Some people on this thread are dismissive, but most of us like the trend. It’s cute!

Agreed. Sure beats the grunge fashion with purple tussled hair and nose rings!

No Hydroflask, either. Over my dead body.

This is a very strange line in the sand. “No water bottles for my kid!”[b]

One of these https://www.hydroflask.com/bottles
and it makes carrying water too convenient, I mean, who knows where it could go from there …

Clear gateway to drinking alcohol.

Because they are $35 for a water bottle.

My DD has used a hydroflask for two years. It's beaten all to heck but she still likes it which is fine because we like not buying and using plastic water bottles. So it may be a few dollars more upfront, but we're saving money in the long run.

It's also nice and big and keeps water cold. I like it because DD actually keeps track of it. She's lost a ton of $10-15 ones, but has managed to keep track of the Hydroflask. That's an overall cost savings for me.

It’s more like “No stupidly expensive brand-name water bottles for my kid!”

The insulated metal ones from Target work just as well.

Oops. Minus the nose ring, you just described my kid exactly. Oh, well. Hope she survives the disapproval of DCUM.

True fact, every alcoholic drank water as a child.

So my first grader today mentioned a meme that the older kids at aftercare were laughing about. Something about a hydro flask and girls who say tsk tsk. If 6 year olds know this "trend," it has truly jumped the shark. Thanks to DCUM for making me seem with it with my 5th grader, who was so surprised that I understood the whole thing (he's a boy).
