They're vaccum bottles, just like a glass lined thermos is. *Ther

Wow! *I thought the stainless would be very poor at maintaining

Hello, Wayne,
I went into Target today as Boron recommended she had 'ordered on
line' the Nissan, but a bird-in-the-hand was there, and they had a
large selection of Stanleys. *I certainly liked the looks of them;
however, I was not pleased with the plastic inside the drinking cups
(smelly) - I would rather have had the ss lining inside the cups vs.
outside where the ss actually is.
However, I did like them enough and decided on and bought these - a 17
oz. food thermos, and a .5 qt. slimmer thermos.

Another purchase decision attributed to Wayne's help -- thanks so
much.

Glad you like the Stanley, Dee. *I've owned one since I was in highscho
ol. * They just never go bad.
Try soaking the plastic lined cup in a baking soda solution for a day or
two, then wash. *I think the smell goes away with age, but the baking s
oda might accellerate it.

First, I read your sentence as meaning, "the baking powder might
accelerate the odor." HAHAHA!
I just got thru looking at the labels, and see that they are "made in
China." (Yes, I'm one of those.) I'll probably defeat the purpose by
bringing along a 'plastic' cup made in China to drink out of -- just
kidding!
So many things were made in the US are now made elsewhere, but Stanley has
always had very high standards. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
Thanks again.
Dee Dee
LOL! You're welcome. You don't need no steenking plastic cup from China.
