    The bottles are very sturdy and even survive my dishwasher, although sometimes the rim/lid connection is a little wobbly afterwards. I don’t care, because at that point it’s only water, sunshine will dry it. If you just fill it with fresh water without washing, the water has a hint of the old flavor which can be nice too.

      please don’t dishwash or expose single-use plastics to sunlight and then reuse them. There are legitimate reasons why you aren’t supposed to refill the cheapest types of plastic containers.

        The filling and sterile-sealing process in the factory is just as bad, so we already drank a bunch of microplastics the first time. At my age I’m mostly plastics, insecticides, lead and asbestos. When the alien bug people come, feed me to them first, maybe they’ll die.
