    I think it’s because when people are looking for a BIFL product they’re looking to replace a pattern of behavior (disposables) or something they broke. Water bottles are one of the most disposed of items (it’s truly shocking that selling water which should be free is a ~300 billion dollar industry), and experience a lot of drops and abuse in the form of getting tossed in the dishwasher. So I think what we mostly see when people present, or ask for their water bottles is basically real world experience with “Hey! This is my thing, this is the longest I’ve had one of these thing. It’s doing pretty good I think!” or “Hey, I broke my thing. Do y’all have suggestions for thing that has lasted a long time”

    I’d say 20 year old stanley mug is a GREAT endorsement for stanley mug.

    Contigo is in such a funny spot. It’s overrepresented in non-BIFL spaces but also underrepresented in BIFL spaces. Like it’s not my preference, but you can’t argue with that they genuinely seem to last good. Like a hydroflask or klean kanteen travel mug is probably more durable, especially if you put a bottle boot on them, but if you want a travel mug you can open and close one handed… Contigo is kinda it
