Nissan Stainless-Steel 1-Pint Carbonated Bottle

 Rating:  - 8-Hour FizzI've been using the 1-pint carbonated bottle for a couple of days and its 1-liter big brother for a couple of weeks now, and have found them to be almost perfect for keeping soda cold and fizzy. Fill them up, drop in a single ice cube, and you'll have cold, non-flat soda for at least eight hours. They come with a double screw-top: the smaller top section unscrews for drinking, and the larger (red section in the 1-pint version) for filling and adding ice. Full-size cubes won't fit without some re-sizing, but the slice-shaped product of refrigerator ice-makers fits perfectly. The drink opening is about 3/4" in diameter, while the fill opening is about 1 1/2" wide. The only slight drawback I've encountered is that it takes a couple of tries to completely fill them from a 2-liter Coke bottle because of foaming, but that problem is common to all stainless-steel containers. The top includes a safety gasket, similar to the safety gasket in some pressure cookers, for those who ignore the instructions and leave the bottle out in the hot sun for extended periods with highly-carbonated beverages. Finally, the bottles are intended ONLY for cold beverages, as use with hot beverages apparently can result in leakage and scalding. Rating:  - Pretty Good Bottle!While looking for a way to have a cold drink without paying obscene prices for water at my university, I stumbled upon this container. At first I did not know what to think about its effectiveness in maintaining a very cold bottle of water, but I purchased it anyway. After receiving the 16-ounce version from Ebay, I quickly realized that my water remained relatively cold for at least 1 day. I was shocked and amazed that such an inexpensive item could maintain such a low temperature for a long period of time. Yet problems occurred. For one, the opening is way too small to fit any kind of regular sized ice cubes, sometimes a metallic taste is observed in the water if not washed for a few days, the rubber around the bottle begins to slip off if you spill water on it (as I have many times trying to aim for that little hole), and finally it is not leak proof. Those are not such grave concerns since I put in extra small ice cubes, try to wash it often, better my aim at small openings, and not keep the bottle upside down. In addition, by not being leak proof I mean that during the day one may notice that the bottle would have some kind of ring of water around the mouth even when closed, but at least the whole thing did not sweat out water just as a regular water bottle would. Nevertheless it is sturdy since I have dropped it several times and have seen no dents or scratches and it is an added bonus for this container to keep soda crisp. For those that want a quick and handy water bottle that is perfect in every way, this is not it, but it comes close. I recommend going for something with a bigger opening and a guarantee to be leak proof, however if the issues above do not seem so dreadful, this bottle will be fine. Rating: - AWESOMEThis bottle is attractive, easy to clean, just the right size and best of all, it REALLY works. Carbonated beverages stay carbonated for hours and hours. The contents stay cold and bubbly for what seems like forever, the outside doesn't sweat and it fits in a car or carseat cup holder. I love it and I will be buying several for gifts. If you have any use for a water bottle, this is the one to own.
