      People were drinking water out of those stanley “cups”?

      Also as a German, where are:

      I don’t know, that timeline kind of just seems like what’s on sale at Costco, which does seem to rotate every few years. Could be a chicken or the egg kind of situation or just simply a people-like-costco kind of observation too.

      Oh my god. I’ve seen so many unbranded bottles just like the S’Well one and never knew where they came from. Guess I’m one of today’s lucky 10,000

      I’m still looking for a fully stainless steel one with a stainless lid that has an unscrewable spout on a hinge like a metal flask, but large and water bottle shaped. All of these have plastic somewhere in the chain.

        Yeah, my current favorite bottle is the yeti, but it still has plastic for the lid. If they ever made a stainless lid it’d be pretty close to the perfect bottle. Wide mouth that’s super easy to clean, indestructible, replaceable seals, doesn’t alter the flavor of the water, even after multiple days. Any bottle with a mouth that doesn’t let me get my hand to the bottom, or doesn’t let me see every part of every internal surface isn’t cleanable enough for me.

        unfortunately those are usually the only good ones. i never seen a metal one with a spout. i have one that insulated , ecovessel that is a fully metal cap you can take off and drink from. something similar to the pic below.

      That chart is a bit outdated. That might be the millennial moms that pick up the trend late.

      All the white Gen Z girls at work have HydroJug now. Owala was a a while back. Stanley was more covid era.

      My wife has a fuckin entire cabinet dedicated to her damn cups.

          If I’ve learned anything over the last 8-9 years, it’s that all these bottles are the same damn thing lol. One brand just happens to capitalize on a design trend first and that’s what lands.

        I’m big on the magnetic screw off lid that connects to the side. I love the giant handle on the big lid for carrying and ice keeps way longer, but I’m downing like eight bottles a day so that’s not a big deal.

        Only thing is, they’re stinky when new. Gotta soak the gasket in vinegar and wash it a lot.

      As a youth girls soccer coach, I’m so glad Stanley’s finally stopped being popular. Every girl that brought one to practice would inevitably have it too over and spill. It got to the point where I had to tell parents all water bottles had to have a lid that completely closed.

        I’m a school bus driver. I could have built a house by now entirely made from the water bottles that kids leave behind on my bus. They wouldn’t work for the roof, you say? That’s what the ear bud cases are for.

        Work for a tech company long enough and you’ll have a few of each of these

        I’ve never owned a dedicated water bottle before and decided to get one. At random I picked Owala. I’d never heard of them but liked the way the lid worked. A few weeks later I see Owala everywhere.

        I’m right on the front swell of a trend!

        I have three of the water bottles on the image and I gotta say, I do really like the Owala. I’m personally a fan of straws but I vastly prefer having something that I can close and throw in a bag without it leaking. The Owala fits that. The only problem I’ve had is if I don’t clean it for a while. I only use water, but after a while the water I drink out of it will start to make my mouth feel dry and taste bad, if that makes any sense at all. I’ve found scrubbing the silicone seal on the lid makes a big difference.

        (Also I’m a basic white middle aged bitch so I guess only having three of the bottles in the image is good… right? Bleh.)

          plastic caps or parts are likely to get dirty faster, and you have to clean it out everday, i clean it with dish detergent once in a while as well. i use only hot water to clean.

      Missed Sigg in there in the mid 2000s. But it and the Nalgene were BPA sources I thought. The rest are dumb, any stainless with a good seal works for me.

      I had some acquaintance who was a hydroflask rep or something in 2017. He saw my 5 year old beat to hell hydro flask ran out to his car and brought me two more for being an “og supporter.” I was like I guess this is cool I just hated my water getting warm in plastic ones.

      I ended up getting a Camelbak stainless steel one now. Wide mouth and no flimsy nooks, so it’s super easy to clean compared to most of these. I was surprised they’re still going strong despite all the new(ish) players.
