Funny enough this seems rather accurate according to this article. Graphic below from the article linked.

oh lol. they got my wife at stanley.

she bought 4 (one for everyone in the family) at $40 a piece. in protest, I bought about 10 used quality water bottles from my gyms lost and found sale for $1 each.

all u could see in our cabinets were water bottles. I think my wife gets that we have enough now so I'm safe from the next version...

Still rocking my canteen

I bought some off brand stainless 32oz insulated bottle 12 years ago for around twenty bucks. I fill it with ice and then fill the voids with water, and there is still ice a day and a half later, even at the height of summer. I've been through several universal lids with different designs for various ways to sip and to carry it. I have dropped it from several feet onto concrete a number of times, resulting in denting you can't even really see. I probably got the one gem out of many duds, or one of a good run in production, but I'll be disappointed when it does inevitably fail and I have to get something else.

I gave away everything but a bowl to hold my water, but I saw a boy drink water from only his hands.

How have become so materialistic?

I purchased an RTC stainless steel insulated tumbler in 2015. It's the only cup I ever use and it's still going strong after daily use and still looks brand new. Was 20 bucks (they were clearly undercutting Yeti at the time). It's been a solid purchase, I think the same cup from them now runs 40 bucks on Amazon.

Then again I'm still using the same plastic ninja turtle bowl I got from a box of Cookie Crisp cereal in 1988... So anything will last a very long time with care.

I'm a poor consumer. I have my first insulated coffee cup from about 25 years ago. I bought a second one for tea about 15 years ago. I have had several water bottles of different sizes all from promos that I have kept and used since I received them - the newest is aluminum and 12 years old. The oldest is 25 or 30 years old. Although my husband may make up for my lack of buying - he is always trying out new hydration systems for hiking & biking.

Got me a nalgene, with the small opening... I'm not one of those water sluts who enjoy the dribble.

No plastic, no aluminum. No glass either just because I'm clumsy. Wide opening only. If I can't fit my hand in to clean it, I don't want it.

I have a 64 oz one, and a 128 oz one. Am aiming for them to be buy-it-for-lifers.

Where my Klean Kanteen folks?

Hello, yes, it's water bottle.

A water bottle designed for people who drink water. You can hydrate fast

😅😅😅. Who's coming up with that shit?

Their FAQs

Does the Owala bottle contain lead?

Like, this is seriously the most frequently asked question?

They don't even have pictures of the opened bottle or how you actually drink from it to show "how to hydrate faster".

The whole thing looks like crazy satire which went to far.

And what a steal. Only 42 € for a fucking water bottle (plus shipping, 'cause why not).

Absolute Barbarian Mode: Diet Coke bottle full of water

Middle class white women are like men who only play AAA shooters or sports games and kids with most things; they see something that's becoming popular and latch onto it like parasites and make it their whole personality.
There are many other groups of people loke this bit I'm too fucking tired ATM and already in bed to list any more, it's all just a never ending thing.

It certainly isn't the most appealing sight when I suck on one of these, but damn they're practical.

Microplastics. Lead. Hydration is a dangerous game.
