WHAT IS IT?
Blue Q Stainless Steel Water Bottles
WHAT IT’S SUPPOSED TO DO?
The bottles are decorated with lead-free inks and hold 20 ounces. Made of lightweight stainless steel
HOW MUCH IT COSTS
$18.
DID IT WORK?
Yes, very similar to a coffee thermos, but keeps water cold instead of hot. These seem to be the latest fad “must haves.” People noticed I had it and told me it was much healthier than drinking from a plastic bottle.
WHAT DID YOU LIKE ABOUT IT?
Fill it with ice and your water stays cold for a long time.
WHAT DID YOU DISLIKE ABOUT IT?
It squeaked when opened, sounded like fingernails on chalkboard! Also, I’ve seen others that had a belt hook, and/or a spout to drink from without having to open them.
IS IT WORTH THE MONEY?
I’ve seen many of these advertised at around $6.
WOULD YOU BUY IT?
No. I want one that has a spout, and won’t squeak.
WOULD YOU RECOMMEND IT?
Yes, if you want to spend that much and find one that doesn’t squeak.
