I always clean mine after use. It lives in a plastic case with my metal cutlery. I have a great weakness for frozen beverages like slushies, frozen soft drinks, frappes, smoothies etc and will often indulge when I'm out and about, and that's when I'll use my metal straw as it's very difficult to drink a frozen beverage without one. I never use a straw for normal beverages, water, soft drink, juice etc. Jamming a straw into a water bottle really feels unnecessary to me.
The audience for this guy must be thinking what we're thinking... what a fucking lunatic.
he's doing the tiktok female performance of responding to criticism with a passive aggressive little dance and repeating his behavior even harder
Why is it so hard for some people to just drink water? Does everything need to be neon colored and tasting like a spoonful of sugar for people just to not feel thirsty? I know he's probably playing it up for the video but who actually wants their water to taste like candy?! It's such a massive overindulgence.
When I was a kid, our parents used to lose their shit if we asked for a new bottle of cordial before we finished the old one.
Have a plastic 1000ml Nagene bottle. Personally love it, great for work and very light. That said I'm not against metal bottles, even a Stanley, I just think basing your life around it is stupidI remember this trend started as a way to feel good about yourself for buying a bottle that was not made of plastic
. Kleen Kanteen is or was the biggest brand.
Some people use metal bottles because they're worried about microplastics and xenoestrogens or whatever leaching from plastic water bottles into the water. Which is futile because that shit's already in the water supply and can't be effectively filtered out.
I think those are the two biggest factors that drive the metal bottle trend. That being said I have one and don't hate it. I only really bother to use it for camping/hiking tho
Those little drink mixes are so fucking gross. I really enjoy how every video starts with him dumping out a plastic bottle of water before opening his plastic drink mix and finally using a straw to suck down his disgusting sugar water concoction.
thats like the final nail in the coffin, him signaling to us that, if we were ever under the impression that he's using these metal bottles for any worthwhile reason- rest assured, viewer, no he is not, as he takes a moment to prove to you that he has no concern for any rational reason one might desire a Stanley cup. it really is just about the trend.
I don’t like it because I usually drink without a straw and the metal can taste sour sometimes.
glass is the best material to be drinking out of
To be completely honest I’ve never considered a glass straw.
Innovative, alternative materials like Lead...2!
Good lord she's hideous. What costume designer/director set it up like this? Is it supposed to be relatable? Desirable?
You just answered your own question.
That's the part I don't get. I know I keep bringing up LA tap water, but if the powders were supposed to cover up the taste of shitty tap water, but they use bottled water, then it completely undermines that reason.
Damage like scraping the inside wall with a metal straw?
>Lead poisoning symptoms in children
Boring! They ought to get really innovative, like cadmium and hexavalent chromium.
Might I suggest mercury, given its talent for forming amalgams?
this is like 9/11 for fat nurses
