Wholesale Collapsible Silicone Sports Water Bottle Supplies

This Sports Collapsible Water Bottle to have it in my purse all the time. As a mom of 3 very active kids this is a must have product to keep my kids hydrated. I have used these king of bottles before and I love that I can take it anywhere with me. Also I like this size because you can easily fold it down into a small compact size! It holds the cold for long periods of time. Also if you need it is very simple, just pull it up and it is ready to use. This bottle is BPA free, non-toxic and another nice feature it is reusable. It is made very well with a non-leak cap and durable silicone construction. I Cannot say enough great things about this product. I strongly recommend this product. I would have no hesitation buying this item again or as a present for someone!

when I first saw this bottle is was very fascinated by it so I decided to buy it. its really cool looking very different from the other bottles. I received it in the mail a couple of days ago and I have been using it since. I took it when I went for a walk with my daughter and also when I went for a run. it was very easy to carry because of the wristlet. after I am done drinking what cool is that you can minimize and make it so much easier to carry it around. the color pink is really pretty because its really nice and soft pink. the seller claims: Portable, Collapsible, Stylish, Eco-Friendly, Leak proof, and Wide mouth.•Take with you to work, the gym, biking, hiking, or travelling.•Ideal for college students!•Capacity-17.5 oz.I think they match all the items description and serves its purpose well I do not have anything bad to say about this bottle.

This water bottle is possibly the coolest design I've seen so far. I like that you don't have to roll it up, instead it collapses in on itself and the cute mustache design is dominant. The bottle has a unique accordion design but be careful, you can smash the bottom into the top. It's really soft so it doesn't get stuck or anything, but you can over do it. It goes well in the freezer, too. The top screws on and has a pull up spout so there is no mess. It comes with a carabiner clip for easy travel. I love this one, but it might be because there's a mustache man on it. This is going to excellent for use when we go camping this year, it's a space saver and perfect for walks or hiking!

You're out walking or foldable water bottle running and don't have a lot of pockets to hold a lot of items. You're halfway through your workout and find a water fountain. You grab a drink while your there, but you know you have a long way back.and will want more to drink. With this you can simply "pop" it out and fill it up. Perhaps there's no water fountain, but a water spicket. Then this is perfect! That's kinda how I use it. I'm on a military post and there is a trail I walk for exercise. It goes and circles around in the woods. In the middle of the trail, there is a water fountain. I take this with me and fill up in middle to get me through the rest of the workout. This saves me from having to carry a water bottle through the whole workout. I'm usually fairly hydrated on the first half of the workout, it's only the second half that I need to replenish the water that I'm losing from sweating. It's handy and useful at the same time!

YuanFeng Wholesale Silicone Collapsible Water Bottle Reviews

The silicone bottle pulls open easily with a grab-tab. You can open it as much as you need (i.e. if you only need half a bottle of water). It folds back up easily. In the "closed" position, it is roughly the size of a regular (not large) coffee mug. Fully extended, the bottle balances upright on the bottom well. The shape is sensible, making the bottle easy to handle and use. It should fit into a variety of cup holders.

In the spout is a perforated layer which filters out things like ice, tea leaves, or pieces of fruit. That layer will also serve to help control any sloshing. The perforated layer means that you can generate a "shower" with this bottle. Handy for moms to quickly clean up the kids at Disneyland; for sandy feet at the beach; or, if you are a gardener, for watering your seedlings, bonsai, or other delicate plants (and it might work for dust applications under the leaves too, although I haven't tried this).

Under the spout cap is the screw ring and a cylinder inside the lip of this sport foldable water bottle wholesale. The cylinder comes out, which enables you to clean underneath it. I didn't try it yet but I believe you can reverse the spout cap and fasten everything in place with the handle loop for storage. The mouth of the bottle with the spout cap removed is wide, so you can add ice cubes, or you could even eat out of this. Maybe stash a few crudites or fruit pieces in with your water for a snack, or use it as a compacting snack jar. Heck you could even use this to grow sprouts, which would be a nice thing to have on a hiking or camping trip. I didn't see any temperature commentary on the information enclosed with the product, so I don't know if you can use it for hot beverages or foods.

The bottle I received did not have any silicone (or other) bad smells; everything looked pristine and well fitted. The color I requested is a pretty, deep turquoise blue, with an unobtrusive black logo. The silicone feels sturdy and is comfortable to handle. I like that it is opaque; hey, I'm not going to judge on what kind of beverages you might consider carrying in it to a ball game or your cubicle or whatever. I also think this bottle is just plain fun, as it's a little different. I have to say I kind of hate the look of regular water bottles. This one is a little kinetic sculpture.

Wholesale BPA Free Reusable Water Bottles Supplies China Bottles Factory

I am in love with this water bottle. It hardly takes up any space. It is a collapsible water bottle, so you can roll it up when it is not in use. Since you roll it up, it becomes smaller which means it will take up less space than a normal water bottle. The bottle comes with a rubber loop, which is attached, so your bottle stays rolled up. It also comes with a carabiner, which makes it easier to carry. You can hook it to a belt loop or a loop on your backpack. I have seen people put hair ribbons on their water bottles to remind them how many more bottles of water they need to drink. The carabiner would come in handy with that. I was able to fit 20 ounces of water in this bottle. I also washed it in the dishwasher on the top shelf. It came out with absolutely no damage. It still works like the first day I used it. I would definitely recommend this product.

The water bottle is made of soft silicone and hold 17mL. It has a flip open top and water will flow out when the bottle is squeezed. To fill the water bottle you unscrew the top white piece from the bottom white piece exposing an opening about the size of a quarter. The bottle will stand upright while empty or full. To compress the water bottle, open the flip top lid and roll it up from the bottom to the top and wrap the silicone band around the rolled bottle. While full and open be careful not to squeeze the bottle too hard because the water will come squirting out. I constantly have to remind my kids of this. I am happy that I found this bottle as I carry it with me everywhere just in case.

This a great water bottle. I was a bit worried that it would leak or be made of flimsy material, but I was very happy when it arrived. The silicone is very thick and seems like it will hold up to repeated uses. The bottle comes rolled up and it is very easy unrolled and filled with water (after cleaning it first). The bottle doesn't leak even when full and the bottle was squeezed, no water comes out. Open the flip top and enjoy your water. This bottle is great because when empty and rolled up it takes up very little room and is very lightweight. This important when camping or backpacking because I don't want products with a lot of weight. Clean up is a breeze with this bottle as it is all dishwasher safe. The sport clip allows me to clip it my bag and go and the clip works with or without water in the bottle. Storage is easy by rolling it up and using the attached band to hold it together in the rolled up position. I was able to get the bottle to roll up to the same size it was when I received it, which normally doesn't happen with products. I highly recommend this product.

