plastics

Lets share something useful here.

Some of you may know about this, some of you dont.

Ever realize the numbers in a small triangle under the mineral bottles you guys drink from?

Do you know what the numbers stands for?

Guessing it's for Recycling?
Well, then your answer is....................

WRONG.

The number actually tells you the chemical used to make the plastic.
and what most of you dont know is that,

Many plastics used are toxic.
and the chemical used to manufacture them can "leach" out of the plastic into the food/drinks esp. when it's hot.

Ever heard a friend of you complaining, "This water taste like plastic" or "so is this Roti John/Satay , it taste funny, like plastic"

newsflash: It is plastic. hehe.

Unbelievable? Believe it by clicking this -> Plastic code
