There have been a lot of water bottle trends over the past 20 years. From Kleen Kanteens to the ones with a spray feature attached that nobody seems to remember but me (does anyone remember those from the early 2010s) to hydro flasks, every couple of years, the tides seem to turn, and a new water bottle supreme emerges. Right now, we are living staunchly in the age of the Stanley Cups (no relation to the hockey championship trophy). This is an absolute mammoth of a water bottle. It's one step behind just carrying an empty milk jug full of water around with you, high school football player style.

One woman recently went viral for showing off her collection of Stanley Cups and Starbucks tumblers. It sparked a debate over whether this is the same as collecting action figures or baseball cards or if it's overconsumption and consumerism at its finest.