The collapsible aspect is awesome.It makes it super easy to tuck away or attach to your waist belt. I also like to carry it with me so that I can fill it on the go as needed. If I come across a water dispenser I can just fill up there instead of bothering with those little paper cups. I have actually mapped out my jogging route to incline the local dentist office so I can fill up on water there. I made sure to get permission first of course. They are my dentist so they were ok with my daily water visits.This water bottle has a lot of great features, and is honestly better then I expected. I thought that the material would be thinner than it is, but it is just thick enough. It is a silicon like material that rolls up, includes a carabiner to clip it on to things, and a band made of the same material to secure it in place when it is rolled. I got the pink color and honestly I really like the color. Part of the bottle is a more opaque/matte pink and there are some window type parts that are transparent, more shiny pink. The top is really great, easy to screw on and off. The bpa free reusable water bottles wholesale top is a nice touch, but what is really unique is that the spout of the sport top has little holes in it. This means I can still infuse lemons or other fruits inside my bottle without worrying about it clogging up the bottle or it coming out in big chunks into my mouth or something.

How to Make A Place Featured Shown On TV

Cardboard box factory, Ive seen the episode but what I'm about to say probably applies to every factory. The don't show when things get fucked up, thats like half the reason the employees are there. They show machines running and making shit."Here, the operator berates the machine, calling it 'a filthy whore bastard' and demanding to know what the hell its fucking problem is. This eases the operator's rage and keeps production running smoothly.""First the operator presses the button that makes the machine make the first half of the part. Now he turns the part around and presses the button for the machine to make the other end of the part. Ooops. Seems like he's loaded the wrong program. That loud bang is going to cost $7500 to repair"

Honestly that's part of what made Dirty Jobs so good. Mike did the job but because he didn't have any experience he sucked at it. There were a few episodes where the person he was working with would just say something like "OK you're really TOO awful at this, you just watch now"Next, on How it's Fucked Again, we'll join Al and Sylvia in the box plant as they clear coarse paper fiber from an uncaring automaton in subhuman conditions they're lucky to enjoy!When people find out I'm a machine operator they think I'm super technical and I must be a genius, when in reality I babysit cranky robots all day and spank them when they misbehave.

When I watch the show, I like to fantasize about the things that could go wrong. Like a really really bad day at the pickle factory. There's no way there would be a small mess when things moving that quickly fuck up.Dam. I wish they did say that, it could be an entire new show."How it's Not Done". I'd love to watch factory malfunctions, but obviously companies don't want to show that part of production.Would phosphor really be considered hazardous enough to fall under those rules? While I know that some phosphor mixes are toxic, they are not particularly dangerous compared to other things that are shown on television.

In some of the later episodes they tell you what explosives they are using and why. Like when they were using anfo to try to split a tree in half they basically said "We are using anfo because it is an explosive with a slower explosion time and that will be more effective for trying to split this tree in half". They just used C4 a lot because as explosives go, it's very stable and relatively safe, as well as pretty much all purpose.But, when they were making their flamethrowers and a couple of other devices they did say "Yeah, we're not showing a development montage or telling you what this is made of, or too specifically how it works because WE DON'T WANT YOU TO DO THIS AT HOME".

Wholesale BeadsYuanFeng Silicone Teething Necklace BPA Free Supplies

I got this for my 2 year old grandson, who puts everything in his mouth to bite on it. Well it worked! He no long picks up anything to bite on anyone. He will put the teething necklace on himself and bite on it. I am so glad he only bites on his necklace now and I don't have to worry about him getting nasty stuff in his mouth anymore!The necklace is very durable and easy to clean. I love that it come with a ribbon as the necklace instead of string or rope. The teething blocks on the necklace are very durable and I don't have to worry about him swallowing one of them!

I have never really seen a teething necklace that the parent wears until recently and I really like the idea. I ordered the green one but there are several different colors you can choose from. It is made of silicone and is BPA free and does not contain any toxins. The necklace is a satin cord and has these big chunky beads on them. Now I don’t have little ones so again I got this for my nephew. It is a cute necklace and looks really cute on his mom. I love that it has a break away clasp so there is no chance that she can get choked from him pulling on it. It works great for when he is fussy from teething she can hold him and let him chew on it and it helps to relieve the pain in his gums. He loves to chew on it and play with it. He likes to play with the beads sometimes when Mom is just holding him. This is such a great teething necklace and I would recommend it.

I wish this Silicone Teething Necklace Wholesale was around when my kids were little. I purchased this teething necklace for my 4 month old granddaughter Avaya. She loves this necklace. The bright color immediately attracts her attention, and she loves to hold and touch it. It fits perfect around my neck and is long enough for baby to play with. She loves to chew on it, and it keeps her occupied. I highly recommend all moms should have one.This necklace is adorable! It hangs low enough that when the baby is using it you don't feel like they are pulling at the back of your neck. The beads are big enough for the baby to chew on but not small enough for them to choke. I was actually expecting them to be smaller and was worried about that.

Gave this to my 7 month old niece that is teething. She has her two bottom tooth and one upper tooth that's growing out already. She's always biting everything and gets frustrated sometimes because of it. The silicon teething necklace was the perfect gift for my baby niece. She loves biting on it and it keeps her occupied. The pink silicon beads and ribbon is really soft and smooth to the touch. The closure is easy to take off and on yet secured when closed. What's great about these beads teething necklaces is that they are BPA free so I know it's safe for her. She's only 7 months so her mom wears it while holding her.

This Silicone Teething Necklace is perfect to keep my little one busy while she is nursing. As she has gotten bigger, she has become far more busy and active, even when trying to nurse. Which can be a literal pain for Mom. I love this safe food grade silicone necklace because it keeps her hands busy and her focus at least towards me, making nursing easier, less scratching and grabbing, and calmer, less trying to look around. The necklace is safe if baby wants to teeth/ chew on it. It is great that it can’t get dropped on the floor. The ribbon that it is strung with won’t break, leaving the beads as a choking hazard. I like the bright purple color, making it a fun accessory Mom. This necklace is both Mom and Baby approved.

Amber Teething Necklaces For Babies Anti Teething Pain Reduce Properties Wholesale Supplies

This teething necklace has been the most amazing thing I have purchased for my baby so far! With my first, one of my girlfriends tried to convince me to use a similar product. I wasn't really interested. However, after witnessing how it helped, I decided to try this. I have fallen in love with this necklace!! I have not had to use any chemical pain relievers on my baby, which to me is a huge plus. I love having a product that is natural and doesn't have to be taken away. I can use it any time, anywhere! The necklace gives my baby relief, and cuts back on her fussiness.

My friend has been interested in getting an unpolished raw amber teething necklace for her 3 month old, so I was so excited to find this one! Most of the amber necklaces I have come across are polished, but apparently unpolished is better because the polishing process takes away some of the natural properties of the amber. These necklaces are supposed to have an analgesic effect, they're supposed to stimulate the thyroid gland (thus decreasing drooling), and they're supposed to have a positive impact on the immune system. My friend said that her usually grumpy and fussy baby definitely seems to be benefiting from this necklace!

Amber is a resin, which when worn against warm skin, releases succinic acid. This has an analgesic effect. So Amber as a necklace is remarkably perfect for a teething infant. I received this necklace free in exchange for my honest review. Honestly, I wish I would have tried it sooner. Upon arrival I immediately put it on my 9 month old daughter who is currently getting her first teeth. She is a slow teether which means it has been two weeks of non stop drooling, pain, and interrupted sleep. After various failed teething remedies I wasn't expecting this necklace to work so quickly or effectively. To my surprise (and delight) within four hours I noticed a dramatic reduction in drooling and discomfort. Her sleep has improved and overall seems much more content. I would chalk it up to coincidence but her teeth have still not fully broken though. I took it off for testing purposes and she was back to being a cranky drool bucket by nightfall Silicone Amber Pendant.

