I never knew how much I needed an insulated water bottle that FITS IN MY CAR'S CUP HOLDER.TLDR - Overall Review: The design allows it to sit in my car's cup holder, which is a huge plus. I drive my car for work, which means I am driving for at least 4 hours of a regular work shift (not including commuting time to-and-from work). I leave my water bottle in the car throughout the day, and every single time (even without ice) I come back to a cold drink.My only problem with this? I need to buy a bigger bottle.TLDR - Long paragraph:- My car's cup holder is now SOLELY reserved for this insulated water bottle. It has a designated spot, and nothing else shall occupy that spot.- The design of the bottle, helps keep my eyes focused on the road (and GPS) knowing it fits in my cup holder.- Only one hand is needed to open the spout*****Please skip the below paragraph if you do not want to read actual experience(S) of mine (Or, if long/multiple paragraphs scare you)******Picture this, you're cruising on the way to work, gym, home, side-bae's house, main bae's house (whatever, or whomever it may be), and you're are absolutely PARCHED, in need of a dire sip of water, coffee, juice, pre-workout, protein shake (whatever it may be, to get you ready for the many different possible tasks that await you at each of those aforementioned locations!); but alas!Your current insulated water bottle is laying on its side on the passenger seat (OR EVEN WORSE, you made a harder-than-anticipated last-second reflex slam on your break! And now... it is laying on its lonesome in the corner of the passenger side FLOOR that is always out of reach because of seat belts [Curse you safety measures!]).Which means you have to do the impossible (okay, maybe not impossible; but, highly frowned upon by the DMV!) MULTI-TASKING! Specifically? Gathering courage and taking your eyes off the road momentarily to locate your water bottle, maneuver your body (maybe a seat belt or two) to acquire said water bottle. But, you're not home free yet! You then have to either use TWO hands to open it, OR place it between your legs (hope you have enough leg strength left even though it was leg day at the gym) to open said bottle, and then finally drink (which, depending on the bottle you have, will possibly block one of your eyes)***** Below are my pros and cons, if you skipped the paragraphs; at least read my TLDR's and Pro's and Con's *****Pros:- Insulated water bottle (duh)- Design fits in car's cup holder- Handle allows me to carry my bottle with my pinky, leaving my hand open for other important stuff like... breakfast on the go.- Only one hand is needed to open the spout- I've done an ice test. (Left my water bottle full of ice, in my car for 24 hours; and, after I came back I still had more than HALF of my ice left inside my water bottle)- 2 internal straws!- Non-Slip rubber base (I'm heavy handed, so I tend to accidentally slam stuff)Cons:- It needs bigger sizes (but, that's my personal problem I drink way too much water)- Wish it came with a straw cleaner- Not really a con but, I DID stain an internal straw. (However, that was mainly my fault. I left thermal full of coffee for a weekend. Yeah yeah, I know it says "Water Bottle" not "Coffee Bottle")Neutral/No review:- I have not done a hot coffee/liquid test, as previously stated driving is a hugely incorporated to how I make my living. I do not want to risk burning any part of my mouth.Disclaimer: I do not condone drinking and driving, or multi-tasking and driving, or uhh, any possible issue that the DMV might see wrong with this review. Please follow all DMV/traffic laws and what not.Notes:- WHILE WRITING THIS REVIEW I JUST REALIZED I CAN BUY ANOTHER ONE OF THESE, AND HAVE ONE ON EACH CUP HOLDER. OH MAN, I AM EXCITED.
