This is not a conversation about guns. This is a conversation about items that have withstood abuse that are near unbreakable.

Some items I have heard referenced as AK47 of:

Gerber MP600: It's a multi tool

Old Thinkpad Laptops

Mag lights

Toyota Hilux

In that case, it's probably any gasket that's susceptible to this, coffee is really strong-smelling. My Zojirushi thermos is only used for coffee, for this reason...

It can probably affect all gaskets, but depending on the type of rubber some might be better or worse. I haven't played around enough with testing different ones to know for certain though.

Maybe silicone would be a good material for this?