Amber Teething Necklace for my two year old daughter. We used a teething necklace when her other teeth came in and now that her gums have that ever so familiar look, her nose is running and her cheerful disposition has been replaced with tears, whining and fussiness, I can only assume her two year molars are on their way! I only received this necklace a day and a half ago but put it on her immediately so she could get some relief! The necklace comes packaged nicely and includes a canvas carrying/storage bag for your convenience and thick, laminated card with a certificate of authenticity on one side and a disclaimer and advise on the other. The necklace is very pretty and fits around the neck as it is supposed to. In order to get the therapeutic properties of the amber it must be against the infant/toddlers skin. There is a misconception out there that the necklace is designed for the baby to chew on or suck on and that is not the case. The necklace is easy to put on and take off a squiggling target without having to worry about hair getting pulled or tangled in the screw together clasp. As recommended I do remove the necklace during nap time as well as during the night for obvious safety reasons.

Teething Necklace For Mom Wholesale Supplies Silicone Teether

I was really excited to try out this teething necklace. I have a 7 month old who just started getting a tooth! She has congenital heart disease so is slow on her motor skills and is not able to grasp things in her hands yet. So I thought this would be the perfect solution! She doesn't eat by mouth only by NG tube so things in her mouth are very foreign. I was worried she might not like it if it was too hard or chunky. It is soft and just the right thickness for her to be comfortable. If I hold her she can get the necklace to her mouth and chew. I wore this all around even without my baby anywhere near and got lots of compliments. It is very lightweight and such a pretty color.

This took be my surprise! I thought the beads were more stiff and hard, but they are in fact silicone and soft. Soft enough to squeeze between two fingers! The color and the shape of the beads look so much like a real piece of jewelery and no one would be able to tell that this was meant for teething unless they get a chance to touch it. The design is great! Moms get to look fabulous wearing it and baby gets to soothe their gums. Everyone who has or will have a baby needs this!

I absolutely love this necklace!! I have a teething 4 month old and this item became available to me for review during a promotional period at just the right time!!! It is a nice soft silicone texture with geometrical edges (if that makes sense). The gray color matches with nearly all of my wardrobe and the closure is a pull apart closure. The necklace is medium length and my son loves to put it in his mouth when I'm holding him. It keeps him occupied and soothes his gums at the same time. He is content while teething on the necklace and I actually may end up getting a different color!!! I love love love this necklace!!!!! It's a mommy a must have item!!

This is by far the best brand I have gotten to date. I have purchased another brand and the symmetry was off, making it tough to wear and very uncomfortable after a short while. With a 18 month old who is still nursing this is a must have for any momma. I got the grey, and its absolutely beautiful! I have to say, I love that its double knotted between beads to make sure if anything did happen, the beads are secured so there is no risk of choking from breakage teething necklace for mom wholesale.

I personally don't have a baby but I have a niece and her mom always forgets to bring teething toys. So I decided to purchase this necklace to have at my house whenever my niece was over. I really like this necklace because I put it in a plastic bag in the freezer and when my niece is over I actually put it around her neck and she bites away. She loves it. She'll play with it or bite it, it entertains her. I wore it once while I carried her but I rather put it on her because she didn't seem to pay that much attention on it compared as to if she's wearing it. I really recommended this to mom's who have teething babies or have kids who have oral sensory.

Roombas + Beer pong

Now, I just turn the Roomba on every morning before I go to work and it pretty much keeps the house spotless and free of dirt and hair. In the five years I've had it, aside from the regular stuff you change (brushes and filters), I've had to replace the dustbin once and the battery once. And it has been used almost every single day for five years.Anyway, they sell the old model (the one I have) at Bed Bath and Beyond for $300. If you create an account online for bed bath and beyond they will give you one-time voucher for 20% off on anything in the store. That's what I did, so it was $60 off.

Why does everyone seem to assume that both the Roombas are owned by the same person/couple? Is it really that hard to imagine that someone might have brought one with them?Millions of years of evolution, centuries of technological achievement, and decades of robotics have all come together to produce this moment. The moment that we can play beer pong with self-moving cups.Our roomba we got many years ago would've driven right off of the table and then make a little beep signifying it's been hurt."Hey guys, beer pong games are too easy, and don't last long enough. We need a way to make the games longer" said no one ever.Why is it this GallowBoob person ALWAYS on the front page? Like, they have to be a repost master. No one is this good.

This is one of those moments when you realize we have used our vast technological advances to eliminate diseases that have plagued mankind for millennia, we have even sent men to our orbiting satellite. We have divided the atom and calculated numbers infinitely large, yet here we are, with robotic vacuums covered in alcoholic beverages having balls shot at them.This is the 2nd time I saw something on facebook before reddit this week. What happened to you reddit? What happened?No need to apologize about the potato. I can understand it was a simple and innocent mistake. I've actually been in the same situation myself but of course no where near as embarrassing as this. So please don't think another thing about and if you never mention it again then neither will I.

Wholesale Eco Squeeze Silicone Water Bottle Supplies BPA Free Collapsible Water Bottle

I seriously love this water bottle! No more having to lug around my huge, hard camelback bottle! First of all, the silicone makes this bottle SO soft. I love the way it feels and I could stroke it all day long! Also, the spout is very sturdy! I also like that it comes with a carabiner clip. I'm not a rock climber, but it is helpful when I'm carrying a million things on the way to yoga because I can clip it onto just about anything. For those of you who are wondering, it is dishwasher safe, so no more having to struggle to scrub out narrow water bottles by hand. I don't think I'll ever buy a hard/plastic bottle again.

I have try many kind of water bottles - glass, stainless stell and many kind of BPA free plastic water bottles before I find this silicone water bottle. I have glass bottles but I worry it will break if I bring it around in the bag or my son backpack. It's even not allowed in his class to have utensil made of glass. Stainless steel bottle will taste like metal. Anyway, this silicone water bottle arrived yesterday. It's folded -small size, so I can bring it empty anywhere it doesn't take much space. I fill it to the last minutes I can have water and will drink it later - It won't break easily, no taste, safer than plastic. It's not leak, and has a small carabiner that is strong and really light. We can hang this water bottle anywhere, really can stand rug treatment. Hah... I can definitely bring it for hiking, this is the perfect water bottle for outdoors activity.

Cactus bottles are great. They are really well designed - a great size for urban use, fits in brief cases and overcoat pockets and carries a few ounces more than other bottles that do that; being collapsible makes them easier to fit in lots of spots, and makes them more convenient as they empty out. The shape and thickness of the silicone makes them easy to hold and maneuver even though they are soft-sided. No flavors or smells from the bottle or cap, easy to clean in the top rack of the dishwasher or quickly and easily by hand in the sink. The toggle mouthpiece is easy to use single handed, seems pretty robust (unlike many) and in low profile, which saves space, lets them fit in more places and probably reduces the likelihood of getting damaged. I like the colors, and having them in several helps keep track of them in rotation. All in all, if you want to carry water, not contribute as much to the millions of bottles already floating around and do it conveniently and simply, these are a great choice bpa free collapsible water bottle wholesale.

