    My wife had one (Yeti), and it worked quite well so I bought one and carry it around quite often. I also happen to watch ‘Project Farm’ on YT and he JUST did a thing on tumblers. Yeti was actually kind of middle of the road compared to the others he tested.

    Funny enough, my wife walked in while I was watching it and this is when I found out there was a big Stanley craze happening right now making them hard to get. I do not watch tik tok and I guess that’s where it started. At any rate the Stanley ranks pretty high on actual function against the others he tested.

      None of them are really bad products, it’s just the silly people who make a fad out of buying shit they don’t need. I picked up a Yeti years ago for like $40 and when I talked about it people thought I was crazy for spending money like that on a drinking receptacle. Because of it I now drink almost exclusively water because I have ice cold water by me all the time and it doesn’t sweat all over my desk. It’s saved me so much money and time over the years I wish I got something like it earlier.

      The primary reason I got a Yeti over other brands is the wide mouth that makes it much easier to clean.

        For real, easy cleaning is so under rated. When I see bottles with super complicated lids and small openings, I think, “that’s almost literally only for water or I’m going to struggle keeping it clean”

          I rarely ever drink anything but water out of mine but after enough time it still builds up residue from the water and needs a good cleaning. I can only imagine the effort it would take to clean something with a narrow spout.
