    I’ve been on fora and social media for almost 30 years and have managed to avoid ever seeing this video. AMA?

    For girls, you just needed one cup, but for guys, you had to find a farmer so you could see what the goat se.

    Stanley is peepeepoopoo, imo. Know what works? An actually good, functional product.

    If you need a good water bottle, get an owala. I’ve had mine for like 4 years. Has a carry handle, push button opening that is protected by the handle so it won’t randomly pop open, pour OR straw-free sip option, comes in a bunch of sizes, etc.

    I’m not a shill, I swear. I’m just a random doofus who used to have a problem with dehydration. I DO NOT endorse products lightly, but owala is a fucking winner for me.

      Sorry to be negative about your water bottle but I feel like all the recent colorful water bottles are all plastic fashion accessories.

      I feel that bottles with paint and complicated parts won’t last as long as simple unpainted bottles like nalgenes.

      But hey, if you enjoy your water bottle, embrace it. As long as you’re not buying dozens of them, it is a tool and you should have the best tool for your everyday life.

        I watched the entire video. Guy is talking about how water bottles have become nothing more than trendy fashion. Not too much about any design flaws, other than maybe the bottles getting dented.

        That said, I got mine before the trend. As an avid water-drinker who has tried many many bottles prior: it’s legitimately a fantastic water bottle! It’s easy as fuck to clean, multiple drinking options, has NEVER popped open in my bag and soaked all my shit, and a bunch of other shit.

        I like it. Love it, actually. If more people get them, cool. If they don’t, that’s fine. Seems like the dude is more mad at people hopping on collecting trends. I get that. It’s marketing. Sure. However, that said, it’s a fantastically functional water bottle that I have recommended to anybody who expresses interest in a bottle.

          Makes sense, makes sense. Yeah, my only exposure to them is as a trend.

    The next time someone says advertising doesn’t work, I want you to show them this meme.

        It’s a godamn status symbol, and it’s a cup. A cup.

        A 45-60 dollar cup.

          For some reason I assumed it was some game thing and I would have remained ignorant and continued to believe that. Oh well. Their advertising almost didn’t work on me.

            I’m Canadian so I kept thinking it was some hockey joke I’m not into sports enough to understand.

            I think the reason I’m bitching about it is because it’s made it into my home. My SO’s friend got got by the ads, then gifted a similar cup as a gift (essentially got double got)

            But now I gotta look at it multiple times a day

      What does Stanley have to do with cups though? They mostly make screwdrivers and wrenches right?

    Chronic trend/clout chasing reminds me of Victorian era esoteric fashion rules. Everyone wants to be part of [thing]
