water bottles

Sure that brand new Stanley Cup looks cool, but may be covered in germs. The folks at WaterFilterGuru.com did some tests and found that straws, lids and tops of water bottles contain massive amounts of bacteria. Brian Campbell is the lead "water geek" at Water Filter Guru. He shares the results of their study on Drive Time with Michael Wallace. 

Welcome to the podcast where we dissect the most recent episode of "The Weeks", a podcast that delves into the heart of Burbank's transformations, tributes, and the delightful quirks that shape the community. 

The groundbreaking of the new airport terminal in Southern California takes center stage, symbolizing the city's progress and future. The anticipation for the terminal is palpable, especially with promises that it will open on time for the 2026 Olympics. Not only does this development signify convenience for travelers, but it also underscores the effectiveness of local governance, promising no financial burden on the city itself.

Listeners interested in the intricacies of urban planning will appreciate the detailed exploration of Burbank's growth and the delicate balance between preserving community charm and embracing necessary change. The discussion on city council updates sheds light on the role of young professionals in shaping the city's future, while the debate over public art placement at the airport raises important questions about accessibility and the public's right to art.

For those captivated by the majesty of aviation, this episode does not disappoint. It provides personal anecdotes of plane spotting, including the awe-inspiring C5As, and dives into the physics of flight. The conversation about aviation isn't limited to just the technicalities; it extends to include the local impact of flight patterns and the challenges posed by weather phenomena like Santa Ana winds.

Addressing more serious matters, the podcast delves into local initiatives to combat human trafficking and assesses the effectiveness of the Landlord Tenant Commission in mediating tenant disputes. These discussions underscore the podcast's commitment to tackling significant issues and making a real difference in the trenches of community issues.

The episode also brings to light the less-discussed aspects of Burbank's infrastructure, such as the lack of codification for bike path usage, highlighting the need for clearer rules and community awareness to ensure safety.

The podcast would not be complete without mentioning the key topics that affect residents directly, such as new laws aimed at reducing catalytic converter theft and enhancing road safety. The implications of these measures on property crime and public safety are explored in depth, reflecting the podcast's holistic approach to discussing urban issues.

In summary, this episode encapsulates the spirit of Burbank, weaving together nostalgia, current events, and a forward-looking perspective. It is a must-listen for anyone connected to the city or interested in the dynamics of urban life. So tune in, laugh, reflect, and join the conversation about the ever-evolving tapestry that is Burbank.

The best stuff is always in plastic water bottles — that’s a thing I hear from a lot of Mezcal geeks. But lately I’ve been reading a lot of stories in the news about how most of us have plastic in our blood stream. And that’s got me wondering … is the stuff brought back from Mexico in plastic water bottles really the best stuff, then? Or am I just drinking myself to death in an unexpected way? Agave Road Trip’s Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Ryan Aycock plastic-coats this episode of Agave Road Trip!

Hello and thank you for joining us for this episode!

Staying hydrated while exercising is an important part of living a healthy lifestyle. Making sure you have enough water with you at all times is a must and also making sure the apparatus you use to store your refreshing water is clean can get overlooked. Whether you use as regular plastic bottle or fancy ThermoFlask, it’s always a good idea to take a little extra time and make sure what you’re drinking out of is clean.

It may sound like a no brainer, but we often underestimate what it takes to keep our water bottles clean. If gone unchecked over time, bacteria and mold can build which can lead to longer health effects. And we definitely don’t want that!

In This Episode You Will Learn:

1). How the water bottle market has become quite popular in today’s fitness realm and why that’s a good thing:)

2). Why it’s important to create the habit of carrying a water bottle around with you even if you’re not in the gym or exercising. Hydrating should happen all day long.

3). How bacteria can slowly start to form without us noticing if we don’t make it a point to really give our water bottle a good cleaning on a regular basis.

4). How keeping track of the cleanliness of your water bottle is even more important if you like to add flavoring/fruit etc. to your water.

5). Meredith’s recommendations on how often you should give your water bottle a thorough cleansing including rinsing and deep cleaning.

Thank you again for joining us on this episode. We hope the information and tips here will help you keep an eye out on the cleanliness of your own water bottles. Making sure you sanitize them regularly and have them washed is the key to keeping your body healthy and ready for the next workout always:)

FIJI Water bottles, which feature an iconic square shape and vibrant branding, are now made from 100 percent recycled plastic and are also fully recyclable. In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney talks about FIJI’s 100 percent recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) bottles that replaced its virgin rPET 500-milliliter and 330-milliliter bottles throughout the US. However, the water business in Fiji has brought some dissent. While the export of mineral water added more than $100 million to Fiji’s economy, the company churns out bottles of water in a country where citizens don’t have access to drinking water. The team wonders whether bottled water will ever become a thing of the past and commends FIJI for making the switch.

Also, in this episode, Sydney talks about cell-based chocolate, which is made by growing cells in a similar way to cultured meat and seafood. To make cell-based chocolate, cells must be sampled through cocoa beans that are selected for their taste, smell, melt and performance. A part of the bean is incubated at a certain temperature in a completely dark environment. After several weeks in bioreactor tanks, the cocoa cells ferment and achieve a rich flavor, resulting in cell-cultured cocoa nibs. Several companies, including California Cultured and Fazer, have already entered the cell-based chocolate space, but they are far from commercialization. The team discuss whether they would try cell-based chocolate and whether consumer reception would be positive.

Ah, school run, how I've missed you. Not. In which I share some of my "favourite" school run memories: including why The Right Sort Of Carrier Bag is a food tech essential; why water bottles are absolute dicks; and the utterly mortifying tale of possibly my most legendary school run appearance of all...
