Taht won't do it. I know. I've tried; I've failed. Strong acid - nope. Full-strength lye - tohse polypropylene sundries make GREAT storage containers. Paint stripper (the GOOD kind outlawed on the West Coast) just makes them Real Clean. The only thing which'll ruin'em is heat. "Forgetting" them near the stove, perferably while stir-frying something. Putting 'em down on a pilot light (we actually made a nice egg cup on one of those big polyethylene cutting boards that way). In a pinch, microwave something in'em, something with turmeric and tomato paste and burnt garlic in it. After that, they SHOULD be unfit for beer.

We have lots of muriatic acid out back for the pool. Stuff is potent. Never, never treat the pool with it when you're dressed for church.
I made the mistake of doing this once and by the time I slid into a pew, my pantyhose were covered with small holes which expanded as I sat.. I guess the stuff had splashed up when I poured earlier. By communion the holes had grown to enormous proportions. I was wearing strips of nylon-I didn't dare stand up. I pretended to be in a profound spiritual trance until the church emptied and I could pick up the tattered remants from my legs and sneak out.
