Question #7

Well, this is the last of my questions! (Unless I get more...) Sorry it took so long, D!

My friend, Deirdre, wants to know...

"Do you prefer drinking from "glass" or "plastic"?"

Hmm.... I suppose it depends on the drink! ;)

Very interesting question, D!! Considering my stepfather worked in a glass factory for over 30 years, and hubby's grandmother worked in one for many years also, I 'd have to say GLASS!!!

:D

But honestly, I do think things taste better in glass. I can't explain it, but given a choice, I'll pick glass everytime!

I am clumsy at times, though, and I've broken many glasses, so I do have to be careful. Plastic shards don't hurt as bad as glass ones do!! HA!

That appears to be all my questions for now. If anyone has more, please feel free to ask away!!!

Thanks to everyone who asked me questions!! I've had fun thinking about them all!

I love drinking from glass as well!

Although, the clean up with plastic is far easier but not as environmentally friendly.

:P

Thanks for answering!

Have a beautiful weekend!

Plastic or glass -- finally something I feel passionately about! I agree, glass makes everything taste better. Plastic is hygroscopic, absorbs flavors, and is hardly neutral itself. Glass is the ideal material for beverage conveyance.

Good answer, Tammykins! :)

I remember buying a can of Pepsi and being told that when I bought aluminum and plastic I was taking food off our table (our step-dad's worked together? I don't think I ever knew that!) since dad worked at the glass factory (and grandma and mom at one time). I still feel guilty today drinking a 20 oz. Diet Pepsi in plastic.

Oh man...I bet you have some fabulous pieces of glass!!

I prefer drinking from glass as well. I love buying really cool wine glasses to enjoy a glass of wine out of. I don't even like them to match. One of this one, another of that one. All different colors.

I think glass makes drinks colder too. :o)

I agree with glass making things colder. Coke in a glass bottle is 100 times better than coke in a plastic bottle!

I want to ask a question...

Where do you want to be 5 years from now?

true! glass is so much better...lovelier for the planet too because it's reusable!

oooooh i've got 2 questions:

1. what do you like to drink with your cup of coffee?

2. what are your conversation peeves (mind you this is a shameless plug for an entry i have! haha!)?

Oh yes! Glass, definitely! Plastic just makes things tastes like, well, um ... plastic.
:)

I'm sure we can come up with more questions, too. I'll get back to ya!
