Assuming it's residue, you can clean it using alcohol.. If that does not work, use automotive liquid wax to wipe insides using something longs that bends, such as a long tie wrap and some napkin at the end of it. Then alcohol again..


Plastics tend to release chemicals once used or stored for sometime. For example, plastic bottles release estrogen (very bad). Yours could be related to plastics releasing what you are tasting.. In this case there is nothing you can do but replace it.


I decided against hydration systems for this same reason, difficulty of cleaning, and expensive. I want to be replacing plastics, because I rely on low estrogen count in my blood stream for buff, low fat look. Estrogen gets into me from everywhere, the foods, contact with plastics, orally through water from plastic bottles, tap water. I minimize it for the maximum effect.

So what do your Tevas taste like?


So now all the food in your freezer is going to taste like moth poison.

Dude, moth poison is not food.
