As the saying goes, if you want to be healthy, you must drink plenty of water.
With the rapid development of the economy, many young people are now living a healthy life of soaking goji berries in a thermos cup, but did you know that if you don’t pay attention when using a thermos cup, your eyes will even pop out?
This is not alarmist talk. The topic "Song Zuer was sprayed with soda water by a thermos cup" rushed into the hot search. Many people began to question, is the thermos cup safe.
Song Zuer, who was live broadcasting at that time, suddenly felt a little thirsty and picked up the thermos cup to drink water. Unexpectedly, there was a "swish" in the cup, and a transparent liquid rushed out. After a while, Song Zuer sprayed on the face.
Since it was a live broadcast, this scene also shocked the staff next to it and the audience in front of the screen. Then Song Zuer explained that this cup was not boiled water, but a carbonated drink, which made everyone gasp.
But it also sparked heated discussions: Why is the quality of this cup so poor? What if the cup is filled with boiling water and the child accidentally opens it?
Some netizens posted their personal experiences in the comment area:
This incident may simply be caused by the increase in air pressure in the cup after placing the carbonated beverage in a closed space and shaking it vigorously.
However, the following example reminds people:
Jingjing is an ordinary migrant worker. One day, she was printing out materials when she heard an explosion. Looking up, my colleague's vacuum flask exploded, and even the peripheral vision from the corner of his eye was blown out by the explosive bomb. Jujube and Wolfberry were injured.
Jingjing saw that the corner of her colleague's eye was bleeding, so she hurriedly took her to the hospital for a bandage. Fortunately, the injury was not serious, and the doctor said there would be no scars.
Immediately afterward, the doctor said: "Every winter, many patients are injured due to the explosion of the thermos cup. Speaking of the reasons, one is that the quality of the thermos cup is not good enough, and the other is improper use."
Unexpectedly, a small hot water bottle can have such a big impact.
"Murdering mug" was repeatedly exposed by CCTV
CCTV's financial channel previously broadcast a program called "Economic Information Network". In this episode, they announced the test report of the thermos cup.
The program team sent some staff to major shopping malls and supermarkets to purchase a batch of thermos cups. A total of 50 different brands were selected, each with a different style.
Then pour boiling water, milk, and tea into these thermos cups, and prepare to observe the follow-up situation after three days.
Unexpectedly, in just three days, when these thermos cups were opened, there were visible corrosion marks on the inner wall, and even the tea gave off a strange smell.
After testing by professionals, it was found that the thermos cup was corroded from milk and tea water very seriously. Compared with boiling water, these two degrees of corrosion are very obvious.
Among all the samples, there were 19 types of thermos cups with heavy metals exceeding the standard, and the failure rate was as high as 40%.
Later, some staff conducted more professional tests on these thermos cups, and the results showed that the materials used to make these thermos cups contained a large number of heavy metals, such as nickel, manganese, and chromium.
If normal people often drink water containing nickel, it is easy to cause respiratory tract irritation and skin damage. If it is manganese poisoning, it can cause acute corrosive gastroenteritis or irritant bronchitis, or pneumonia.
In addition, the physique of children is not as good as that of adults. If children drink water containing heavy metals for a long time, they are prone to chronic poisoning, which may even be life-threatening in severe cases.
