I believe Elinda's point was that PVC piping is typically rigid (particularly for large municipal use) and thus doesn't require much in the way of phthalates which are used to keep the plastic soft at normal temperatures.
PVC used as a 'fabric' and the like would be a different story. But that's not much of a water leeching concern unless you have really weird pipes.

Let me try this again.
Cigarette smoke causes lung cancer.
Asbestos causes Mesothelioma.
Vaccines don't cause Autism.
Lead exposure causes brain damage in children.
PVA causes breast and testicular cancer, infertility, and probably causes emotional imbalances via it interfering with our hormonal systems.
No matter how rigid the water pipe.
You remember how they discovered most crude oil derived synthetics were endocrine disruptors? Because they thought that all this fish and animal infertility around lakes might be caused by leftover birth-contorl chemicals in women's urine. Except when they investigated that theory, they ruled the birth control out and the PVC pipes in, along with other plastic and petrochemical pollution. What does every oestrogen have in common? A benzine ring and being fat-soluable. What do most petrochemicals, synthetic plastics and synthetic fragrances have in common? A benzine ring and being fat-soluble. This isn't something to blank out of your mind because imagining a life without plastic is too hard. There are cheap and easy alternatives right now. There are a heap of plastics and synthetics that AREN'T endocrine disrupting. And the test to find out is simple and cheap. Welcome to the next Senate hearing. "Sir, when did you first know that there was a scientific consensus showing that the product you sell causes cancer and infertility?"
Have you seen Coca-cola's new "beach-ready Coke bottle" ? The bottle itself is shipped to food stands frozen. It's made of ice. When you are done with your soda, you have a nice chunk of ice to melt into a towel or whatever. And no plastic bottle to worry about recycling (or leaching chemicals.) Yeah, it takes more energy to ship the bottles frozen than it does just "cold" but not that much more, and the reduced cost of packing probably makes up for it.
Why would I want to get my towel all cold and wet versus just chucking the empty at a seagull?
And who wants to hold a chunk of ice while drinking their soda?

Wow. Regular ol' Joph fan club in here.
The biggest source of exposure to BPA and other phthalates is in food packaging. Most canned goods are lined with a thin plastic membrane that contains BPA. Flexible plastic food containers most likely contain PBA. I would definitely insure baby bottles, pacifiers, teething rings, etc were BPA free. Kids toys have mostly gotten away from phthalates as the EU banned their use years ago. There are still some around though. Often times the really cheap bulk toys you buy at the dollar stores and what-not are rejects from other countries. Avoid them.
Just to make this point again in the hopes to try quell the spread of mountainous, though not necessarily accurate, tree-hugger info, PVC does not automatically come with additives and PVC it'self is not an endocrine disrupter. Sure, burning PVC releases dioxins - this is bad, but PVC water pipe is not implicated in exposure to endocrine disrupters.

I'd think the melting chunk of ice would be sticky with soda residue.
Still ice created containers is an interesting idea. At the bar I worked at we'd get all sorts of special promotional stuff from the booze distributors. These were usually related to some holiday or other special even. On Valentines day Baileys Irish Cream would provide us with little chocolate cups to serve their liqueur in and little chocolate stir sticks. Very few ever made it out to the customers.

Stabbing someone with that bottle would certainly be efficient.

I think my problem would be that the ice would melt before I'd finished the soda. That could get messy.

Well, that's part of the problem. You'd have to stab them pretty quick, before your knife turns into a club.

Ice bullets. Some one needs to invent them.
Or maybe they already have..

There was a Mythbusters on that. Not that I remember how it turned out or anything.

Myth statement Status Notes An ice bullet can kill someone without leaving a trace. Busted The ice bullet evaporated before it could leave the barrel. This myth was retested in Myths Revisited, and remained busted with slow-frozen ice. A meat bullet can kill someone without leaving a trace. Busted The hamburger bullet fragmented on contact with the skin, causing only superficial damage. A gelatin bullet can kill someone without leaving a trace. Busted The bullet did not cause fatal injury from the 6.5x52mm Mannlicher-Carcano round, but had better result from a revolver at point-blank range. Desiring a more subtle assassination tool, the pair examined the Bulgarian umbrella. An assassin can use a poison capsule fired from an umbrella to kill someone without leaving a trace. Confirmed It was found to have been the cause of death of a notable Bulgarian journalist in exile, Georgi Markov. The MythBusters build a pair of replicas with a gas cylinder and an air gun, and fired both to lethal effect without leaving gunpowder burns.

Ice doesn't hold form as well when dealing with that kind of force.

Bones revisited the myth with a bullet made of frozen blood. According to TV-script-land, because blood has different freeze/evaporate temperatures to water, a blood bullet works as a bullet, and is bloody* hard to find trace evidence of.

PS I'm very glad you are not out of work Kaolian, although nasty paycut is bad enough, not to mention the stress on you and everyone who gets sacked and your work being trashed so illogically.

Except if you miss, and then there is a convenient blood coated hole in the wall/floor/innocent bystander.

Well, there'd probably be a convenient blood coated hole in the wall/floor/innocent bystander if you hit, too.

The thing about frozen liquid rounds is that they aren't supposed to leave exit wounds. They're like cheap hollow points.

If we can pretend it would survive evaporation, we can pretend it could puncture through fleshmeats and walls.
