@intenseNERD@katbyter What the hell, if 2 of you like it, i'll give it a try. For the price its hard to beat if they hold water, let you drink it as you wish, and don't leak :)
Welp ok then...Here we go again. Again we find ourselves at the corner of impulsivity and temptation as we near that janky ass pawn shop on the wrong end of town. As we turn the corner to that all too common dark alley we hear a maniacal laugh coming from the darkness. "Soon...I shall empty the oceans of their water. No more lakes, no more ponds, no more puddles...I Twofer Tuesday shall be the most powerful overlord in world history!!!!" As you enter the alley you can't help but kick over a few of these Contigo waterbottles. Twofer is standing near the back using an old water spigot to fill up the containers. Sure...shes crazy...but you can't help but feel bad for her. You buy a couple and offer to help her empty the world's water supply..because thats a thing or something.
As long as you can keep the seal from popping out, you're golden. I have bought these for $20 at WalMart. Use them regularly and have had no problems that were product related. Two were left behind, one lost its straw, and one lost its seal. Still usable without the seal, but it will leak. I do yearn for a purple one, but will buy six of whatever color you have at this point. The only thing I do wish is that it were insulated. For $5? I'm in!
The seal on mine finally gave out and it's a necessity in Colorado (I refuse to give in to the Nalgene hype). Long story short, my rigid-seductive-harbor approves.
@TaRDy For the date posted yes, but not for today....they extended this sale to today for the slackers....so comments shall go on. Your username definitely is worthy of the last comment though, very nice touch being last for the day!
WTF, Red Sangria color was depicted as RED, not FUCHSIA! I chose Red so it would be neutral, instead now I have a pink colored water bottle as a male, lol.
Anybody having trouble with these? The rubber seal fell out of the lid, and is impossible to get back in. Also, there's no vacuum relief, so suction is pretty difficult.
OMG, I really regret this purchase! These fucking bottles don’t fit in my cup holder, WTF!!!??? So, that means I have to put them on my seat next to me, but when the liquid heats up (duh! it’s a fucking car) it leaks, even though it is probably a pretty good seal. No more Ice Tea in these, and my seat stains will encourage me to follow that rule ALWAYS! Fuck, I have a tea (shit colored) stain on my car seat. FUCK FUCK FUCK, don’t buy these ever!

More bottles, water you gonna do about it?
@thismyusername H20-snap!
Why ContIGo 1 day without making a horrible pun?
@lichme I miss the memes and gifs you were making to accompany your puns.
@Thumperchick
I fully intended on doing more of them last week, but for some reason, that's when the devil comes out of my otherwise angelic daughter.
You missed a prime opportunity here Meh for a picture of Ice Cube going into the bottle.
@Konraden holding a bottle?
That picture needed shoppin'
@awk Bravo!
No Purple
@rileyper -sigh-
@rileyper melt them down and mix them together. Boom. Purple.
@TBoneZeOriginal BAM! You're a genius!
@TBoneZeOriginal ain't nobody got time for that
I am SO over the whole "cup, mug or bottle" thing.
Now if you can come up with a flying Dyson Bluetooth travel mug with a built-in knife... lemmie know.
@ruouttaurmind only if it has an emergency seat belt cutter and 2 USB charging ports.
@mike808 It'd just end up here because the USB ports were only 1 amp, instead of 2.1 amp making it useless for your tablet.
'Water' deal tonight..well could use for water I guess
@AttyVette Meh. This is a watered down deal.
I want this, been wanting a 32oz bottle. But the reviews basically say it will work well for a few weeks and then will leak. Darn.
@Stallion We've had these bottles for a couple years. Both are still doing just fine. For this price, they're well worth it.
@Stallion I use mine almost daily and it won't leak as long as the seal stays in place. Do not take out the seal. Had mine for years.

Triton, bpa-free, so totally safe.

Bpa-free is our generation's version of low-tar.
Kind of funny that low-tar was ever a selling point. If it's going into your body, wouldn't you want no-tar?
Then again, four out of five doctors used to smoke Winstons.
Four Out of Five Doctors, by the way, was an excellent DC-area band in the '80s.
Who is going to start the "trade me a red one for a blue one" thread?
@Pufferfishy why? Both Blue & Red are available. Order a couple sets.
The seal on mine finally gave out and it's a necessity in Colorado (I refuse to give in to the Nalgene hype). Long story short, my rigid-seductive-harbor approves.
Can you use these without the straw?
How many reviews is that?
@RedOak 1,488 + random 7.
@RedOak also, $22 for two if you choose smoke and lilac. But it is meh, so...
@Thumperchick This week, it's a Powerball of 7.
Still waiting for more knives or $12 radar detectors (it actually works!!) to come back...
@RedOx, my radar never really did. Went off a lot, and never saw any cops nearby. 😕

Funny write up, as usual! I enjoy reading them everyday... and today i finally purchased something :)
The gulp unit of measurement is about as meaningful as the oz, fluid or otherwise. Can we switch to metric now?
In for 3 Red for the wife
crude-clairvoyant-omelette
I might need these, but I don't like feeling like an infant sucking on a teet, whilst drinking from a bottle.
The way these things are sold somebody must be tossin' 'em like dixie cups. How about selling them ten for $2?
Something about having to clean that straw says "No, I don't need these."
$23 for 2, can't pick colors but who cares?

If we're going to make it official, shouldn't a 'Gulp' be closer in volume to a real gulp (by a human, not an elephant.) Say around 4-5 tablespoons?
These are pretty good, and very popular with the students at my school who like to leave them lying around all the time; glad they're dishwasher safe!
Last!
@TaRDy good job! oh... wait...

@Stallion Where Neon Orange work out clothes! They won’t even notice the water bottle.

@lhr that seems out of the ordinary for these. Contact Contigo for their lifetime guarantee.

@dlw65 Buy a can of Spot Shot and see if that will get the stain out.
