Recently, I was gifted with an engraved "hip flask".
On the bottom, stamped "Stainless Steel"
right next to the "Made in China " imprint.

The enclosed papers warn;
"DO NOT store any liquids in this container
for more than four days ! After that, drain, and rinse."

What aren't they telling me ?

I don't intend to work thru a flask of brandy every four days......

Stainless steel ??

I think the amount of chrome is the quality factor of SS that keeps it
from rusting, the chinese use all sorts of poisonous metals, since its
chinese id say dont drink out of it, 2, it says warning, it probably
came from a decomissioned reactor knowing the poisons chinese have
been peddling as safe and pure, they dont care, they poison their own
for a extra buck. Dump it out

Sounds like a great container to keep spare BBs in...
