Dry ice and carbonated drinks: contents may spill out or the pressure may cause the stopper set to burst, causing

Liquids containing salt such as soup: although the liner is made of 18/8 stainless steel and is nonstick coated, salt

The rattling noise that may be heard when the product is shaken comes from the copper or aluminum foil in the vacuum
