If I use these primarily for lemonade, will they get the coating/frosting effect that other glasses have had?

Never had a coating/frosting problem with Tervis tumblers. Do get it with some of my cheaper wine and tumbler glasses as well as Kosta Boda crystal plates. Can't figure this damage out. Neither can the DW detergent manufacturers either.

It could be that the acid in the lemons is etching your cups. I have some smudges on some of my tervis cups, but they still work great.

No, as the Tervis tumblers are two glasses together to form one glass. Because the tumber is insulated there is no frosting or sweating. Also, the glass does not get cold to the touch. They are the best for drinking cold beverages and we have several different sizes and use them daily.

I've used hot and cold water, filtered and unfiltered, with about the same results. You do get a slight expansion bump on the inside of the glass, but not really a problem. I'll probably make some plaster of paris inserts later to see if this improves. I find that when I freeze them in my deep freeze @ 0 degrees, the shot glasses last longer, and I always chill the liquor I use in the freezer, as well.

Not at all. It's just reflecting light for you. It will not need to be glassy smooth. Think of it like aluminum foil. It's going to reflect the same light with the same effect whether it's smooth or wrinkled.

I didn't notice anything other a "frostiness" on the outside of the glass. Hope this helps.

Well I'd imagine as well as any goggles. They really don't fog up so you probably won't have frost on the inside if that's what ur worried about. Beyond that they're just comfortable lab goggles also good for yard work and these particular ones fit over glasses well.

The ones I purchased as sort of "frosted" and not clear. They are not opaque but instead lightly frosted.

I have to say that I haven't put them in the dishwasher, either. I don't want to tempt fate. We have a Bosch dishwasher which gets very hot and you put plastic in at your own risk. So, I'm probably never going to experiment with these glasses.

They are made of soapstone, and do not scratch glass at all. I like mine, but many complain that they do not cool the liquor enough -- they are not a substitute for ice cubes, but rather a way to cool and maintain the temperature of the whiskey by 5 degrees or so. If your fiance likes bourbon or scotch neat, this is a great gift.

I'm not sure you are serious, or if you are just having fun with this, but in any case, I am not a scientist, or a chemist, perhaps you should be asking your medical doctor or pharmacist about this. I can tell you I've been using these glasses for many years and still alive, so hey haven't poisoned me yet....this is about the best response I can give you. Perhaps you should be thinking of another type of drinking vessel.

Although not as vibrant, yes. I have used them on glass projects (vases and candy dishes) and was pleased with the results.

I don't think you can use it on glass at all. It dries milkey so it would look like frosted glass if you did. Supposedly they are working on a version that dries clear.

It does matter. It has to do with the shape of the glass. I don't know exactly how it works but I do know from drinking plenty over the years not believing thinking it was a ploy to get you to buy more I am now a believer. I also only buy riedel, they are my favorite choice of glassware.

Most eyeglasses have a "coating" and I would NOT use this on them. I just had to replace my reading glasses because the coating had worn thru.

Maybe it depends on which glasses you bought. I have tumblers which don't seem thinner than the ones I bought about 10 years ago.

Actually I think it depends on what kind of glasses you wear. I have Silhouette glasses and the arms are very thin. So they aren't a problem for myself, but other glasses might be if the arms are thick.

Extremely strong glass. Very thick. I would think if you left room for some expansion of frozen liquid, they should be fine. I have not tried freezing anything in them. This is only my opinion based on how sturdy they are.

These are perfect for whiskey/Scotch/bourbon glasses and work in highball glasses as well. But they have never interfered with sipping. They have a slower melt rate and unless you want your drink diluted, that is useful. Sometimes I even use them on iced tea. The first time I tried using a ball of ice was in Japan at a whiskey bar, they get large cubes of ice, and one of the guys used and ice pick to shape it into a cube, in his hands. Crazy. This is a much safer option.
