Horrible stench and Poor quality

these were really bad... 1. They smelled HORRIBLE. I understand the company makes or buys them wholesale so its cheaper so quality is a little on the lesser side but I washed them in my dishwasher and had to let them sit in soap for a few hours until they finally lost that stench. Its like a strange Sour chemical smell and it lingers until a few washes. 2. The glass is very brittle. One of the bottles were slightly frozen in a fridge and it actually ended up just falling to pieces because it couldn't handle the expansion of the frozen water. I understand this is common with glass containers but regardless it was barely frozen and broke on its own. 3. The interior design of the caps are really bad and tough to clean as well. They have this metallic smell to them that seems to never go away. thankfully it doesnt rub off on the bottle but its still worrying to be sipping from a bottle that has a metallic smelling cap. Overall there are some serious quality issues and I would haven no problem paying more for this item but at this point I feel like I was cheated and it wasn't worth the price at all. stay away.