At last I found a product meeting my needs! I wanted a spill proof water bottle, a collapsible water bottle, a sturdy water bottle and a light weight water bottle that was not too large nor too small. This one meets all my needs! Most of the time I will be using it in airports so will get to try that part out soon. Yesterday I used it to go to an outdoor art show that was in the hot sun. There was no after taste, the water flowed smoothly, the way I like it. The only con is that I cannot see my water level from the outside, but that is a minor issue for me. Other than that it has all the features I've been searching for and almost gave up on finding. The cost was so reasonable considering several other water bottles I saw in my search.

Glass Water Bottle With Silicone Sleeve BPA Free Water Bottles Supplies Wholesale

I had been looking forward to this glass water bottle with silicone sleeve. I washed it when it arrived and after it had dried I filled it with filtered water and put it into the fridge. Several hours later I went to take a drink from it and realized that it had shattered. The only thing keeping it together was the soft cover. I had planned to buy more of these since I hate the thought of using plastic bottles but now I have to find another alternative. I am just glad I notice the bottle had broken before I drank from it.I love the glass and the size of these bpa free water bottles. Sadly, this is the second one I bought, after the cap broke on my first one. Now my second cap has broken. If you drop it slightly or twist the cap too hard they split and then leak. I cannot find a place to order just the replacement caps, so I will have to find a more durable situation.

Perfect size for my daughter's backpack and lunchbox. We struggled to find a glass bottle that was shorter than most with a small opening after numerous spills down the face when drinking. This bottle delivers. My daughter tells me that unlike her last tall water bottle, this one doesn't tip over on her desk when the kids walk past. Drinking from glass keeps the water cold and lean-tasting, too.Its a great bottle. The color is exactly what it looks like on the website. There weren't any delays in the delivery. The size and the shape are perfect for what I was looking for. The silicone sleeve is the perfect amount of thickness. Lets you estimate the water level without much effort. It takes a couple of times to adjust to what you're looking for. I guess the full coverage keeps the water cooler for longer which is a plus.

Love this bpa free water bottle. Water always tastes fresh even if I left the bottle in the car in the hot sun. No more plastic or stainless taste. Perfect size , 14oz fits in my hand well and my cup holders in my car. Easy to clean with the bottle brush! The cap doesn't get that weird black mold like most caps do. You can take the little seal ring out of the top of the cap while cleaning it which is nice. I don't recommend taking the silicone sleeve off the bottle it's near impossible to get back on haha overall really great product, does exactly what I was hoping for: keep my water tasting like fresh water.

I was sent these to review for my honest opinion. I really love these glass bottles. I have been trying to get away from plastic as much as I can and I love how I can use these for pretty much everything. They have measurements on them that really helps me keep up with how much water I am drinking. They are leak proof which is really nice. They are super easy to clean as well and they are dishwasher safe. I would recommend these to anyone who wants to get away from plastic as well. The only thing is you have to be careful when traveling with these as they are glass but they are definitely worth it!

What Color Is The Best Tasting Level of Ripeness

Well if this actually original content, he took this picture about 3 hours ago, so it's not an unreasonable thing to think that he's actually still waiting to this day, since it was posted today.Not these. That's a Champagne mango, which will turn a pale yellow when they are over-ripe.And you hope that the printhead on the machine that manufactures these stickers has been recently calibrated for consistent ink color."They took a week to get me the proofs, and they're so clearly off-color a blind person could tell. Send back the reference mangoes and tell them to try again."Or that the job wasn't given to a lazy-ass intern who opened up Paint, looked at a random mango that they were having for lunch, adjusted a few sliders, and said, "yeah, close enough."

As someone who is colorblind, I thought this was a great idea since I can never tell when fruit is ripe. Then I read your comment and realised it doesn't work so well since I thought it was ripe.I always thought colorblind blind people only couldn't distinguish hues. Do you also have trouble with value(the darkness/lightness) and saturation(the more/less intense the color is)?You're right. I've noticed this with guavas too. They do export a different, more shippable quality because it's probably picked when it's less ripe so that it doesn't get damaged during shipment. Similar to how California tomatoes are picked green then ripened on the truck on the way to grocery stores around the country. The flavor just isn't the same because it wasn't allowed to develop on the plant.

Lightness is relative. The human vision (eye + brain interpretation) varies in sensibility to certain visible wavelengths (= 'colors') so light with the same intensity but different colors seems brighter, darker more or less saturated than it really is (it also varies between every individual). This makes building camera sensors such a voodoo science.I think different species might be the cause of that. The mango tree in my Backyard is turning red right now in Florida but my tree in India all mangos turn bright orange.

That's considered one of the shittiest in India. Best Mango is. (Alphonso) 2nd best is kesar(I don't know what you guys call it in English, saffron maybe) Source: Indian.Fun fact: "Langda" means handicap(lacking one leg or having one non-functioning leg) person in Hindi.Because of your username I'm going to ask you this, what are the red and green ones that I buy at supermarkets? I had no idea there were so many varieties.Can't say I'm an aficionado but the Mexican mangos I've had in Mexico taste a fuckton better than the ones I've had in Merica. Maybe they just export the shit batches and keep all the good Runs for themselves.

YuanFeng BPA-Free Silicone Water Bottle Manufacturer Supplies

Absolutely LOVE these water bottles! Yes, they are just bottles that hold water, but these are great. I've tried silicone bottles, but the straw grosses me out a little. How clean can they really get? I know most come with replacement straws, but that only emphasizes my point.... They know you can't get them clean. Yuanfeng bottles don't make sense to me because most of them are like drinking out of a giant mason jar or you have to add a straw. I do like the Thermos bottles, but you can get the Yuanfeng bottles (target or Amazon) for cheaper & in multiple sizes. I drink a lot of water, so I like the 32 oz size (the 40oz is just too bulky). I gave up factory bottled water years ago, so I keep several of these on hand & keep them filled & in the fridge; ready to grab.

I love this water bottle! Lightweight, but no BPA or other nasty chemicals. While it may not be quite as solid or efficient as a Yuanfeng simply cannot be beat! I've never had it leak or had the cap pop open. It is a little inconvenient to have to pop the cap open when you're working out, and it can be hard to take big chugs (maybe not such a bad thing though!). However, it is easy to clean and I can throw it in my bag, and despite being a large water bottle, its tall narrow design and light weight make it very convenient for every day use. Also, I like being able to keep track of how much water I drink during a day.

The place where you put your lips isn’t all out in the open where it can get gross. Neither is it hidden away beneath a cap that takes an hour to unscrew. No, it’s beneath a simple latch that comes off easily, but remains secure when shut. This latch isn’t loose and does not present itself as a danger to my nose. The hole is large enough for chia seeds to come through without a traffic jam, yet small enough for my petite mouth. Though the bottle itself is slightly larger than I would have hoped, it draws the drinker in with it’s sleek design. There is a hook on the side that can securely attach to your gear, perfect for the adrenaline junkie or the soccer mom with five bags. 32 ounces of pure perfection.

