Old one’s thread has given up. Nicked a new one from work in white as it is almost identical. Didn’t want to unceremoniously ditch the old one, it did a great job for many years and saw many events, so here’s a post to celebrate it. Thank you old faithful, long live the new faithful!
Did the threads give in the bottle or on the cap? “Many years” doesn’t sound that many for an object consisting of two parts that I’d expect to last multiple lifetimes.
Bottle. Soft metal of some sort
Looks like aluminium. It’s pretty soft so it’s not that surprising, by the look of the neck.
Looks to be fixed by the next iteration. Annodized steel perhaps. Will keep the old cap
So the cap doesn’t fit tight anymore? And pops right out?
Did you wash it in the dishwasher regularly, or by hand?
Aluminum will wear out from contact rubbing , dishwasher silicates probably accelerate that breakdown.
Mostly be hand, but dishwasher on occasion. And cap is also worn on closer examination. And caps aren’t interchangeable either. Will see how new faithful does
