None of them are really bad products, it's just the silly people who make a fad out of buying shit they don't need. I picked up a Yeti years ago for like $40 and when I talked about it people thought I was crazy for spending money like that on a drinking receptacle. Because of it I now drink almost exclusively water because I have ice cold water by me all the time and it doesn't sweat all over my desk. It's saved me so much money and time over the years I wish I got something like it earlier.

The primary reason I got a Yeti over other brands is the wide mouth that makes it much easier to clean.

For real, easy cleaning is so under rated. When I see bottles with super complicated lids and small openings, I think, "that's almost literally only for water or I'm going to struggle keeping it clean"

I rarely ever drink anything but water out of mine but after enough time it still builds up residue from the water and needs a good cleaning. I can only imagine the effort it would take to clean something with a narrow spout.
