The snopes article came up when I searched cooler corn on Yahoo!

I found this, seems to be OK.
Here is more info on Ice chests:

HDPE (high density polyethylene) is used in milk, juice and water containers in order to take advantage of its excellent protective barrier properties. Its chemical resistance properties also make it well suited for items such as containers for household chemicals and detergents. Most five gallon food buckets are made from HDPE

.

PP (polypropylene) has high tensile strength, making it ideal for use in caps and lids that have to hold tightly on to threaded openings. Because of its high melting point, polypropylene can be hot-filled with products designed to cool in bottles, including ketchup and syrup. It is also used for products that need to be incubated, such as yogurt. Many Cambo, Tupperware and Rubbermaid food storage containers are made from PP.

As a general rule:

• Food storage containers sold at restaurant supply stores are made of food grade HDPE, PP, or polycarbonate.
• The interior of ice chests are made of food grade HDPE.
• Any white, opaque plastic bucket that contains food for human consumption is made of food grade HDPE

Toxic Plastic Water & Baby Bottles - A Health Concern Explained

Plastics #1-#2
Polyethylene & HD Polyethylene (PET, HDPE) are considered safe to use in normal conditions where the plastic will not leak too much into water. HD Polyethylene #2 is the more durable of the two. However these plastics may leach when exposed to UV, heat and over time from natural breakdown. The FDA deems this plastic to be safe but you should error on the side of safety. Never put hot liquids into these plastics, leave them out in the sun, or reuse these bottles. Also check for shelf-life as leaching will intensify over time. Think one-time, single-use only!

Great Weekend - Fishing on Saturday and Butts on Sunday.

 

[nnuut]

That's one hell of a catch, wow! And those Butts are lookin' good too!:laugh:

 

[polarbear]

Awesome!

in Fountain along US231. The Gulf is a great source of seafood. I'm glad I live here. I could eat seafood just about everyday.

 

[nnuut]

That's one hell of a Pig Cooker, wonder who made it? Butt Hut:laugh:

 

[polarbear]

I wonder too. It's an artwork, they burn wood in it, they bbq in the back, see 2nd picture. They named it after their 3yr old son, own the land, and hope he will take it over, and are frustrated by county rules that say they don't have enough parking space for a sit-down area, maybe enclosed, with tables. Good grief! Such crazy rules. Looks like enough parking space to me.

There are a number of guys where I work who would identify all these fish. I took the picture to one of them and he identified most of them. Then I took it to Buddy Gandy's and the fellow who was hosing off the table and saw identified all of them. Actually, to start with I could a few.

The three held to the right are greater amberjack. The one held on the left is a blackfin tuna. The five light-gray fish in rear on right are triggerfish. The yellow splotched in front (5-6) are chicken dolphin or just dolphin or mahi. The two small red ones on the right are B-liners, also called vermillion snapper. Now on the left on the deck the pink big one in the back is red grouper, the red in middle probably B-liner (vermillion snapper) or maybe red snapper. The beige-gray ones there are scamp. Looking at this picture makes me realize I need to start doing deep-sea fishing as soon as I retire, end of this year. It's a must.

It's funny, but my buddy at work said of the bluefin tuna that it's vaguely similar to a bonita, and when I went into BG's, they had 3 or 4 big bonita on ice there, which I had never seen there before; they said for shark bait or some people eat them. They have an interesting curly-cue or arabesque pattern on their sides: dark-bluish-gray against background of light-gray. Never saw them before.

 

[nnuut]

Wow, I think I recognized one or two:embarrest:, I'd do much better with fresh water fish.

 

[polarbear]

That applet is cute as all get out.

Thanks, Do you fish?

Busy day today getting ready for the 4th of July BBQ Pool Party tomorrow.
1. Mow and trim the lawn.
2. Clean up Grill.
Getting warm so have to start early.

 

[nnuut]

Done with the cuttin', trimin' and cleaning up, time to start some fixin' and marinating.

 

[polarbear]

I will after I retire, which is end of this year.

 

[nnuut]

Retirement!!! Perfect time to concentrate on your BBQ. Tonight I'm grilling THICK Pork Steaks to go along with Eggplant Parmesan. So seasoning it the Italian way, Sear them but don't cook them too long just enough to turn the meat white, that will make them tender.

 

[nnuut]

Roasting a 6 Lb Prime Rib for tonight
Smells so good I wish we could eat NOW
But have to wait for the kids to come over
they better hurry up I can't wait to long.:laugh:
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.​

LOL - Just saw this response from this summer - Yes, you were correct on all of the fish IDs! Nice job!
