Metallic tasting food or drink products

[Revoltingest]

I typically stay away from all aluminum drinks and plastic is only good cold. After plastic is warmed up a bit it also gets a taste. I prefer glass but will drink plastic that's cold

I prefer aluminum (AL) because I know it will be recycled.
Most plastic, even the recyclable kind isn't.

A Whopping 91 Percent of Plastic Isn’t Recycled

Billions of tons of plastic have been made of the past decades, and much of it is becoming trash and litter, finds the first analysist of the issue.

BTW, raw AL ore takes far far more energy
to make new AL than does recycled AL.

How have you lived to be over 100?

Clean thoughts.
(I avoid them like the plague.)

Glass is highly recyclable. It can always be melted and remade. Its heavy, so its harder to package things in. We probably should move that direction, because microplastic is getting everywhere and into everything. Its not the topic, but apparently 16 types of microplastics were found in 1980 during an excavation 7 meters deep in undisturbed soil. Somehow these things got down there, and the soil sample was kept and recently tested for plastics. If true this is very frightening.

Glass technology is also advancing rapidly,
& could offer cheaper more durable containers
that are just as easily recycled as current glass.
Maybe this product will hit the market...

LionGlass: New Type of Glass That’s Greener and 10x More Damage Resistant

Globally, glass manufacturing emits at least 86 million tons of carbon dioxide annually. However, a new type of glass called LionGlass, developed by Penn State researchers, offers the potential to reduce this carbon output by 50%. Not only does this innovative glass demand considerably less energy f

Or your mercury fillings.

Damn these.

If you start hearing a radio broadcast, it's probably time to stop drinking. ;0)

I realize the AL is better for the planet, but not for my taste buds. We've banned plastic bags and straws, if people were really worried they would ban plastic bottles and just eat the cost of glass which is also recyclable.

It's as if we didn't live without plastic for hundreds of thousands of years and managed just fine.....

But it's in all our modern gear now, especially electronics, and is incredibly hard to replace, so I don't advocate no-plastic - just less.

We also have plastic eating microorganisms so I'm not really concerned.

Things evolve in line with their environment and quite quickly, like those animals at Chernobyl.

I never mix bacon & sardines.
That wouldn't be kosher.

Dad liked sardines. My brothers and I loved to guess how many were in each can. That's about where my sardine 'fun' ended. How do you eat them, straight up, on toast, in sandwiches, or in salads?

I eat sardines packed in Louisiana hot sauce right out of the can.
Kippered herring usually out of the can, but sometimes I put it
on warm rice or farro.

I have tried some of that. I prefer boneless if possible. Sardines often have lots of bones. Also the brand seems to matter a lot.

I've never noticed the bones.
I buy Beach Cliff sardines from Menards.
I prefer them to Bumble Bee.
My herrings are Brunswick.

I have to fillet them when the cats are having a sardine treat.

Easy to do, slice along the underside and remove the spine.

Also do it when we are joining the cats and having sardines (on toast) for lunch
