How long have you had your current water bottle? (lemmy.one)

I've been using a reusable 36oz/1L plastic "flip lid" bottle from Bezos's market - this is my third one (sadly replaced almost on a yearly basis) since I keep accidentally breaking the lids.

It practically comes everywhere with me - walking, cycling, in my backpack. This lid is starting to crack at the hinge and the latch though, but don't really want to replace it with the same thing again.

How long have you had you had your current bottle, and how are you finding it so far?

I have a couple of cheap no-name screw top steel water bottles I bought from a Kroger almost 20 years ago for like $3-ish a piece. I bought them solely because the bottle part was one solid piece, and they didn't have any of the weird plastic clearcoat a lot of steel drinkware has, which meant I could boil water in them if I needed to when I was up camping or hiking. A lot of other more expensive bottles being made at the time were two or three pieces press-fit together, and wouldn't be likely to survive much of that.

I've been using them daily more or less constantly since then. They're a little banged up, but still going strong. I wish I knew where I could buy more.
