Wow, was I stupid!
OK, so here's what happened...
I used to own a janitorial service years ago before baldness, bulges, bunions and butt boils.
Even after selling the business, I still used industrial cleaners for various household chores.
No problems there...except these products probably cause cancer, but I digress.

Anyway, these containers seem a waste to just throw away, so I had a fabulous idea!
Why not reuse them to store the juice I blend every other day - SMART...right?
I thought myself quite the genius!

So, I washed and rinsed the used container very well, then blended my fruits and veggies and poured the healthy mix into this toxic jug. The next morning I poured a glass and took a sip - OUCH!

My juice tasted just like Windex. It was horrible!
My wife found out what I did and just belly laughed before lecturing me on the dangers of chemical leech properties and plastic storage containers. She seemed to really enjoy my suffering. It made her day. :)

So, important safety note: don't store juice in a toxic container.
That is all...

    Most plastics absorb the chemicals. You're lucky you didn't get sick. :p

    I was worrying all day yesterday. And once you get used to the taste, it's not so bad.
    Maybe I could market this as a new form of body detox!

    Let us all be reminded that despite what the people on Extreme Cheapskates tell you, many things in this world are not resuable.
