Copco Sierra 24-Ounce Cold Tumbler, Brown Review

Copco Sierra 24-Ounce Cold Tumbler, Brown

I've been using this cup everyday for the past two months and I love it! I used to just recycle sports drink bottles but no more (BPA's!!!). I also notice that I drink a lot more (green ice-tea) when using a straw and therefore am keeping well hydrated.
Pluses:
*It's BPA (bisphenol A) free... this is a chemical found in a lot of plastics that leach out and is a possible link to cardiovascular disease and diabetes among other things.
*It's dishwasher safe
*Does not sweat and leave rings on desks and tables (at least it doesn't for me)
*Keeps iced drinks cold for around an hour
*Reusable straw and cup means less landfill and more recycling
*Bottom of straw is "winged" which makes stirring drinks easier
*Well made
*Insulated band around the center prevents "Hand-Freeze" when holding
*It looks good
Minuses:
*Is not microwavable (not a concern for me since I never microwave plastics!)
*Is not for use with hot drinks/liquids (also not a concern for me, I don't drink coffee with a straw)
The biggest problem I have is getting the lid to seal tight. It takes a little effort to get the threads just right... if its not on properly, the lid will leak. This is my reason for subtracting 1 star. Other than that, it is well made and I wouldn't hesitate to buy this again!
I haven't used the Starbucks version so I can't compare the two, but I also can't believe it's any better... and for the price this is one great tumbler! I wish they would make a 64oz...lol!

I have been looking for a straw/spoon combination to use with smoothie type drinks. This was the only one I found. The straw section is very narrow and the spoon is flat so it doesn't hold the drink. These may have been designed for stirring.

Bare Ground Solutions BGDS-1 Liquid Snow & Ice Melt Gallon Sprayer and Gallon Solution Kit Review

The solution works pretty good, but the pump sprayer is about as worthless as a 3 dollar bill. Save your money on the sprayer and just buy the solution and pick up a cheap sprayer at the hardware store. I bet it will be much better. Also, there were no application instructions anywhere. I don't know if I should put it down before, during or after ice and snow, or how much solution I should use per application.
