    😅😅😅. Wtf is even this Owala Shit.

    Like

    Hello, yes, it’s water bottle.

    A water bottle designed for people who drink water. You can hydrate fast

    😅😅😅. Who’s coming up with that shit?

    Their FAQs

    Does the Owala bottle contain lead?

    Like, this is seriously the most frequently asked question?

    They don’t even have pictures of the opened bottle or how you actually drink from it to show “how to hydrate faster”.

    The whole thing looks like crazy satire which went to far.

    And what a steal. Only 42 € for a fucking water bottle (plus shipping, 'cause why not).

      Not familiar with Osaka either, but that question about lead makes sense - as that was the cause for the downfall of the previous fad-bottle brand Stanley.

          They use it as a seal plug on the exterior base for the vacuum chamber which is then sealed.

          Not ideal but not as bad as it sounds. But still a silly thing to do, especially considering the target audience.

            They weren’t exactly the target audience. It was more like when teenage boys started liking My Little Pony. A complete surprise, but they took advantage of it as well as they could.

      Owala is the best bottle. 36 hours of freezing cold water that doesn’t leak at all. That sounds harder to come by than you’d think.

        Hard agree here. Owala is also designed way better. It’s not a flip straw or a regular screw top. The sip/chug mouth design makes it easy to drink from the straw because the wide open air exchange, and the shape of the chug opening is easy to drink without spilling. The top is secure that I never have to worry about spillage. I also don’t have to worry about getting the mouth piece dirty because it’s constantly exposed like hydro flask. Saying Owala is another water bottle is simply not fair.