I am very picky with water bottles but this has been the best I have ever had. First it's 32 oz so full it up twice in a day and you get the recommended water intake. Second it's leakproof! The watertight cap is perfect on the mouthpiece and the bigger one. I haven't had one spill and i tend to be careless and just throw it on top of things. I love how the loop grip is rubbery and sturdy. The BPA free silicone water bottle supplies itself does not leave a weird taste to the water at all. Just wish the numbers on the side didn't get scratched away but that's just due to every day wear and tear. This is one of the best bottles I've ever owned. I definitely enjoy the spout. I like to chug my water, so straws generally not something that ever works for me. This will let a lot of water out in a hurry. I also enjoy the security of the latch. It isn't easy to open or close. It'll stay shut and won't leak on you unless you definitely intend to open it. I would recommend this to any person looking for a good water bottle to take for workouts or just if they are looking to increase their water intake.

Best Custom No Tie Silicone Shoelaces Supplies in China YuanFeng

I got these because I thought they would be fun to try and maybe even help getting my kids' shoes on a little easier. I tried them out with my 2-year-old daughter's shoes (toddler size 6). I used 4 out of the 5 smallest sizes. They were incredibly hard to get through the holes in her shoes, probably because they have slightly smaller holes than adult shoes. I even bent back a finger nail doing it. Once I got them on I was fairly happy with them, though. I had to wrestle a bit to get her shoes on, but they felt secure on her feet. One shoe did eventually come off on its own, though. I think these are fun and might save some time, but I probably won't bother changing all the kids' shoes to these, especially if they all take about an hour to put through 16 holes.

I love the concept. My daughter knows how to tie her shoes but what is constantly having to retie them. The product itself comes with 2 sets one of each size ... 1 - 10. They make it easy for her to slip her shoes on and off and look really cute. I am not disappointed with the purchase but there is a drawback. Each "lace" has a tip which is designed to thread through the eyelet. It is very difficult to thread them and get them to lay flat inside the shoe. You have to pull very hard. I was worried that I was going to break the ends but they did survive some pretty serious tugging. That is my only real design complaint.... especially since I ruined my manicure putting them in! :)

These no tie shoelaces arrived a couple of days ago and I really like the ease and simplicity they provide. I like the way they are packaged on a cutout of a shoe. This makes them easy to remove and easy to judge the correct size appropriate for each eyelet on the sneaker. They are easy to insert and come with an instructional/troubleshooting sheet that I found very useful. The colors are bright, almost neon... Adding a definite flair to my all white runners.These are a fun product! I have a lot of tennis shoes, and I tend to throw on my shoes that don't require lacing just because I'm lazy, rather than the shoes with more support that require me to tie them. These laces are easy to put on, and make it much quicker to put on the shoes. I don't think I would use them on my best running shoes, but for every day sneakers, they are fun and easy to use!

I really like these rubber no tie shoelaces supplies, I got the rainbow color set, but they come in many color sets including black, red, yellow, green, blue, white, pink & orange. Easy to install just slip in each opposite hole and move up to next, they hold in place good, and are comfortable to wear.If you don’t like to tie shoe laces, or just don’t like the rabbit ear look you will love these. And wow these will be great for kid’s shoes, just slip on and go.If you have arthritis, are dexterity challenged, or just back pain and cant lean over to tie shoes these will be a life saver for you.

They not only came in different colors but one set was rainbow colored, 2) They weren't all one size and 3) They looked easy to "install". I couldn't wait to put these on my shoes as soon as they arrived. They are made of a thick silicone that has a textured, rubbery feel. Each lace is 1 piece and feels quite sturdy. They come on a thick card that looks like a shoe and also has pictures as to how you are supposed to put them on your shoes. Each lace is a different size to correspond to each set of holes on your shoes. You install them from the outside so that when you are done the little end pieces are hidden on the inside of the shoe. I put these on my work shoes because those are the shoes that I spend the most time in. I'm on my feet 8-10 hours a day and these laces definitely stood up to the test. After I put my shoes on I could definitely tell a difference between them and standard laces. They felt snug but not overly tight and never once did they pop out of the holes on my shoes. My shoes are easy to put on and slip off at the end of the day with these new laces on.

China BPA Free Water Bottles Manufacturer Wholesale Silicone BPA Free Water Bottles Supplies

This water bottle is so cool! It collapses very easily and can be stored in a hiking pack or beach bag without taking up hardly any room at all. I'm big on not using disposable plastic bottles and this is the perfect solution to that pet peeve of mine. I've filled it up and tossed it in my bag and it doesn't leak or cause me any worry. It's easy to clean and has been run through my dishwasher a few times without issue. I did receive this for a discount in exchange for a fair and honest review but all opinions and assessments are my own. It's a very convenient and earth friendly product and I would highly recommend.

I ordered the YuanFeng collapsible water bottle to test it for quality, durability and ease of use.I have always liked good quality water bottles and when I saw this one was collapsible, I had to try it and I am glad that I did. This bottle is made of medical grade silicone and is BPA free water bottles and holds 18 ounces or 520 ml. it rolls up pretty small when empty to save space and fits most cup holders. You can freeze it before use for cold water. You can use it for hot drinks but take lid off before placing in the microwave. the lid comes off easily and you can add ice cubes in the top. It has a handle for easy carrying. You can open it to drink with one hand, just undo the metal clip and push the button and it pops open. It is dishwasher safe in the top rack of course and it can hold temps from -40 to 250 F. This is a really nice bottle and seems to be very durable. I had it filled with ice water and dropped it and it did not leak at all. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a nice quality water bottle. It is perfect to roll up, clip it to hold it and toss it in your purse, gym bag, etc.

This is a really great concept an the execution or a foldable water bottle is done nicely and with thoughtful detail. I will admit that I'm a water bottle and coffee cup fanatic. This is my first time owning a bpa free foldable collapsable water bottle. I like that when the bottle is empty there is a little loop that serves as a rubber band to keep the bottle folded and taut. the sealed top is leak proof and the hard click over cap with additional clasp is nice and reduces worry that if it leaks the water will remain in the cap. I also like the placement of the spout. It is right in the middle of the top. I find the the spout is too close to the edge it spills or hits my nose- that is not the case with this bottle. Even when empty the bottle stands on its own and is not wobbly or falling over.

This foldable water bottle is great! It takes up hardly any space when not in use but when in use can hold up to 520 ml. It has a soft silicone strap when I roll it up, I can strap around it so it stays small. It is very simple to undo that strap and it rolls out. The bottle it self is made of soft silicon. It is easy to fill with water and seems to hold up well with no leaks. The bottle also has a lockable clear plastic top and a good size spout to drink from. On the outside of the bottle top there is a white hanger that is good to use to hold on to the bottle when carrying. This bottle is easy to clean as well. I travel a lot so this bottle is going to be great to bring with me as it does not take up much space when not in use. Great product and very happy with it. I received this item discounted in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

Checked The Lint Trap For Roommate Complaining Her Dryer Not Working Well

If you don't know when to change your tires, ask the guy that changes your oil every 3-6 months every time you see him. Actually this is to complicated as well.EVERYONE GO CHANGE YOUR OIL TOMORROW. Then the guy that does the oil change will put a sticker on your window with a date, that is the next time you should change your oil. yeah, I got my oil changed at walmart earlier this year. They wanted me to come back in two months from the date i got it serviced.... uh, i don't think so.

