@Ozzie, The Last Hairbender: Damn! I wouldn't want to lose that lint! I've been collecting some of that since the Kennedy administration!

@mclark2112: The bamboo is just an outer jacket. The internal bottle is glass, which is better, but the screw-on lid is plastic. So your complaint is off a little, but still valid!
