    Very intriguing. This “two-dimensional” technology could also potentially be used to line cans without the use of BPA, which is commonplace for beer can liners. Then again, the new technology will probably be banned by California b/c it has been shown to cause cancer in rats.:D

    The new, “improved” plastic bottle is yet another example of “better living through chemistry.” The world has been waiting anxiously for this breakthrough and now it is close at hand.

    For those naysayers who say “it gives rats cancer” I say damn the rats. Let them all get cancer. And besides, that’s what they get for drinking my beer.