An ex of mine never did car maintenance on his car he owned for 6 years, and the car itself was already over 10 years old. He never even changed the oi once. He didn't drive it very far, just to the university in Tucson and back, so he reasoned he didn't need to bother with the maintenance. Well, I was moving out of the dorms and storing my stuff at a friends place, and he figured he could help. However, he would have to drive on the highway for the first time ever, meaning he would have to exceed 45 mph for quite a long stretch.All depends in urban areas some fire departments run with their fire police that'll deal with it. In rural areas it'll be up to the highest ranking officer there if he wants to get the police involved. If the occupant is being aggressive the police will most likely be called.

As funny as it may seem, I'm one of those people. I do have my oil changed every three months because I know it's good for my engine's health. I just don't know why it's good for it. I assume it degrades with time, heating/cooling, dirt build up, etc, but I haven't even actually looked it up.My upstairs neighbor lit our house on fire this way. The guy actually got mad, that I called the fire department. Apparently, he had drugs in plain sight. I don't really care what you do, but I respectfully draw the line at burning my shit down.FD and PD don't see eye to eye on quite a few things. They both serve completely different purposes and a lot of times the boundaries overlap and problems arise. Google how cops have arrested fire captains.

Yes and no. I mean they can't enter the building until it is no longer idlh (immediately dangerous to life or health) and this is after overhaul is done. The fire investigator might point it out or make a point of it but they are there to find the cause of the fire. I would say most don't care about illegal drugs (unless it's an illicit lab or something and caused the fire or could cause a fire in the future.)Huh ill have to try it with the jelly. Ive always used the same recipe I learned in boyscouts, dryer lint wrapped with a few sheets of news paper, twist at both ends to condense and coat with wax.

Ours (or our parents anyway) was wait till the fuddy duddy scoutmaster types were turned away and pour a litle bit of gas or vodka on the kindling. Or the good ol bugspray flamethrower and some wadded up toilet paper.Both solutions are lighter than those wax things. They light up great even in bad weather, they burn for long enough to get your tinder going, and they squish down to nothing. And they respond to a spark light you wouldn't believe!Is it bad that even though I clean the lint trap every time I use the dryer, that I still have a growing pile of lint saved up from cleaning it each time?

Giving a Struggling Hedgehog a Leg Up

I'd go with the list of animals they consider sentient. Apes, certain birds, dogs, etc. Even then, I think it would only be a second-hand understanding of altruism. They would be thankful for the help, but wouldn't necessarily understand why the human was doing it.Most interesting of all is that while we know what is normally good for these animals given what we learn at school, via documentaries, etc, they somehow just seem to intuitively grasp that we are in distress and need to be taken to shore.Which is scary given the implications. If they can grasp some concept of altruism (aiding a distressed person, or coming to a boat/diver when they need to be freed from a net etc)...what do they think of all the other shit we get up to? Such as when we swoop in and take members of their pod.

I remember my environmental science teacher back in high school commenting that often something like an endangered jungle cat or monkey is often used as the poster child for an environmental movement because they are what evoke an emotional response in the largest number of people. Cute and fuzzy vertebrates are relatable, and if you want to save them, or at least their wild population, then you need to save their environment as well.I specifically prefaced my statement like that because I didn't want it to be lumped in with some "save the whales" political cliche or a bleeding heart, but rather as a more objective "hey there is clearly something different about these handful of species to a degree that we should uniquely revise our treatment of them".

I think the hunting bans are predominately due to conservation/low population. I'm talking about a ban based on the virtue of their intelligence, regardless of a stable population and including capture as well as hunting. I wouldn't wax overly sentimental. Dolphins for example are known for headbutting creatures to death, sometimes I believe their babies even, and sometimes just for fun and when the creature is no real threat at all. While creatures can express behavior and we always want to attribute human concepts to their behavior you have to remember that they don't share the same emotional set we do, they do things for their own reasons and more often then not when we see human like behavior its more coincidence rather then our mental states being overly aligned.

I get where you're coming from. A few years back there was a female Orca off the coast of Cali hunting sharks for sport, just eating their livers. I know that male dolphins are rapey and kill juveniles to force the females to mate again. Chimps wage systematic war and eat peoples faces. I'm not aware of any fucked up things elephants do other than the occasion village rampage. I've read about how difficult it is to compare intelligence across species, and how people are prone to inaccurate projection.I mean, imagine you're out in the wilderness, starving, and a huge terrifying looking bear comes out of the woods right at you, giant scary teeth and claws, and... he hands you a cheeseburger and goes back into the woods. I imagine it's like that.

China Eco Friendly Water Bottles Manufacturer Wholesale Eco Friendly Water Bottles For Kids

I got sick and tired of buying eco friendly water bottles on the other side of security in airports. You can't "cross through" the security line with a water bottle, even if it is unopened! We just took our first trip with these and we got so many comments on them in the airport (LONG layover!). We hooked one (empty) to each side of our backpack, got through security and then filled them up at a water fountain. I hate not having water available throughout a plane flight and being dependent on getting some from the stewardesses. When empty these add practically no weight to the backpack and they can be rolled up and put inside, taking up very little space.

This has quickly become my new favorite eco friendly water bottles for kids. Not only do I love the simple look of this bottle, but it also performs extremely well. Water and iced tea stay super cold in this until the last drop as well. Even more convenient with this water bottle is the lock on the lid cover. It's definitely nice not having to worry about the lid popping open and making a mess everywhere, and the small, simple lock that this environmentally friendly water bottles uses doesn't take away from the look of the bottle. The title definitely holds true in regards to keeping drinks cold and not sweating. To me, these are the most important features of a water bottle, and this one does those things perfectly. I do wish the water bottle was a little bit larger, but at this point I'm just nitpicking.

This company clearly cares about their products, and it shows in the quality of their items. This eco friendly sports water bottles is extremely high quality, and should fill all of your wants and needs when it comes to a daily use eco friendly water bottles. The company is also super useful, sending an email with washing instructions and other supportive notes with your purchase. You really can't go wrong with picking up one of these bottles. High quality, durable material, that will definitely keep your drinks ice cold as long as you need it to. Highly recommended!

I love this eco friendly promotional water bottles. The design of the lid and the bottle are unsurpassed. I love drinking from it, it is lightweight but keeps my water cool for a surprisingly long time, and in several months of daily use, it has never leaked. It is really easy to clean - no weird little spaces where ick could hide. It looks beautiful. The only drawback is the brand name and tagline. I was about to take it to a forest volunteer event, and I just felt like too much of a tool with a "fortune favors the brave" eco friendly water bottles wholesale. Maybe that's just me. In my regular daily life, I keep it in the car or my bag most of the time, so I don't think about it, and it is probably a helpful affirmation. It is really a beautiful, durable, and extremely well made water bottle.

This is a very nice quality eco friendly plastic water bottles. It holds temperature for hours. My cold drink stays cold even in my hot car sitting in the sun. My hot coffee stayed hot in the cold outdoors weather. This bottle is serious aboutthe thermal claim. Whatever you put in here holds its temperature for quite awhilem. The bottle is durable. I have many children and this has been dropped amd dragged and it still very functional. Its easy to clean. Easy to open. Easy to refill and go. If i had one complaint it would be that i wish it held more. If i dont share with any children this is empugh water to get me through a good solid workout.

