Thanks so much Jolt. I didn't know they made these kinds! I'm excited see what I'm drinking again! I swear, Nalgene bottles were some kind of right of passage at my Uni. It seemed like everyone and their Mom had one hanging off their backpack or sitting on their desk.

I went on the Nalgene site yesterday to shop around and apparently they're making BPA-free hard plastic bottles. Other companies also make them like Camelbak and Aladdin. The new plastic is called Eastman Tritan copolyester.
