  1. 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

  2. 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.?

  3. 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…

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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!

  7. 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.
