Is everything slowly failing?

You shouldn't drink that after the sun has warmed it enough to leech the hideous plastic toxins into the soda anyway. Switch to glass, it tastes better and it wont piss on your seats.
 
I understand what you're saying but if I really buy into that, I have to say, I'm already dead. It's sort of like what people say and believe about second hand smoke. Which I don't believe it's as horrible for you as they claim. I mean, I grew up in a house where both my parents smoked. For the first eleven years of my life I was stuck in a house with both of them puffing away. Then my Dad developed...DRUMROLL! LUNG CANCER! Eventually, he died and my mother continued on smoking and didn't quit until years after I moved away from home at 18 or 19. If what they say is true, I was doomed anyway.

So, it's sort of like all of the plastic leaching claims from soda bottles to other foodstuffs and drink containers. Think about it. You think sitting in my car was the first hot shot that Mountain Dew received? (It might have been the HOTTEST though. :D) No way, they don't refrigerate that stuff going across the country, it has been heated and cooled down and heated up again more times than you can count on both hands. Which makes me wonder how they are dealing with this particular problem now that the bottle stock is thinner or whatever is causing this.

My point is, those toxins, real or imagined, are out in all of those containers. Including the ones that have healthier stuff in them.

Perhaps we have so soiled our nest that we're really going to get it one day, I don't know. I try not to be fearful of everything that comes down the pike.
 
Agreed, the world is so contaminated by convenience that it's impossible to avoid every "bad" thing out there. I still say glass tastes better though...OMG THERE COULD BE LEAD IN THAT GLASS ;)
 
Part of it is cultural - we don't insist that things last and don't appear to be willing to pay a little extra for things that do. So we get what we apparently "want."
 
I know they have been making plastic bottles with less material now days, but it seems like your problem might be with the seal on the cap. Unless the plastic bottles are exploding apart?
