A warning for parents about those metal water bottles popular with kids -- and this one is surprising.

A lot of us buy metal water bottles for our kids. But we found these metal bottles are causing a new problem: kids getting their tongues stuck inside.

It may sound like a joke, but doctors say it's serious -- so serious, one company has stopped selling many of them.

Also shouldn't water taste funny if stored in metal bottles for a long time etc?

Something is not right with these metal bottles.

Taken from this article- Alert! The Freak Water Bottle Risk Parents Should Know About @ iVillage www.ivstatic.com/files/et/imagecache/636/files/blog_articles/water_bottle_2.jpg

"Doctors believe that when some children stick their tongues in to take a drink, it creates a strong suction -- and metal bottle won't flex, causing the tongue to swell up inside," according to the news show. "They think that the narrow neck and strong brass ridges on the bottle act like a noose, trapping the tongue."
