My water bottle will outlast me

Me and water bottles - we have quite the love hate relationship.  I mean, I love them because they hold water and I drink a shit ton (great phrase) of water each day and then I hate them because damned if they don't break and stuff.

And if you're asking yourself - how do water bottles break? Good g.d. question.  Don't let the water bottle companies fool you.  Those little fuckers break.. they break real good.  And I should know.  I've broken at least four in two years.  And no, I'm not throwing them against anything, nor am I slamming them over the heads of others (what? that's not what you assumed? oh.).  I drop them.  A lot.  And usually when they are rather full, making them more susceptible to breaking. They really should put a label on them.  "Try not to drop when full, this will probably break."  I mean sure it's slightly wishy washy, but for those of us who are less graceful than others it delivers quite the punch.

But times have changed people.  My world has been saved.  Saved by the overpriced piece of plastic I currently carry around like a new handbag. Okay - I technically/usually spend WAY more on handbags, but in terms of costly water bottles this thang is practically a Michael Kors (see what I did there - you thought I'd say Gucci or Louis Vuitton didn't ya but come on now... it's a water bottle, I'm not an idiot y'all).  I knew it was meant to be when I dropped it within 1 minute of owning it and it just bounced off the floor and plopped back into my hands like a baby when dropped to the ground.  Or so I'm told.  It's been almost three months and I've dropped it like 3 times already both empty and with water and it's still good to go.  Now let's just hope this blog post doesn't ruin it all.

And if you're wondering the brand, I'm not tellin'.  If it lasts a whole year, then maybe.

And for another day, I'll share why I went with the screw top and not the straw variety.  Don't want to go too crazy with my post. If I tell you everything in the first one, you have no reason to come back.
