Mr. Sausages Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Can't find any links, but I saw a thing on BBC breakfast news this morning about drinking water in plastic bottles becoming contaminated by household chemicals. Apparently, chemicals such as meths can actually seep through plastic, so can find their way from the bottle they are stored in, into any nearby bottle. Well known in the plastics industry, but they haven't felt the need to share this information. So don't keep your Vimto under the sink. Or Domestos in the fridge.

Great - contaminated mineral water is the quickest way to get rid of the middle classes! (according to Red Dwarf!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain jiggyflaps Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Also a little known but interesting fact, if you wrap processed cheese in clingfilm, the cheese absorbs polymer molecules from the clingfilm. enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesemonster2005 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 So, if I wrap the cheesemonster in clingfilm... If you do you'll find that I'm even fresher than usual and able to make more of my usual top-quality posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 So, back to the cheese thing, what are we supposed to wrap it in then? It'll just dry out with anything else won't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
