| Neither. Nalgene or Hydroflask. |
+1 Ridiculous but what my HS-aged niece wanted for Xmas! |
| These are mom cups now. |
Was all over my feed too in 2016 & 2017!
|
Agree, all the 40 and 50 year old moms at the school where I teach have them. |
Everyone has them now. Teens (my 18 and 20 year old included), 20 somethings at the gym, 40 and 50 year old moms. Hell we just got one for my 80 year old MIL. You want the 40 oz one. That's the in thing. With EVERYONE. |
| Its all so stupid. Costco sells insulated metal water bottles that work just as well and they are like 2 for $20. A fool and his money and all that... |
| The quencher is the cup all the kids want. |
What is up with all the shifting trends of water bottles. Hydroflask. Swell. Stanley. We have basically used Nalgene for 30 years, because they don’t leak. Now some people are obsessed with keeping water cool, so insulated is a need. But $1500 in water bottles?? To be Stanley is especially ridiculous, as it was the brand of my factory worker dad (though so was Carhartt, right?) https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/shopping/2024/01/13/stanley-cup-obsession-explained/72176008007/ |
Serious question: with the giant side handle, how does fit in any bags? Specifically the back pack side pockets? Are these kids just hand carrying these around al day? Sounds asking for it to get put down and forgotten |
I have the OG Stanley admiral coffee mug. It’s awesome and super old. Never ever will I buy the water bottle |

The one your kid wants. If you’re going to do it, get the exact one they want (within reason)
30 oz has been enough for my kid. 40 oz is for adults with fully grown bladders. |
Yes. My younger kid has the 30 oz and its a nice size. But definitely get the Quencher as noted above, not the one with the flip straw. |
It doesn’t fit, and within a few weeks I’m sure a lot of schools will have banned them because since they don’t fit in bags and are forgetten, and can spill if tipped over. |
It isn’t about buying the cheapest thing you can find. There is nothing wrong with buying your kid something her friends have. This is a normal part of teen development. |