Collapsible Silicone BPA Free Water Bottles Manufacturer Wholesale Supplies Custom Water Bottles

What can I say...besides this bottle is just what I expected it to be. Perfect size (I know if I drink 2 of these, I get my required amount of water for the day), extremely durable (carrying it around by the loop makes it extremely easy), cute design and the pink I had hoped it to be (it's actually a bit darker pink than the pic shows, but I didn't mind). Nalgene delivers yet another great BPA free water bottle. LOVE my pink wide mouth tritan water bottle, it pretty much goes EVERYWHERE with me, even when spending a full day at Disneyland!I had been using a very old water bottle for far too long - it was free from Eddie Bauer. I always had a suspicion that it was not BPA free, but I finally decided to check and of course, it was not. I immediately went on a search for a bottle that was BPA free and of the same size (1 Quart) while also being durable. My research led me to the Nalgene Tritan and I am completely satisfied with this purchase. I got one in Slate Blue and one in Spring Green. They do not leak whatsoever and I love them both!

The bottle broke on me today. It was full of water and I dropped it from a height of no more than two feet, it cracked completely near the lid. Get a camelback podium Big Chill instead, it is so much better and the insulation is bar none. I ordered it around the same time and I use it daily on bike rides and it has yet to show any signs of wear or damage. You wont spend your afternoon mopping the floor and picking up ice cubes. So what if Nalgene is made in America? If it does not last whats the point? Skip this product.I first bought collapsible water bottles wholesale at the beginning of my Sophomore year of high school. I had just joined the tennis team and needed something that could hold enough water to keep me hydrated with when playing out in the hot Texas sun. Though I don't care much for it being BPA-free, it is a plus. I could have used a metal bottle, but I hate the metal taste that comes with them.

I use this bottle to collect and treat drinking water on back country hikes. This last hike, I missed a catch when my son threw it to me from the creek and it fell about 10 feet onto rocks below. Not a scratch- even though I just knew it was cracked wide open, it was just fine. It is calibrated on the side for oz and milliliters , which is helpful. The wide mouth makes it quick and easy to collect stream water. The lid is easy to screw on and off and is held captive by a retainer. It's a little heavy, but to me it is worth it in sturdiness. I suppose a collapsible bottle would work but I prefer this one. I'd buy it again if I needed another bottle.
I really like the color, it's girly, feminine and family friendly. But I was in a hurry today, and as I was rushing out the door, I might have gently grazed the bottle against the metal front gate. The front gate's been painted over, so it shouldn't be rough because paint is generally smooth and a little soft, right? But when I took a look at the bottle, there was a scratch on it. I thought that the plastic these bottles are made of are supposed to be indestructible. What happened. I would have been very pissed if that gentle scrape caused a leaky hole in the bottle. And I also noticed the underside of the cap where the ridge is between the actual top and the screw top is might be a little bit fragile because it's not really pink all the way around, I might have turned it a little too tight and caused the plastic to warp, or shift out of place? Well anyways, these two things make me wonder if these are genuine Nalgene bottles. I'm still in the first week of use and already I feel like I am handling a liability. But it carries water!

San Francisco Zoo Provoked a Tiger Enough Leapt From its Confinement and Killed Him

It wasn't just the 17 year old. The two brothers who were injured were also doing the taunting, and one witness even stated that Sousa, the 17 year old who was killed, did not participate, but was present.I dunno, blown-out and butt-blasted just seems kinda self-indulgent; like you're going out at the top of your escapism curve.The truckstop bathroom is the nadir of drug addiction. Flickering fluorescent lights, vomit-encrusted tiles, a stillborn baby in one of the toilets. That's where hope for a better life goes to die.The truckstop bathroom is the nadir of drug addiction. Flickering fluorescent lights, vomit-encrusted tiles, a stillborn baby in one of the toilets. That's where hope for a better life goes to die.

The zoo should have enclosures that make it impossible for the animals to get out and have enough staff and security to stop visitors upsetting the animals.They were idiots but the zoo absolutely failed on at least two counts, you can't argue they aren't liable... nor would anyone if the tiger had mauled a baby instead.They weren't drunk, the one that died had a BAC of 0.02, well below the legal limit. Alcohol was found in the car but there is no evidence the other two were drinking at the time. Also, they didn't have weed "on them", a small amount was found in their car.The zoo retracted their false claim about the height of the cage wall and measured under the recommended height. They allegedly ignored reports of the tiger touching the top of the wall in the past.

I don't know if you are sensationalizing the event because you are a DARE officer or you work for the zoo, but either way I feel sorry for anyone who ends up with you as a juror for their trial.Neither of which is illegal in San Jose Francisco, nor does the Zoo turn away intoxicated guests to my knowledge. They most likely sell beer there. I get that this is a shitty situation, but pointing out that minor drug use was involved is pretty arbitrary. (plus it kind of makes you look like the guy from the Stella D'oro breakfast treats commercial IMO) I'd guess that there's about a 0% chance that liquor/weed is to blame for the tiger getting out of captivity, and the fact that it escaped and killed someone is due to the zoo's negligence, not due to the fact that the people involved were partying. Combined with the fact that the victim wasn't even taunting the tiger and your point seems pretty moot.

The wall was built several feet shorter than required. Not only did it pass the initial inspection, it passed regular inspections by the National Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Basically, several different people were tasked with measuring the height of that wall over several years, and every single one of those people either didn't actually do the measurement or lied about what they found.I just wouldn't bother tigers, shit you hear about creepy stories in the wild about them being vindictive as fuck, remembering someone years and years later, hunting them down over hundreds of miles just to murder them for pissing them off. Stay the fuck away from tigers, there's a reason they aren't usually kept in zoos.Same. I once saw a documentary about a vindictive bengal tiger that held such a grudge against a little indian boy, that it took a bear, a panther, an entire wolf pack, and a forest fire to save him.

Orlando SWAT Officer Took a Bullet to the Helmet During Pulse Raid

This is the picture that needs to be out there. Not the pictures of the shooter that's being spread around. He doesn't deserve any publicity.Honestly, if we want this shit to end, the photos released should be of all the blood and bodies. This is what helped in the civil rights era, when Emmett Till's mother requested an open casket so that people could see what racism was doing to the sons (and daughters) of our country.Look at how much attention they get for doing something bad for 5 minutes...by comparison how much good you need to do to make the news is astonishing...you could dedicate a career to saving lives all day, and still never make the news. So if you're insane, and don't care about people's lives...what's the easier option?

You can be all over the news instantly. They do in other countries... I think it's kind of like in previous times throughout history... The reign of terror for instance, people got their heads chopped off in public, and so most of France pledge allegiance to the French Republic. Though public execution is a bad thing, I'm just giving that as an example to what the possible out come of the bullet ridden body might do.That's a huge fear of mine, breaking ribs off the sternum, or something, but everyone tells me in the event you're so jacked you don't think about it.As someone who does it for a living I can tell you that when it happens, you will be thinking about it. You just have to put it out of your mind until you're done doing compressions.

