Plastic jugs

Plastic

— a lightweight and shatterproof alternative to glass for home, cottage, and picnic use: the vessel doesn't break, barely adds weight to the table, and is safer in children's hands. Modern food polymers like Tritan and polypropylene do not cloud quickly, maintain transparency and the taste of the drink, and when labeled as BPA-free, do not contain bisphenol A; however, compared to glass and porcelain, plastic scratches more easily, can absorb odors, and is less resistant to very hot liquids, so boiling water and aggressive dyes should be avoided, and washing in a dishwasher should only be done if permitted by the manufacturer. Functionally, such a pitcher is convenient for chilled water with mint, lemonade, fruit drinks, and juices, and its light weight and high impact resistance make the dishware practical for daily use and storage in the refrigerator.
