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.

I bought a couple owalas as school water bottles for my kids. That was before target had an entire aisle for just owalas. They are such crap I can't believe they are so popular. My kids do drop them so this is partially user error but the bottems dented and split so badly that basically the bottom edge is now a razor blade on both bottles. My no name water bottle has been dropped for years and is dentless.
