Really? What else do older teens use then? I think older teens do use hydroflasks too? Even many adults?


Yes, they do. Weird post by PP designed to take a dig at the daughter.


Why should we spare the feelings of a thief? Most kids would have left it there in case someone went back to find it. Or turned it into a lost and found. We have lost several water bottles and recovered some from lost and founds that were ours (stickers ir our name on it so we know it’s ours). Never would we just take one that wasn’t ours to stick it to the greedy rich.


The lost and found... on the street? I don't know where you live, PP, but there aren't lost and found boxes on the corner in my neighborhood. If it had been lost at school, sure. But an unlabeled water bottle in the street is the quintessential "finders keepers, losers weepers" dynamic. There's nowhere to return it to!

If you can't afford to lose it, take better care of it. Label it with your phone number if you expect to leave it behind and get it back.

Good on the kid for washing and using what someone left behind instead of calling it trash.


Oh sure. On the street. I mean if you believe that story in the first place.


So it sounds like you're okay if it was found on the street. No reason to not believe the kid. At least you finally came around.


If it was on the street likely someone else could have used it more. But no. I don't believe it was on the street why would I? And who lets their kids pick up trash in the street and drink from it? You are nasty.


So your advice is that OP tell her kid that she's a liar and rip the bottle away from her. You sound delightful.


I'll take that over letting my daughter pick up street trash and put her mouth on it. God knows where it's been.


She thoroughly washed it. Just the way glasses, forks, spoons are washed in restaurants. It's amazing how soap has worked for millennia.


Do you often eat off forks and plates found in the street after a quick wash? At least the OP can shell out and buy the kid a clean straw.


Per OP, it wasn't a quick wash.


Nothing is going to take the bite marks out of a used straw. If you and your kid regularly dumpster dive this may seem normal to you.


Okay? Did you win a point?

It's weird you're still defending this like it's a normal rational thing to do.

Eh, deep down she will always know she’s drinking out of someone else’s cup. Gross.


You know like we do at restaurants literally all the time?


I also wouldn’t mind after a good wash. Exactly true that plastic cups and utensils are also reused in restaurants all the time! I might change the straw though if it had bite marks.

Why do people chew on their water bottle straws is beyond me though. Especially if it’s an expensive hydroflask and clearly not used by a toddler. Seems like they don’t care for their things! My coworker does it too. Puzzles me!!



I agree! People who bite their bottles and leave teeth marks on the straw don’t really care for stuff they own. Or the other poster whose kids leave them in a planter so that they don’t have to carry it. So they probably also won’t miss it either if it’s lost.

It's completely normal. But make your case to the OP by calling her daughter a thief and a liar.

I’m a teacher and left my Owala bottle on the table in the cafeteria by accident at dismissal time. Went back ten minutes later and everyone said they saw it but it was gone.


I think leaving it on the table at a school is a different thing. 10 mins too. That’s not right. But in the planter, I think cleaning crews will remove it. They can’t make many rounds and want to keep things tidy

Of course. Chewing is a form of stress relief. The inability to effectively chew is also associated with cognitive decline. I think this, in part, explains the poster strangely obsessed with the chewed straw.

The cleaning crews are dropping that straight into their waste bin.

My own chewed straw is not equal to a straw found on the street that I would never put in my mouth. What other filth do you put in your mouth? Do you have any standards?

That said, I would insist on buying a replacement straw. You can get them on Amazon with Prime shipping.

Pp. my point is that if you chew your water bottle. Especially an expensive hydroflask, you probably don’t care for it too much and have a carefree attitude. It's different from gum where it is meant to be chewed.

I too don’t get why would people chew on their water bottle spout or straw if they are not kids. It will look so unsightly. I might chew on a straw for my bottle at McDonald’s but not my hydroflask straw. But it speaks of an attitude that they don’t really care for their own things. So they likely won’t come back for their lost bottles either.

No one was coming back for it. But yes, that is gross. The dishwasher doesn’t do a great job at sanitizing, unless you have it in sanitize cycle, which you likely don’t. But oh well, too late now. Get a new straw and tell her not to make a habit of picking up things that don’t belong to her.

My only question is would she have kept it if it wasn’t a HF?

my DD had a large 40oz HF she used for her outdoor sport but sfterwardd she wanted a smaller one in a new color to fit in the bottle holder on her backpack. I was able to buy a new top and matching silicon “boot” for it from Amazon and started using it myself

I probably spent $15 on a new lid and boot. But I did this, not because it was a Hydro flask, but because I didn’t want to throw away a dented, but otherwise useful water bottle. (I prob would have spent that on a generic non insulated one anyway)

I’ll add that, I do think my daughter requested aHF because of the namebrand. But I’m OK with that. It helps her drink only water during the day, and it’s a relatively small price for her to feel cool and like she “belongs”,
