Can I put ice cubes in the bottle?

Does the bottle sweat or get condensation on the outside?

Troubleshooting
Bottle is not keeping drinks hot/cold for the advertised duration.
Ensure the lid is fully and tightly sealed. Check for any damage to the lid or bottle that might compromise the seal. Pre-condition the bottle by filling it with hot water for hot drinks or cold water for cold drinks for a few minutes before use.
The flip straw is difficult to open or close.
Ensure the straw mechanism is clean and free of debris. Occasionally, the seal might be very tight; try twisting the lid slightly while opening or closing. If a blockage is suspected, clean the straw thoroughly.
Minor leaks from the lid.
Verify that the silicone seal inside the lid is properly seated and not damaged. Ensure the lid is screwed on straight and tightly. Check the threads on both the bottle and lid for any debris.
Metallic taste from the water.
While made from 18/10 stainless steel to prevent this, initial use or if residue has built up might cause a taste. Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Using a baking soda and water paste can help neutralize odors and tastes.
