Disclaimer: the solder is at the bottom on the outside, in a place that what you're drinking can't reach, so it's just stupid the reaction that people are having

Maybe people should start worrying about the solders on their plumbing first...
Corporate schlong is yummmmmmmmy

Right I read that. It confirms lead is present in the bottom of the container.
At the bottom, on the side that's not in contact with your drink, under a plastic cover...
Man, people are flipping out while they probably drink water from copper pipes with lead solders at home and they never worried about it when these are actually in contact with their water!
Yes you're intentionally ignoring the fact that washing the fucking thing causes lead exposure to anyone unaware of this issue. Copper pipes from 40 years ago aren't really relevant to the Convo. Not sure why you're simping so hard.
Except it doesn't.
While I agree there was probably a better way to accomplish their goal, most of the replies here are just under informed fear mongering.
No. Using lead in anything that ever could be in contact with food or drink is irresponsible and moronic. Nothing about that is untrue or an exaggeration
I won't debate that, it's something I saw on Internet Today. Hell due to my lifestyle I've never actually seen the cup in real life.
Until the plastic falls off and you handle it, wash it, etc.
As for pipes whataboutism, how about we stop introducing new products with lead?
If the bottom falls off I hope you're intelligent enough to realise that your cup is broken
At this point you should read your own link. From the description of how it works, it doesn't sound like a critical part at all. It's part of the plastic flair on the outside. The cup is still perfectly functional and insulating.
I guarantee you've used many things after a piece of nonfunctional plastic broke off.
Man, you just reminded me about how much I used to love stealing pieces of solder off the spool in my dad's office. I loved how I could bend and tear metal with my bare hands like Superman. I loved forming it into a spiral and pretending it was a coin. Then I'd bite and bend it like Underdog. Sometimes I'd just chew on it cuz it was kinda sweet.
One day, my dad got a new kind of solder that didn't taste as good.
Anyway, it turns out I'm a moron...
