    That's pretty impressive. It usually takes about a month for stuff to get to me from HK. Of course those lids are pretty light so they probably didn't put them on a boat.

    I just received a sharpening stone from Japan that took 2 months. :(

    Thanks @fishlessman for the PSA.

    While some comments have dised the idea of cleaning the lid here is my assessment - take it for what ever you want.

    Last Fall I had some serious dental work done of having three teeth removed and bone build up in anticipation of 2 dental implants screwed into my jaw for a 3 tooth bridge this Spring. 

    Well - soon thereafter I ended up in the hospital for 8 days due to an infection incurred in those raw gums. While the infection specialist doctors tried to figure out the source of the germs I finally offered up the "maybe" idea of contamination from a YETI drink gasket. That source was never ruled out though they never nailed the source positively either.

    Just the same that hostipal stay plus the daily injections for 11 weeks thereafter all costing $112k will always make me suspect those dirty YETI gaskets!

    Why dis something gross with mold hidden underneath that you put to your lips if you have an open sore in your mouth for the sake of cheap replacements? 
    A human mouth is full of germs. There are more germ cells in a healthy human body than there are human cells.

    There could have been some "bad hombres" in the gunk of the lid/gasket. Probably nothing that you aren't already being exposed to daily tho.

    I used to work in the water/sewer biz. How often do you remove and bleach the sink aerators on all the faucets in your house? If you are like most people the answer is probably never. Those things gather/raise the same kind of germs you likely had in the gunk around your gasket.

    Don't have any screens on our faucets anymore.  They also come in handy in a pinch when you're trying to make a ............. oh nevermind.
