5 years ago I was all about Contigo. I still have it and it's all chipped and beat up but the vacuum seal is intact and It's a good bottle. I had 2 of them but I left one in the little bag thing they have in front of your seat on Expedition Everest in Animal Kingdom. That was years ago and I can still clearly remember how pissed I was when I was like 5 mins off the ride and remembered. I could have gone back and asked a cast member for help finding it but that would have been a big hassle for everyone.
About 2 years ago I got this:

Owala. It's cool cause it has both a straw and mouth to drink from.

The only downside is that the handle thing that locks it and keeps it from spilling is only wide enough to carry with 2 fingers so it gets annoying when carrying it around Disney for hours.
Apparently they knew people didn't like that so they redesigned it and now the handle looks like this:
so it can be gripped with the whole hand which is much more comfortable. I also got the 40 oz version instead of the 30 and they reshaped it so it now fits in my Venue's cup holder. The 30 oz old version was too wide to fit. And now it has a little lever to make and leak proof.
It was like $45 so that's kinda pricey for a water bottle but if this thread is any indication I'll have it for 5+ years at least.
EDIT: Here is my 5 year old Contigo that's a little worse for wear but still holding strong.
So I've been droning on about Amazon water bottles for years. The last one I bought was my second Owala that had a better handle, 10 mor oz capacity than my original Owala and was shaped better to fit in a car cupholder. I still really dig that one but at work and, as I found last week at Disney, it tends to need at least one refill at some point in the day.
Enter no name brand, AKA EvoPhlask:
This thing is 64oz and still vacuum sealed like all the others. This one has the smallest opening at the top of all my others so in theory that measn it will stay cooler, longer. It also came with this coozie thing that is cool but useless for insulation since vacuum sealed bottles don't need them at all according to Gimini. It was $27 so not that bad and the extra 24 oz have proven to be enough to avoid needing a refil thus far. It also has a paracord handle with a compass so when I wind up in the back woods or North Lauderdale or Walt Disney World I will have survival items with me.
Elon Musk's $1 trillion fortune is so vast that Jeff Bezos is now closer in wealth to the average American
SpaceX founder Elon Musk just became the first person in history to surpass a net worth of $1 trillion, putting him in a wealth category of his own.

He should have given his fortune to Keith Richards to give money that long.
Any of you guys get anything during that prime day bullshit?
My robot slave AKA my robot vacuum finally died after running it almost every single day at 10:00 a.m. for two plus years. It was a cheap Chinese knockoff. I think it was like 80 bucks when I bought it so I'm not upset about that.
They had an actual Roomba with lidar and whatever other dumb features for 130 bucks. It is shockingly better than the one I had. So I'm happy.
Turns out Roomba is a little bit more sensitive about naming your robot vacuum "Slave". So I gave it a historical lady's name that it didn't object to. Any guesses?
Its coverage is pretty freaking good. Those missed areas are where it knows the room extends, but I have some sort of furniture blocking it. I keep it out of the spare bedroom because there's no need and I'm probably going to keep it out of the bathroom too. That's the middle left one marked part of room 4 which includes the hallway. In the summer that room gets really hot so I like to keep the door closed all day to not let it increase the overall temperature of the place.

Oh God no. I'm an asshole but I wouldn't name my much better and much more famous robot slave Pam. I gave her an appropriate name that fits her historical level of accomplishments.
I named our first roomba for the Hispanic house cleaner that we stopped using. Mrs Scotch was not amused.
I named our current roomba Shaggy, which is Tali's nickname. And we have a wonderful Brazilian house cleaner now, that I won't name anything after.
