Water bottles are one of the most disposed of items (it’s truly shocking that selling water which should be free is a ~300 billion dollar industry), and experience a lot of drops and abuse in the form of getting tossed in the dishwasher. So I think what we mostly see when people present, or ask for their water bottles is basically real world experience with “Hey! This is my thing, this is the longest I’ve had one of these thing. It’s doing pretty good I think!” or “Hey, I broke my thing. Do y’all have suggestions for thing that has lasted a long time”</p>
<p dir="auto">I’d say 20 year old stanley mug is a GREAT endorsement for stanley mug.</p>

How often are people having them break?</p>
<p dir="auto">With the exception of disposables or the cheap freebies that you sometimes get at events, I’ve never had a bottle or a mug break.</p>
<p dir="auto">My travel mug is a Stanley that’s ~20 years old, and it has one hand opening. It still pretty much looks the same as the day I bought it.</p>

Because that can happen to things like this when they are subjected to things like the heated drying cycle. That goes for any brand, not just this one.</p>
<p dir="auto">Honestly the heated drying cycle is just about the worst thing for most dishes that aren’t ceramic.</p>

It’s overrepresented in non-BIFL spaces but also underrepresented in BIFL spaces. Like it’s not my preference, but you can’t argue with that they genuinely seem to last good. Like a hydroflask or klean kanteen travel mug is probably more durable, especially if you put a bottle boot on them, but if you want a travel mug you can open and close one handed… Contigo is kinda it</p>

<p dir="auto">True, no leakage. Mine, I got it at least 6 years bacl, never put in a dishwasher and it’s as good as new. But whenever I used it for a hot beverage, everything turns bad in it so much faster than anywhere else. Initially I thought I was not cleaning it well enough. I cut a sponge to reach everywhere and I was doing it daily, with the thingy lifted like in the last picture. I concluded it’s not that. It’s like the perfect conditions are created for new life to appear in it.</p>
<p dir="auto">I still use it all the time, but only for water. Which also turns bad, but at least it can hold for a day or something, depending if it is room temp or cold.</p>
