Make a Lunch Box from a Milk Jug

Make a Lunch Box from a Milk Jug
There are concerns that plastics used commonly for milk and water bottles are risky to reuse due to chemical leaching (if it's reused several times, partly because of surface wear on the plastic), and particularly with milk bottles, if you don't clean them well, they can be a bacterial risk. There's plenty of discussion on it. Truth be told the data out there does seem to be sketchy and the impact is unlikely, but I'd still personally prefer to get a container I know for sure was safe for repeated use with food, since it's very easy to do, even if you're broke. :) 9/18/11 9:10pm

Triumph Scrambler 900 Most of the bikes we show here don’t reflect the truth of mainstream motorcycle customizing. They’re bikes to aspire to, or be inspired by. The reality is that most people who customize their bikes do it in a piecemeal fashion: changing a part here and there, doing a little of the work themselves and contracting out the trickier stuff, and poring over catalogs and websites to find the elusive parts that will provide a useful performance kick or a different look. This is something that Roland Sands understands very well, and one of the reasons he’s become so successful.
