24oz Color Changing Reusable Glass Water Bottle

Firstly: I love that I drink out of glass from the mouth/opening and not plastic or silicone! Now most importantly: Please read the instructions on how to (easily) open and close the lid, it’s the best lid ever! This is a slim grip-one handed only opening bottle! You just slide the button up and press the lower half of the tab and it opens! Think of it this way, open is to up as close is to down (like opening the window up, shutting the window close, switching lights on and off, etc). Then when you’re ready to close the lid, simply slide the tab back down and close the lid, ALL DONE WITH ONE HAND! You don’t have to close it then lock it so this is brilliant for all of us who quickly close our containers and forget to lock it bc that’s when most accidents happen! I think the poor scores are by people (this was aimed at kids apparently and we all know how impatient and rough kids are with things bc we all were kids once) who messed up the button/tab by forcing it the wrong way. Also, I wouldn’t just toss this around in a bag, I’d still put it in a designated bottle holder/strap it down…I wouldn’t give this item to kids unless they’re mature enough to treat it with care and also it’s a good idea to put it in a padded bottle sleeve as an extra cushion. Just bc a company or a guy off the street tells me “this is totally going to work for a child, even though you know that it’s x, y, z” I’m not going to blindly believe them, so parents..TEST THIS OUT FOR YOURSELF before handing it over to your kids. On to the next claim, the whole shatterproof one, to me (and this is just from reading it at face value) this means more so that when it does get damaged from a fall (it’s glass people) it stays intact more so than other glass products bc of the silicone coating and type of glass. If it tumbles onto a thick carpet or a thin/medium rug with a rug pad underneath, it should hold, if it’s concrete, tile etc, though don’t be surprised when it breaks…Common sense ain’t common, so… Now to the fun stuff: The color change is significant! I used cold water from my fridge and it morphed like a chameleon or octopus with bright fun hues! I know some people are party poppers (jk) claiming it’s a gimmick that’s not functional, but hey, it’s neat to me! Oh, and the softness of the silicone coating makes it a pleasant experience to hold rather than a rough or slick surface like other types of bottle materials (stainless steel with or without textured coatings, ceramics, rubber sleeves, glazes, etc). Additionally, I don’t feel like my grip will ever loosen unless I remove the coating, and I ain’t doing that lol. Lastly, it’s simple and easy to clean. Because it’s intended for cooler liquid temps, I do not put scolding hot water on or in it, I use lukewarm water and hand wash it bc I tend to keep my dishwasher on heavy/high heat, would not want to have the lid warped for instance (which happened to my Ello glass Syndicate lid but that was a good thing bc I dropped it so the heat somehow molded it back so it’s leak proof again, ok but this bottle and top beats Ello’s glass bottles except in the size department, wish Pyrex kept this design and added a few ounces)! Ok, back on track..I air or towel dry and wait till it’s room temp to pour ice cold water or place it in the fridge for a while and then fill it up (if my filter was on the counter I’d pour room temp in it then store it in the fridge). Reminder: if this has been sitting out in the sun, left in a car during a warm day, please do remember it’s GLASS, don’t quickly pour cold water in it, if you’re that thirsty just drink from the source of the water LOL (spout), bc idc if it’s Pyrex, better safe than sorry (and I own a ton of Pyrex glassware storage containers for kitchen usage from storage to cooking and even eating from the dish so I can skip the plate, lol). This was a long winded review, and I LOL’d a lot apparently, I need water now…Cheers!
