Could someone please explain why this style of water bottle is so popular? I see them a lot. I've been told it's cos you get a cup and a bottle. But if you're using the cup, the bottle is then open, to be easier to spill... Or attract wasps... It just feels like poor design. No doubt it's won many design awards. I just don't get it...
@quixoticgeek Convenient aspect ratio, both small & large openings, colourful, good marketing campaign, “feel good” messaging, etc. In my experience they’re robust, and do what they need to do.
The insulated versions insulate quite well, and all are dishwasher safe, which is not a universal given with other bottles (esp. insulated ones).
By now I think we have one of each model except the newest smallest one.
@quixoticgeek Occasionally, when sharing with multiple ppl (= enables simultaneous drinking). The large opening is the convenient one for filling, though.
