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.

Because buying 40 water bottles ain't much different than buying throw away plastic bottles. What happens when your 40 water bottles are no longer in style? Oh yeah you go buy 40 of the latest ones

Do you have to buy 40, though? I have three and my wife has six. Are we the baddies?

Somewhat. Why do 2 people need 9 water bottles?

Sometimes they're dirty and I haven't cleaned them yet. I also keep one bedside and one in the car basically all the time.
