I done fucked up. I know some of my drink cups say handwash only, but I thought that was due to their vacuum chambers.

I assumed (wrongly) that these two bottles would be ok. They are clearly not made from whatever Nalgene is made from.

Meanwhile, I have some cheap vacuum wall plastic tumblers from Walmart, going on 15 years now, that I’ve always tossed in the dishwasher.

Also, I’m getting strong deja vu from my shrinky dink bottles. Have I done this before? Or seen a post on here if the same? I can’t recall.

Edit: hello adhd brain, I forgot to provide details. Red 1L Nalgene for scale. The two bottles beside it used to be the same size before yesterday. ☹️

    There used to be a show called Street Cents on CBC that focused on consumer and media awareness. On one episode, they torture tested Nalgene bottles.

    It’s been a while but if I’m remembering right, I watched them survive:

    • being thrown off a building
    • being run over by a bulldozer
    • being dipped in liquid nitrogen and hit with a hammer
    • being heated with a blow torch

    The lids broke in some of the tests, especially if they had liquid in them, but the bottles themselves are basically indestructible.

    I’ve seen a knock-off bottle break when somebody set a backpack down on it too hard.

      Nalgene bottles used to be made out of polycarbonate, a particularly robust plastic that they use for all manner of industrial things. Most safety glasses are polycarbonate, for example. It’s nigh indestructible and cheap as hell.

      Nalgene now uses a proprietary plastic they claim to be bpa free. It’s likely not as strong as it used to be but probably still quite tough

        Btw, LOVE your user name! I call my trusty roadies sippy cups too. I have a shoe organizer full hanging on the pantry door. It’s hard to resist an ultra cute sippy cup.
