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.
You can upgrade for cheap to the last fad beverage container by visiting your nearest thrift store. Currently they will a bunch of Stanley cups for very cheap. Your other option is know someone in sales or just walk through a trade show where they will give you swag (junk land fill) which usually includes yeti cups as of late.
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 hate it when I stumble upon a well-made item that didn't command a luxury price, and I just know that it won't be available anymore when it eventually breaks. Recently had to get a new PC keyboard, my options were paying 200€ or accepting a feature/usability downgrade ...
welp, we made a small batch of high quality items, sold them all to everyone that needed them, and I made a neat profit. They aren't buying more because we made them high quality. We done here. I'm not expanding the consumer base, I'm tired.
Absolute Barbarian Mode: Diet Coke bottle full of water
Barbarians could only hope for all those microplastics. You are one level up, my friend.
I should level up to mason jar and make cops think I'm downing moonshine in broad daylight.
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.
I saw one of those 24 bottles on a window sill in the lecture hall. It's Made from recycled Aluminium from 24 Coken cans i believe.
When i returnwd to the same hall two weeks later it was still there in the exact samespot, so i thought "im having that!" and bright it home.
It's excellent,sealsconfidently,tastes amazing out of the fridge.
10/10 recommend.
Karen is in to something!
Got me a nalgene, with the small opening... I'm not one of those water sluts who enjoy the dribble.
They just keep getting better at holding water.
Followed shortly by the new, and not better, water holding devices.
Yes, it was RTIC, then Stanley, now Owala?? Were the Nalgene ever a thing?
It certainly isn't the most appealing sight when I suck on one of these, but damn they're practical.
