau, is the city of Frauenfeld. For more information, please visit our ABOUT US page.

SIGG bottles are extruded from a single 'puck' of Aluminum, and can be recycled. Watch a video of our manufacturing process:

:patriot:

[Pierre.Suave]

[Pierre.Suave]

[Pierre.Suave]

39. Just some spelling help...

:P

[PaddyBlueEyes]

40. Oh crap

Eye kan speele reel goode, eye wentt two publick skool.

[Muttocracy]

28. nevermind - info I had was wrong.

I wish SIGG would say they don't use Bisphenol-A in their bottles That would make them cooler.

I'm trying to find a stainless steel bottle I like.

on edit - I had the wrong info

[Pierre.Suave]

30. it would be impossible for them to use Bisphenol-A

that is an ingredient in PLASTIC bottles, not metal...

[Muttocracy]

32. it's used as a liner in many metal products (including most canned goods). nt

[Pierre.Suave]

33. there is no liner in the SIGG bottles

Aluminum...

oops...:P

[Muttocracy]

34. You're right about the BPA - I found a page from SIGG about previous reports being wrong

http://www.reusablebags.com/store/images/Siggbpa.pdf

[Pierre.Suave]

36. Good

nice find.

[Muttocracy]

37. it does have a lining, though, just not BPA in it

http://www.sigg.com/en/about-sigg/knowledge-base/faq/

[kentauros]

60. Correct :)

from the SIGG FAQ at reusablebags.com

Please note: You may notice that the inside of your new SIGG aluminum bottle looks a little different than your old SIGG bottle. SIGG is currently transitioning from their old liner to a new liner (which looks milky yellow). Both liners have been thoroughly tested to ensure 0% leaching of any substance - no trace of BPA, BPB or any phthalates.

[NYC_SKP]

31. I'll say it. SIGG does not use Bisphenol A in their aluminum bottles.

That is of concern only with polycarbonate (plastic) bottles.

Bisphenol A, commonly abbreviated as BPA, is an organic compound with two phenol functional groups. It is a difunctional building block of several important polymers and polymer additives. With an annual production of 2–3 million tonnes, it is an important monomer in the production of polycarbonate.

[Muttocracy]

35. found new info posted above - SIGG doesn't use it, though others do. nt

[redqueen]

55. Dangit.

At Radiohead's tour last year they were selling these bottles with the Radiohead logo and I bought one but then thought it might be lined with that stuff and returned it. Ah well.

[Muttocracy]

68. it's hard to know what to believe in this crazy world... nt

[kentauros]

42. Oh yeah! Right here:

Klean Kanteen :D


This place also sells them and SIGG bottles :)

reusablebags.com

[MajorChode]

45. Bottled beer, sliced bread, skittles, electric guitars, and internet pron...

but I'm not sure about the first 4.

[leftyclimber]

46. Nalgenes.

The original ones, not those Lexan jobs.

SIGG water bottles dent and the inside liner breaks when you accidentally shut the trunk lid on them (or so I hear). Nalgenes don't.

Just sayin'.

[Pierre.Suave]

51. Nalgenes have a toxic substance in them, some were pulled off of store shelves because of it

They have Bisphenol-A in them.

Seriously.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisphenol_A

[leftyclimber]

59. Those are the Lexan ones.

I've chucked all of those, including the Easter Island head water bottle, which I was very sad to part with. :(

The non-Lexan ones don't have BPA in them; they're made of a different material. As many water bottles as we own/owned (there are only 4 in the house right now), I went rather bananas when this BPA thing came out and threw away any that were made of poison. :)

[Pierre.Suave]

63. Good

Don't want you building up toxic substances in your body.

[leftyclimber]

65. It was like a water bottle pogrom, I tell you.

Very depressing.

[arcadian]

47. It wasn't invented.

It's just a fuel canister for a backpacking stove. They have been selling them for years.

[Iggo]

48. Screws and screwdrivers.

With the beautiful modification that is the Phillips head screw and screwdriver.

[Bake]

57. I'd like to murdalize the SOB that invented the Phillips head screw!!

Especially the fucker that put it on a cheap, soft metal screw that strips out every time you try to turn it.

Bake

[Iggo]

61. I used to keep a whole box of those tiny ones...

...for switching out tuners. When the X changes to a circle, it's gotta go...lol.

[NJmaverick]

49. What is a SIGG water bottle?

[kentauros]

58. "SIGG reusable bottles

"are ultra-lightweight, durable, great-looking, 100% recyclable and, most importantly, safe. We feature a range of styles and sizes - from colorful Kids bottles to cool Lifestyle Designs & Traveler / Sport bottles to SIGG Stainless Steel, there's a SIGG style for everyone."

http://www.reusablebags.com/store/sigg-c-33.html?osCsid=51608eda9c3dd942f4cfa2b97b7d8f1c

:)

I use stainless steel Klean Kanteen brand bottles instead. Whole Foods sells the SIGG bottles, so I got to have a close look at them before deciding and I didn't like what I saw and felt. They are very thin, all aluminum, which also means an interior plastic coating to prevent acidic substances from leaching more aluminum into your diet than is safe. At the same time, that coating is often not a safe kind of coating, though I know SIGG is aware of this and isn't using those types of coatings. Still, all it takes is a scratch through the coating and the leaching will occur. Whereas stainless is inert with no coating :D

Mostly, I did not like how thin they were and easily damaged.

[Lost in CT]

54. Breasts

Which the Sigg water bottle obviously substitutes for.

[cloudbase]

56. The Flossmate.

No moving parts.
Looks good.
Fits well in the hand.
Makes what you're doing easier and neater.
Simple construction.
Inexpensive.

Perfection in design and engineering.

[KitchenWitch]

62. I don't know, I am kind of partial to arthroscopic surgery!

[Pierre.Suave]

64. PFFFFTTTTTT

WHo needs that when you can get a cool, safe, and fun SIGG water bottle...

:P

:hug: are you feeling better today?

[KitchenWitch]

66. Meh

I think it is time to change up the antidepressants...
