Silicone is plastic. Or at least a combination of synthetic polymers and probably dyes, if you don't agree with the definition of "plastic".


I read some (Danish?) research about soft squeezable drinking bottles, like those used by cyclists for example, and the result was pretty bad. Do you know if they use the same process / chemicals in silicone products?


i just read on wikipedia...i dont know why i assumed it was some kind of wizz-bang glass...i feel like a fool now. Thanks for posting :)
