Thermoplastics
ABS - ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is commonly used for projects that need to be sturdy and have a good resistance, this can be put into builders hats and children's toys. Also low most plastics it has a low melting point and is light weight, which is why it is suitable for hats and children's toys. It has a good resistance to acids, alkalis, Oils and Greases which would be good for the builders hat.
LDPE - LDPE (Low Density Poly Ethylene) because of its very low density this plastic is very good for wrapping substances like cling film and also plastic bags. It is also very cheap, which is very good for mass producing. Its properties are that it is translucent, very lightweight, waterproof and has a good chemical resistance.
PS - PS (Polystyrene) is one of the most mass produced plastics and several billion kilograms are made per year. the plastic is colourless and is usually used in disposable objects such as drinking cups and cutlery but can be used in other things such as plastic models, CD/DVD cases and smoke detectors in houses.

35p Energy Drink
The '35p energy drink' is sold by many small retailers and catches a purchasers eye, by the bargain price displayed on the item. The 35p Displayed on the product is the only true information on the item.
Somehow the manufacturers have managed to make this product taste like a real energy drink to fool a customer into thinking that this drink must be doing something because it taste like the others. I have been known to go sleep with in ten minutes of finishing one of these 'Energy Drink' which i'm sure is not meant to be an easy task when purchasing an overpriced energy drink like Relentless, Monster or Red Bull although i am sure these drinks have greater effects than this, so you probably get what you payed for.
Although they are not all negatives when purchasing these cans. The aesthetics of this product are simple but enough and does not look that bad and the can itself functions properly. The ergonomics of the can are also simple but it is not uncomfortable to hold one of these cans.
So altogether if you are looking for the taste of a energy drink but don't want any benefits of actually drinking a energy drink then this is exactly what your looking for but otherwise i wouldn't purchase this particular drink.
