Pick-4: Camelbak Kickbak 20oz/30oz Stainless Steel Tumblers
- You get a four pack made up of your choice between 20oz bottles and 30oz bottles.
- Choose the amount of ounces that best suit your unique personality.
- They fit in most cup holders and have splash proof dual flip lids.
- They can keep hot stuff hot for 4 hours, cold stuff cold for 8 hours, and room temperature stuff room temperature… FOREVER.
- People often ask “how do you get these things so cheap?” and often we have a nebulous, disappointing answer like “manufacturing over-production” or “tech obsolescence” but sometimes we have a very clear answer like “they have a kind of weird logo on them for some reason.”
- Model: 1303104060, 1304103085 both of which are sequences that appear in pi. Don’t believe me? Go ahead and read all of pi. You’ll see.
Treat Yourself
In many ways, the conclusion of the “holiday season” is a relief to the cynical person inside all of us. No more Christmas music, no more Christmas parties to attend, no more veneer of cheer on everything. But this veneer is also protective. It keeps us from thinking what we’re actually dealing with: winter, the season of disease.
Maybe you spend a little too much time in the nasty, frozen outdoors and you catch a cold. Or maybe you spend a little bit too much time in the warm, disease-breeding indoors with someone who’s already sick, and you get what they’ve got. Either way, you’re facing down at least a few days of going to bed feeling shitty and waking up feeling even shittier… and not in the usual existential way.
Which is why it’s a good time to purchase this 4-pack of CamelBak stainless steel tumblers. Whether you opt for the 20oz or the 30oz, you’ll have plenty of vessels to take on any illness.
Fill one with ice water to keep on your bedside table, for example; it’ll stay cold for 8 hours, so you don’t have to get up for ice or to refill your glass while you lay in agony, cycling through a number of over-the-counter cold-relief medicine and a few herbal supplements.
Or, turn them into a veritable tea-bar: one full of echinacea tea, one full of chamomile, one full of black tea to keep you vaguely awake while you binge-watch Final Table on Netflix, and another filled with tea of any kind and just a splash of whiskey. The CamelBaks will keep things nice and warm for at least 4 hours (or, in sick person time, a stretch of about 3 failed nap attempts and 2 failed attempts to sit up and do something productive).
Not to mention, with a base that fits into most cupholders and a splash proof dual flip lid, you can chug some fizzy powdered vitamin C liquid at every stoplight, a sad attempt to prolong that strange ibuprofen high–the eye of the storm, if you will, when you feel strangely indestructible–while you rush to the pharmacy to re-up on supplies.
Now, you’re probably thinking? What’s with all this emphasis on colds? There’s a million other uses for stainless steel tumblers. Like, they’re great for keeping your coffee warm on your morning commute, and they make excellent camping cups. So, what’s the deal, then? Did the copywriter come down with something on Christmas morning and now its all he can think about?
The answer is yes, dear reader, and I’d like to go back to “sleep” now, if you don’t mind.
