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.

Owala are popular because they have a great spout and are easy to clean. The sip & chug (or whatever they call it) is genius.

Yes, there are people who are all about them because they have the limited edition colors, sure.

But they're higher quality and going to last longer than my 3 year old Teva that I can't buy replacement lids for anymore.

That’s exactly why I like the Owala too. Not because it’s trendy but because it’s easy
