IKEA has a nice 4 euro glass bottle that is a classier version of Grolsch Beer bottle. It is sealable and works like a charm.

This may have had something to do with it.

Nalgene bottles are advertised as BPA-free.

Nalgene only started to transition to BPA free plastic in 2008. They sold so many in the 90s and 2000s. Any “old” Nalgene should just be disposed.

But what if I want to become a walking Superfund site?

Thermos culture is weird/cringe. Everyone circle jerking their $100 water bottle, trying to outdue each other.

We get it you drink water.

It’s pretty funny that kids are saying “sus” again though. Have those Coca-Cola “spinner” yo-yos come back round again yet?

They’re popular because some lady’s car caught fire and her Stanley cup survived virtually unscathed and it still had ice in it while the car was completely destroyed.

Then the company saw that her video was viral and bought her a new car.

I feel like that warrants their popularity right now.

I personally prefer Hydroflask because it’s easier to carry around and I don’t care for a straw or side handle. But I see no reason to hate on these.

The funny thing about that is that it could've been any properly made thermal cup in that place and results would be pretty similar. So it was pure luck that Stanley not some other brand got such big ad

They're not even good cups...

They're fine. Stanley has made perfectly decent, tough thermos products for a century. The green coffee thermos has been a staple for decades.

My biggest fear of this craze is that it'll kill the company when the fad ends and their stock drops and they get bought out by Chinese conglomerate number 8762.

It's already owned by HAVI, a privately owned Indian conglomerate.

I don't know why anyone thinka these old American brands are still independent, or even American.
