Reusable water bottle. It’s just something I always have on me and it’s great because I’m not wasting money on plastic with liquid in it.

it's honestly crazy to me that this isn't an item every person owns. the fact that some people call it a 'reusable' bottle, as if that isn't the standard, is shocking.

like imagine historic humans spending time making a clay bottle or leather waterskin only to just throw it away on the ground after using it a single time. "disposable" bottles and other plastics are a crime against humanity and that's not even an exaggeration

To make things even worse is that you can still reuse the disposable ones not as nice as metal ones but are lighter when empty and get the job of holding water until you get thirsty ultimately you can pretty easily tell who is from the country by what they consider a normal water bottle is because one person can easily just go to a store and get a new water bottle much more often than the other guy

yeah maybe true about rural/urban, but any city boy who's ever been camping probably owns a normal reusable bottle

Mine is an extension of my body. I can’t not have it with me going out. But I get thirsty a lot. Took me a while to fine one that works for me size and function wise.

What are you wasting the money on now?

Honestly, the one liter smart bottle is my favorite.

I've found that I do like the metal smart water bottles too bad they're ment to be disposable as I hate how fragile the caps are id love a bottle of that size so it fits in my cars cup holder but also has a cap so I don't have to walk so carefully with it

Thanks for being honest with us.
