Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First off, let me say that this is totally a 5 star water bottle. I give it only 4 stars because it does NOT come with the extra straw, brush, and carabiner that the add says is included. I received a replacement order because of this and the second one didn't have these items included either. Amazon customer service was great, and the replacement was received very quickly. If they change the ad to remove that these items are included, I'll change my review to 5 stars...but as of this posting, it stills shows "Extra straw, brush, and carabiner included". Okay, now that we have that out of the way, let me tell you about this thing... It is by far the best water bottle I've ever had of any size (I have the gallon size). This thing will last a lifetime with minimal care...used by someone who acts like they know how to use a water bottle and it could probably last forever. It IS a bit heavy when full, but if you're concerned about your water intake you're obviously being health conscious and should appreciate the added exercise it gives you when carrying it around. The handle is quite comfortable. If anyone finds fault with this water bottle, I feel sorry for the people in their lives, because they can never live up to that person's expectations. Now, the price...oh, man! When I first saw $114 for this thing I literally made the "pffft!" sound and clicked on to the next one. But after checking several other much less expensive water bottles, my curiosity for the best of me, and I just had to go back and see what made this bottle worthy of such a price. The ad sold me, and I took a chance, and I'm glad I did. This was one of those times when an acquisition felt more like an investment than a purchase. Buy this water bottle and some future ancestor could have something to carry around water if they survive whatever apocalypse you choose to believe is inevitable.
