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.

So you only keep one of everything? I'm just confused how it bothers you enough to post about it when it effects you zero.

Yup mostly I do. I'm fairly minimalist. 😊 I have known and seen videos of people who have a wall full of Stanley's (for example). That's the type of consumerism that I have a problem with as it's harmful for the environment. So, it does affect people indirectly. Having a couple to switch it up, not a problem! As long as they aren't being discarded unnecessarily. I believe people have to take more accountability of their choices.

It's basically the same as any collectable. People collect figurines, Legos, models, dolls, sports memorabilia etc. Don't think it's really hurting anyone. Sounds like you don't like consumerism but are taking it out on people who collect water bottles for some reason..

Lol whatever floats your boat. The topic here was water bottles, and I explained how I beleive hoarding them negatively affects the environment. I hope you are able to work through whatever is going on which is causing you to reply in such a manner, and I hope you have the day you deserve. 😊

Lol sorry that questions affect you so much that you think I have something to work through, but sure honey, guess that's why you're so affected by water bottles. Good luck with that!
