[pct-l] Warm Water - containers

[stillroaming]

That's probably the 2 biggest upsides to carrying soda bottles, you don't 
need to clean them in town and they don't have a taste. Further, they are 
cheap and virtually indestructable.

Having been a long time user of bladders on mountain bike trips and day 
hikes, I gave them up completely for 1 or 1.5 liter aquafina bottles because 
of the low fuss quality. Use'em, recycle'em.

1 liter Pepsi soda bottles and 1 liter Aquafina bottles are identical, being 
the same company and all.

I don't like weird tastes either.

I've never had a problem with my water tasting much like a plataypus.
I have had a problem when I use my plataypus for flavored/electrolyte water.
Gatorade especially, seems to ruin a platypus tastewise.

When I pack things up after a hike I clean my water containers out with a
weak mixture of water, bleach and Dawn.  I always have this on my Kitchen
sink in a spray bottle for other cleaning and sanitizing purposes.
The longer the bleach works, the more neutral tastes become.
