    Are all lids the same, or do some have advantages such as increased UV protection?

    That's a really dumb and basic question, like 4th grade, all darker colors take in more heat than lighter e.g. black, brown compared to white. So it will most likely be hotter due to the heat intake. Increased UV protection is highly unlikely.

    Read Henry's other posts. He doesn't deserve to be treated nicely.

    i hope people would have that attitude towards G.Bush...but i won't go into politics since this is a technology forum and G.W.Bush is the farthest thing from modern technology that you could even find.
