Many women are addicted top these cups, and middle school kids are being bullied for not having them.

Isn’t the Stanley Cup made out of silver?

Pb poisoning probably played a big part in driving the Romans mad.

I don’t even play hockey so I’m not too worried

How much ya wanna bet this Tamara Rubin is a hard core fan of electric cars? Remember, little black kids dying from this stuff in Africa counts for squat if it is for the righteous purpose.

I just have a feeling.

“400,000 to 600,000 [parts per million] lead”

Wow, that’s a lot of lead. Just kidding. That’s a normal Sn/Pb alloy. 40% to 60% lead. A tiny dot of that poison will sorrow you dead where you stand. Just kidding again.

I think I’m gonna go lick a bullet.

That’ll probably kill me. Nice knowing y’all.

Don’t eat them.

How bizarre that a company known mostly for its old-school vacuum bottles and lunchboxes (in hammertone green) could suddenly become pop-culture trendy.

They misspelled Led.

I’m sure I’ve gotten more lead exposure from car exhausts growing up than could ever get from these thermoses.

Basically, if you have a double walled glass vessel with a vacuum in between you have to leave a hole in it until the glass is cooled. Then you pump out the air and have to seal the hole to keep the vacuum from leaking out :-). That point is away from the liquid holding surface which is usually covered by plastic or steel anyway. If you rip the bottom off you might be able to get to the lead, but then you wouldn't want to use it for drinking anymore.

I could be wrong but almost every water bottle thermos and cup etc like this I’ve seen is made in China. I’ve yet to see something recent and for sale that isn’t. It’s one of those commodities that China has a almost a complete lock on. I recently ordered online a tumbler that is double walled and of course its from China.

There are other options -

Don’t touch .22 bullets or shoot, because you will definitely be around lead, and get it on your fingers, while loading.

Honest, I thought this post was about the Stanley Cup, a trophy given to a winning Hockey team
