My kids got the flasks for Christmas gift. The bottles fit well into a satchel and the kiddies warm drinks in the winter and cold drinks so can now drink in the summer. So far there were no problems, that something would have expired. The lovely color and shape was good for my kids to .... But .... yes because here comes one more "buts": We have now March and the bottles are just 3 months old. Here begins now, flake the red color, which makes them look very ugly! (Note: We rinse the bottles only with warm washing water by hand from No aggressive cleaning agents or the like are applied.) Thus, unfortunately only 3 stars.
