Looks like what should actually be concerning people is the nickel in the inner metal that leeches into hot and acidic drinks. The cups are "designed" for cold drinks only, but people certainly aren't using them that way.

Wait, I haven't been following this at all. Are you telling me they made insulated cups that cannot safely hold a hot beverage?

That's just what the Snopes article said.

It is stupid that they can't hold hot drinks without leeching nickel into the liquid.
