    Re: Half Century Old Brown Plastic Bottles Still OK?

    I've found all things Arkay unacceptable. Ordinary rinsed out soda jugs are way more serious plastic. After all, they're made to contain dilute carbonic acid. Throw a pulled tooth into a jug of Coca Cola and watch it slowly dissolve over the months. As far a glass bottle potential breakage, you can get the kind with clear plastic shrink coatings over them, which will at least prevent shattered glass pieces flying around all over the floor. But I'd don't do a juggler act with bottles outside the sink area anyway. New brown glass bottles are cheap enough by the case (or the clear variety), so I don't personally resort to rotting my own teeth out drinking Mountain Dew just to get a hazmat-worthy plastic bottle.

    I bought gallon, half gallon, and quart brown glass bottles from Photographer's Formulary. Well packed and not too expensive either. In fact I reordered and I'm set for a good while with spares. Easy Peasy.
