People paying way too much money for absurdly large cups because "influencers" told them to.

Don't get me wrong. If someone wants one of those things, they can go right ahead. Not my business. But, every day I watch my 15 year old get out of the car and carry one of those things into school with her and all I can think is that it seems like a glass of water that markets inconvenience as a feature.

I've got one, but I've had it for years and years. It was a gift from my kids. I think for Father's Day.

It's awesome. I just use it for water. Load ice and water, carry it through the house. Keep drinking water. If I wake in the night feeling thirsty, there's ice water right there. In the morning when I need to take meds, I've got ice water. Nice secure lid, so if my clumsy self knocks it over, it isn't a disaster.

I've got gout, so one of the easiest things I can do to avoid pain is to drink a metric shit-ton of water every day. I think it ended up being a much better gift than my kids thought it would be.

Of course, like I said, I've had mine long before any influencer was talking about them.

Wife has one of the giant Frank Green waterbottles. Goes through 3 or 4 of them a day at work and bedside.

Beats the hell out if the three giant energy drinks she used to have.

If it's the ones pictures above, they're actually really decent at keeping things cold/hot, not overpriced at all at their performance. This guy I follow does a lot of weird shot for shot tests and tumblers were one of them.

Totally not weird. Just comparison reviews.
