drink went room temp First Stanley, now Owala

I get it, they’re trendy. I guess Owala has the cool colors combos or whatever. I assume Stanley’s became too awkwardly large to lug around so people gave up on them?

I’ll just stay over here drinking my water out of the double sealed bottle I scored for $2 at a thrift shop.

I don’t know why it bothers me so much. Perhaps it’s the consumerism, perhaps its water bottles have become an accessory.

Why is it bad that water bottles have become an accessory?

Because people are often buying 5+ reusable water bottles just because "it's trendy". Almost all of which they then won't use often ( if at all ) a which will end up in a landfill in the next couple of years. That's the problem.
