I'm from the UK and purchased mine from a local Sainsbury's supermarket. I know a product can fail but don't like the way Thermos dealt with my issue. I will not only never purchase a Thermos glass vacuum flask again, I also have no confidence in purchasing any items from Thermos again. They failed one of their customers. Before this incident I use to purchase Thermos flasks since I was age 12 from 1973 and glass Thermos flasks from around 1985-86. I use to go on hikes in Scotland, Wales, Lake district and used my flask for hot drinks and cold drinks. My parents have purchased thermos flasks even before I was born in 1961. I now use Stanley stainless steel flasks and will not touch glass or Thermos again
Hi, I came across your video while googling something similar which happened while drinking cold water from a flask in a hotel in Bangkok. I only saw the shiny particles when it reflected with lights on. During the night I was tired after a long flight and I drank it without noticing it. I complained to hotel but they just brought another one and took the one which had the issue. I felt sick badly after a year but sure if it was because of this. Did you manage to find out what it was and monitor your health.
This flask is dangerous. The high possibility of drinking bits from inside of the flask makes this flask a no go, dangerous flask. It 's just the thought of drinking silver particles from inside the flask. I may still have undigested bits inside of me.
You use a Stanley flask if you want safety, but never use Thermos unless you want to drink glass. More so it is their customer service is dreadful and has put me off purchasing Thermos products for life. My experience with Thermos was not good.
Ouch.. Damn this is scary!! thanks for sharing this! Looks like the quality been dropping hard for real.. we've never have any issue with it (generic thermos even) and my fam had the vintage glass flask for over 15 years now. They replaced it in 2012 cause the outer shell being finally corroded... p.s Oh, to new owner of glass thermos of any brand, do not shake the flask while the cap being sealed on it! I just do that to an ice water and it exploded on me!! I just recently bought it for a day😅 thought i can shake it like aluminium bottle turns out NOT! fastest record of my $18 burned out 🥲
@@life107familyfitnessboxing8 yep. I also hate brittle stuff with passion. First and last purchase. The thermost I've mentioned are bought online. It looks quite modern, turn out ancient inside! I also got the Stainless flask too! Never had any issue with it. I Will buy more aluminum thermos
I have just had the same experience with an argos Thermos Mondial Flask - 1.8L826/1425, the particles in mine has been very fine, I only noticed when I poured the water in a glass, it was cloudy hence I checked and saw the fine shiny particles
Don't drink from a thermos Glass flask your are risking your health by using it. Thermos didn't even seen to care about my accident with their flask. I will never purchase another Thermos product again
Some people are lucky. I was the unlucky one. I will never use one again. A Stanley stainless steel flask is far safer. I don't have to worry about drinking internal parts of the flask as part of my diet.
I once swallowed broken glass accidentally . I had put some home-made condiment in a cut glass whiskey glass on the side of the spoon had broken the side of the glass but I didn't spot it because of the ornate Cutglass pattern. anyway the doctor said that the body is very good at getting rid of sharp stuff you swallow , fibre is a great idea but you can overdo it and get constipated
I've had 4 glass based flasks in the last month from Asda. Every single one failed during the the making of drinks. Im not sure if its a defect but I have gone through 1 a week. Moved onto a stainless one... never going to use a glass one again. PS Don't buy the 1L/1.8L Asda living flask as after further inspection, the thin glass internals has no support except where its attached at the neck. Meaning if your flask is on its side or upright with the weight of a full bottle, the heat and the weight of the water will make the glass fail.
I took great care with mine and never dropped it once. I drunk the inside lining of the flask before I noticed it. Never again will I purchase anything from Thermos. Customer support is terrible. I made contact with them and they were not efficient in dealing with my complaint. It has nothing to do with being a glass thermos flask for me it's the company "THERMOS" That I will never purchase a product from again and will discourage anyone from purchasing. As a customer one may have a nightmare experience with a product. If dealt with properly by the company, reassuring the customer all may be ok but Thermos are dreadful.
My ASDA 1.8 one worked one day with ice cold water then the next day it leaked and all the insides were collapsed I hadn't banged it at all. I had put ice cubes into it.
Make him be aware that he could, one day be drinking internal parts of the flask. I use a stainless steel Stanley flask, no more glass vacuum flasks for me
That's strange. I bought an almost identical model (probably the predecessor to this model) @ Dunkin Doughnuts in '94-'95. Same cup, lid, etc. The only difference I see is my handle is connected at the bottom. It still works exceptionally well. Thermos must've changed their manufacturing process. Since it happened twice it's clearly defective. Sorry, you had to deal w/ it & hope you recovered okay.
Thanks. I was rather disappointed because I have used Thermos Glass flasks all my life up until then when I started drinking bits of the internal broken flask. Never will I purchase from Thermos again
My dad's been using thermos flask for ten years and counting the same flask is older than my first son. And we wash it everyday sometimes open it bring the glass out and wash the whole thing. But nothing like that
@@life107familyfitnessboxing8 That’s fair, I just see so many comments of these flasks failing and with not pre-warming them being a sure fire way to break the glass bottle that it’s a safe assumption a lot of people aren’t doing that.
I wash all my flasks from new before use with some light washing liquid and a good rinse. No scrubbing just wash with washing liquid and rise with cold water. Thermos flask glass vacuum flask never again for me. I use Stanley stainless steel flask and they are safe and unbreakable.
