    Thermos culture is weird/cringe. Everyone circle jerking their $100 water bottle, trying to outdue each other.

    We get it you drink water.

      I don’t get it. Why is it weird?

      I purchased a sigg stainless steel for less than 20$. If has served me for 4 years, full of dents on the bottom, and still going strong.

        The weird obsession with Stanley cups and people buying 1 for each outfit they have. Like people having fucking 30 of the damn things. Or the literal riots and mobs for the pink Starbucks Stanley cups. Capitalism makes us all stupid.

          So? I have multiple for sizes depending on if I’m drinking coffee or water or if I’m on the go or if I can’t find filtered or if I need back up water on a long trip. So that’s all it takes to make a person mad? Then I think outrage over something dumb makes people stupid.

          I’m with you, I don’t get the draw - I’m not a fan of the clutter it would cause but whatever floats their boat, it’s not sinking mine :P.

          I feel like it’s the same as collecting shoes or purses - fashion/collecting just of something else. The abe meme is spot on.

        Mine’s < $10 and going on for that last 10 years. These things are well made and worth keeping at least one. Multiple dents seem to have made it a little less efficient though (Vacuum insulated).
