Ive been collecting stainless steel thermoses for decades. Only because they're shiny and i like shiny things haha. Seriously though i have no fuckin idea why i collect them. My top kitchen cupboard has heaps of all sizes. Maybe one will get used a few times during winter to take hot water for beverages to the football. That's it though they're the worse collection of useless stuff that i possess haha

My household growing up was drowning in thermoses and water bottles. In large part due to having two kids in competitive high school sports and one in competitive highschool arts and sciences.

It's one thing to have a bunch of kids who need and use water bottles on the regular, but it's entirely another thing when all these institutions simultaneously declared, "Trophies? Ribbons? Placards? Those utter wastes of space? We should be giving these kids useful prizes for winning their events!" Cue racking up four or five cheap, flimsy water bottles and other assorted crap per kid per year...