Ok to start i couldn't watch because of obnoxious noise some call music . Secondly glass is one of the very best insulators and sorry but always will be . Yes the down side is they can break . Knowing what your doing is best with these . Um yeah good.... video ..
Ok, to start with, 1. music is subjective, so what you think of the music that I like or listen to is not my problem. I listen to a very wide variety of music from Jazz, soul, Rock, classical, ambient, house, garage, techno, (a little of) Theme music from movies, and more which shows that I have greater dearth of taste than you have. My scope is not narrow but wide. This is great because I am able to enjoy more than you. 2. Secondly, I have not posted this video to show that glass is one of the very best insulators. This video is here to warn people of the dangers of this type of glass vacuum flask. 3. There is no need for you to be sorry. I am already aware that glass is a great insulator and this video is (as mentioned) not about that. 4. When I owned and used one of these, I knew what I was doing with it and was fully aware how to use it. It failed with dangerous consequences. I use a Stanley Stainless steel flask and it has been 100% reliable. 5. Thank you for the video complement.
The flask is dangerous. You will be drinking bits without realising it. I had to eat loads of Wheat bran and porridge to clear my body of the consumed debris from the flask. This is a dangerous product I will never purchase from them again
I suppose you shouldn't drink beer out of glass either or use glass tumblers ban glass am I right and plastic because it ruins the environment might as well
I think that maybe you may have tipped ice cubes into your flask before you filled it and one of those cubes has fractured the inside lining of the flask.
I just used very cold water from my fridge. The flask keeps the water cold , so there is no need for ice. If the water is Ice cold it hurts the teeth, so very cold is enough. @@domdom9496
I purchased two of them from Sainsburys supermarket and they both went on me. Maybe they stored them wrong or dropped them in storage. When I purchased them it was ok for a short while then I found myself drinking bits of my flask and the fluids together. I will never touch one again ever. I had to eat lots of porridge oats with bran roughage to clear the internal swallowed junk from my body.
If you have a glass thermos flask, the same can happen to you. Make sure you don't drink any coffee, tea of hot beverages in the dark or you could be drinking the internal contents of this flask without realising it. In fact even cold drinks the same can happen. Each time you pour a drink for drinking make sure you check the contents of the liquid before consuming it. I will never purchase from thermos again. I am very disappointed with their customer service and as customer for over 30 years have no confidence in them
Music i hated secondly if you don’t realise that it’s broke that’s like not realising your pint glass is shattered & the Circumstances to what happened is the one off I doubt I’ll ever be in a dark room needing a flask. I’d know if something was in with my liquid surely I would. Notice more dislikes than likes why watch a video most people disliked & so did I!
You are entitled to your opinion. I'm not a expert at putting my point across but this does not matter because I'm working on it. What is important is that I'm still alive and not seriously sick. I will never drink from one of those flasks again after the experience I had with it. The most important thing for me is to never use one again. I am just sharing my experience using one. Stanley stainless steel flasks are by far, much safer. Thank you for your opinion
Hi to all! I hope someone can clarify my concern about vacuum flasks with glass material inside. Currently, we have three vacuum flasks of this type for storing hot water. I believe they're made from China. My concern is that every time I pour hot water from the flasks, I can see very tiny crystals or particles that look like glitters but really really small, almost microscopic you can't even feel it when you drink the water. I was thinking it could be the glass breaking down or the silver lining/coating that's probably corroded because of hot temperature. I'm not sure. We've been using this type of flask for decades. I'm just worried about the health of my family. I hope someone knowledgeable would respond.
Don't use it, they are not safe. Glass vacuum flasks are very dangerous (In my opinion very dangerous after my experience using them) I swallowed particles without knowing. I'm sure Thermos the manufacturers of this flask don't want to hear things like this but I am very disappointed in the way they handled my complaint. My flask's internal lining invaded my liquid inside the flask then invaded my body. I had to eat porridge oats with lots of wheat bran to remove the particles from my body. I personally will never use one again. Stick to a stainless steel vacuum flask. I'm sure that Thermos takes care the way they handle their flasks in their warehouses before delivery to the retailers but I'm not sure about Sainsburys where I purchase the flask from. They may have dropped the flask. This happened to two of the Glass thermos flasks I purchased. I am a customer and user of this flask and would stay well away from them. I have a Stanley Vacuum stainless steel flask and it's it perfect with no defects after 1 year plus of use.
Would be a good idea. Better still they should scrap this dangerous flask. It only takes one dangerous experience. Just imaging if I were feeding a toddler from this flask?
I gave your comment a thumbs down. How do I react to a comment like yours, when you know nothing of my ability to use a flask safely? I have been using glass vacuum flasks for a while and know how to follow instructions to the T. The flask failed me dangerously. If I could not read and follow instruction on how to use a flask your comment would have some merit. Your comment is dumb as you sound.
@life107familyfitnessboxing8 you asked how you react too my comment and then reacted. So you know how. Lol oh and I've used them for years and never had an issue. Guess it's down too supplier then.

Yes
These flasks are so fragile, did you pour in boiling water without preheating it with warm water first by any chance?
No. I am very aware of thermal expansion. Studied this subject at school in my Physics class. I always warmed the flask up first
