lol lol watso is a bit of a collector/hoarder of a lot of things ...
(including pushies and caps) mmm people who collect stamps or coins - maybe they should also be classified as hoarders!!!!!
anyway - watso would have about 40 vacuum flasks/whatever..
(only two bought brand new) ..
watso is into
vacuum flask/thermal cooking.. and always trying to optimize results..
for whatever reason, when watso is i the op shops - and checking out the vacuum flasks - he is always trying to look for a reason to buy another vacuum flask ..
(mmm this is cheap - give it a go.. mmm watso likes this wider mouth etc etc) for what it is worth, but watso has been disappointed with the
Thermos brand product .. except that he bought a 1 litre thermos brand
THERMOCAFE - and that is nothing short of brilliant

for what it is worth - but watso picked up one of these for $10 from the op shop - but has not yet tested it ..
(and made in china)
for what it is worth, but watso has vacuum flasks from both
Thermos and
Stanley -which are made in china .. it is interesting to read the online comments from the relevant vacuum flasks made in china
(some good comments and some bad) ..
just because a product is made in china - does not mean that it is a bad product.. if american companies want to cut costs by making their products in china - and the quality suffers - then that is their responsibility .. maybe they were simply looking to produce the product too cheap
