I use an old choyo wine bottle as a water bottle. It has straight sides and a wide mouth. And the lid is a screw on with a lidded spout. And it comes in 2 sizes a normal tall 375ml size i use for water, and a half size i use for sweet tea. 10/10 recommend
Thanks for sharing but you should drink half your body’s weight in ounces. So if you’re 150 pounds you need 75 ounces of water per day. And so on
Great video 👍
I do have a comment tho
You did mention that bottles of a specific weight were likely to break.
Most of the time you're gonna have fluid in that bottle bottle increasing the weight of all bottles therefore can you please retest with water.?
Thanks Ladies 😊
The bottle called chic looks to me like a hair conditioner bottle without a label.
I have a great water bottle but it is metal. I wouldn't trade it for anything almost! 🙂
I'd say a good test for a glass bottle isn't a drop, but a tip over. You're more likely to accidentally knock it over than drop it and some will just explode when they tip over and the top breaks. Depending on shape, some can survive a tip over no problem and some just catastrophically shatter.
I love these videos and all of the great tests and they always think of something I wouldn't even consider when shopping for stuff…
I freeze plastic water bottles that are 1/2 full. Then top them off with cold water when ready to drink…keeps water ice cold. Is it safe to freeze glass water bottles the same way?
I like the the purple one
When she said which bottle reigns Supreme I thought Zoku for sure. After all supreme sent me here
I didn't know Americans struggled putting caps on bottles. Learn something new everyday.
The bottle had moles and made me sick
Niceee🇨🇦❣️🇨🇦
I like LifeFactory but my first one did break after falling from the counter onto linoleum flooring. I had wanted to at least save the silicone case because it was so cute (frost to teal ombre coolness, got it on sale) but the glass had made to much of a mess to salvage it. I have 2 of their bottles left and I'm very careful with them. I wouldn't buy them in the future because the price + shipping is not worth the risk.
And what if they not see a break or a crack in the glass but it has one. Just how long until a person might swallow one? I would rather have a metal bottle than a glass one.
They are surprised that a wider opening would be "easier" to fill compared to the one with the small opening? There are different sizes of bottle brushes. Not even need to see 1/2 of this to know which one they will recommend.
I don’t get this test. I had a glass bottle incased in silicone from those TJ Max stores and it shattered when it fell of my desk once, but then bought the Contigo bottle you have here in light blue and when it fell off the top bunk a few times, it stayed whole. I can still use it today!
I'm surprised you included the bkr bottle! I'm a huge fan. I love drinking out of them and the carrying loop is the selling point for me. I clean them in the dishwasher and haven't had any issues. filling needs a learning curve, but they are just perfect for that I want from a bottle. I can't stand wide mouth bottles and hate to drink from metal or plastic. I'm happy to see they survived the drop, given its not borosilicate glass.
I guess Hydromate didn’t exist when this video was made.
Those with silicone protective shield (your winner ).. those are garbage.. dirt's goes in-between the glass and sleeve and it is pain in the butt to clean it up.
Seriously lose the plastic water bottles and go with this!!