Was taught the same thing. Except my teacher advised that we don't even attempt CPR if we were traveling in the US (from Canada) due to the fact we might get sued for breaking their ribs. I told her that she should give her head a good shake.Random question since I'm not a gun person, doesn't the AR-15 shoot a smaller round than a handgun? So it wouldn't be as impressive as the helmet taking a bullet from a handgun, let alone a weapon like an AK. Regardless, I've seen military report helmets taking bullets from sniper rounds (like this guy, SFW), which in most cases I'd assume would have higher stopping power - so they're still very impressive. The short answer is it has to do with speed, yes a .45 cal bullet is big, weighty and impressive however the charge behind it is small compared to the grain count in an 5.56 or .223 that the AR fires. Imagine being hit with a softball thrown by a middle schooler, now imagine being hit with a baseball thrown by a major league pitcher. Little hurt worse right? But the ball is smaller.. yea but the baseball is being thrown at 80mph, the soft ball is being thrown at 15mph.

When talking about penetrative ability the biggest concern is velocity of the projectile.The size of a bullet mostly determines how much damage it does on entry. Actual penetration is more due to speed, and thus the amount of propellant stored in the round. The AR15 does shoot 5.56 mm, which are smaller in diameter, but which contain much more propellant(and thus fly faster and go through things easier). Most combat helmets are only rated for shrapnel and up to maybe a 9mm handgun bullet. That doesn't mean that they can't stop more, they can and they do, but there is no guarantee it will stop a rifle bullet.Edit: So you guys are all pretty much right. I'm using stop in the context of your head not exploding. More than likely it will only deflect a rifle bullet, if anything at all.And semi-auto black scary looking rifles shoot the same ammo as fully auto assault rifles, in this case either .223 or 5.56 NATO rounds. Still impressive that his helmet stopped the bullet.That's my line of thinking also, it most likely lost a lot of energy somewhere in between leaving the muzzle and impact. Still could have been plenty lethal without the helmet, though.

No Tie Elastic Slip on Silicone Shoelaces Wholesale Silicone Shoelaces Supplies

Tried a similar product that worked OK (ulaces) but one package didn't have enough ties for even one shoe, so I turned to this product for my child with fine motor skill problems. Unfortunately, this was horrible. They were hard to get through the holes to lace, did not stretch enough for my kid to get his foot in the boot, and when I tried to stretch it, they popped back out. And I got the adult pack, not the kid. The kid pack would not have fit at all considering the adult really didn't either. The design is weird going big to small. I should have looked at that closer. We switched to lock laces. They work so much better.

Purchased for senior parents - increasingly difficult to bend and reach shoes, and impossible for them to tie! Put these on their sneakers and with the extended shoe horn I purchased, they are able to put their shoes on themselves! Trust me, when we get to be their age, we will appreciate every ounce of independence too. Not only are they great for those with mobility issues, I believe that the next generation will not have to know how to tie their own shoes. No doubt, these will replace standard shoelaces. When my children were young, I taught them how to double tie, but still worried that they would trip on the remaining length of laces. Though I cringe when subsequent generations have no need to tell time (with digital watches / clocks), and some parents celebrated not having to read to their children anymore (won't mention any toys that can read - ugh!), I believe the safety factor of non-tie shoelaces will outweigh my belief that teaching children how to tie their shoes is one of the joys of parenting.

These no-tie laces are so great. Ive been looking for a better alternative to those elastic no-tie laces that come with the larger ancors. These are easy to install and they look great. If your shoes have small lace holes it'll be a little tougher to install them. I used them on some adidas basketball shoe i have, and at first I couldn't get then in the holes. I was afraid that if i pulled them too hard the rubber tabs would tear off, but once i figured out how durable they are i had no problem stretching them through the holes. These laces dont tear, so dont be afraid to pull them hard thru the holes. One side of the lace is smooth, and the other side has a textured giving u the appearance of normal laces. I have already recommended these to friends and have myself bought various colors. Im so glad i don't have to worry about tying my shoes anymore, or having to make sure all the laces are sitting correctly on my shoe. I get that clean look every time.

One tiny piece broke, but overall they hold together pretty well. The only negative aspect is upon wearing them, you can feel the part of silicone that is inserted into the hole. I've gotten used to it, but it was awkward at first, like there were pebbles on the tongue of my shoe hitting the top of my foot. Still happy with the product and would buy again. Shoes slip on and off easily and doesn't feel like they will fall off during wear.No Tie Shoelaces For Adults Wholesale are really hard to get in the holes. Several times I wanted to give up and toss them in the trash. It took a long time and my thumb was sore but I managed to get them on. My son loves them. He can slip them on and go. The company needs to come up with an easier application process.

I got these for my son who's 6 yrs old. He has to wear dress shoes to school and the laces are so thick and short, that double knotting them to prevent them coming untied wasn't working. I've tried a couple different options and these have been the best by far! The holes in his shoes are small, so it took some yanking to get them in, but then we've never had a problem with them coming out! And they are textured, so they don't look funny at all. Nobody has ever said a word about them, they just look like regular laces.I bought these for my non sport shoes, and they are ok since I'm not playing, training, running, etc.. They were hard to get through the holes in my shoe, but a chopstick worked great. I used the bands from the smallest on the bottom and worked my way up, but they didn't line up great with the tongue flap slide through pocket and now looks like its pulling up. Also they are slightly looser than i would like, but again I'm not running around in these. Overall I would but again. They do save me from leaning over and killing my back tying a shoe.

I used these with Rocket Dog's "Jazzin" sneaker and they are excellent. I wear a women's 6.5 and used all but 3 "laces" on each shoe. Place one whole side (all of the holes top to bottom) first, and then start to secure the other side (beginning with the bottom). Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty simple. I would only recommend these for casual wear, not for endurance or rigorous activity. I am a long distance runner and I don't see these working well with running shoes (for those I use Lock Laces). But for casual wear, these silicone laces are perfect!These are the best! I was looking for a solution for lace-up shoes and kids who can't tie them on their own. Enter: Homeout No Tie Shoelaces! I ordered a white set for my son's Converse shoes and a black set for a pair of his boots and they work great! They can be a bit tricky to "install," especially if the shoe lace "holes" are small, but after that, they are stretchy enough to get his feet into and tight enough to keep his shoes on comfortably. I am no longer afraid of buying lace-up shoes for my kids .

The shoelaces work great and are a better alternative to lock laces in my opinion. Lock laces have a good piece of the lace that protrudes out above the lock, which is difficult to tug away. These laces do not require any tying and look clean. They have silicone ends that do into the holes, and stay in place very well. The material is flexible, which makes putting on the shoes easy and quick.not a fan. They didn't fit through the holes on my running shoes without a pair of long nose pliers to pull them through, but once I got them in, they were ok but they were a little loose so I tried to get the top one out to put a shorter one on and I had to cut it. It' wouldn't go back through the hole. It only took about an hour to put them on the shoes... I would only recommend these if you have large holes for your shoes strings.

Love them. I had to enlarge my shoelace holes on my shoes by inserting a pen-shape object in each hole. But once I did that, it was easy to install the No Tie Shoelaces. Also I used only the five largest shoelace sizes and left my two tip-top holes on each shoe empty. Works great.My 6 year old knows how to tie his shoes, he just doesn't so instead of fighting him on it with his school shoes I replaced the laces with these. No Tie Shoelaces Wholesale has helped me keep my sanity from asking him every 5 minutes to tie his shoes. His teacher are equally glad that he is not tripping over untied laces anymore. I wouldn't recommend these for sports type shoes like shoes intended for running, soccer, or other sports. He has them on his every day recess playing new balance shoes and they work perfectly.
