Dear the Internet,
I have a new love in my life and her name is 16 oz Insulated Klean Kanteen.
I upgraded from a Nalgene to my blue 27 oz Klean Kanteen a little over ago year and haven't looked back. It's durable, doesn't taste like plastic when the water gets warm, and doesn't give me brain tumors or whatever was supposed to happen if you drank out of an old Nalgene.
A couple of months ago, I was shopping at Sports Basement and the Insulated Klean Kanteens caught my eye. I had a thermos and it was getting me by, but I wanted more. Because I move like molasses when it comes to purchasing anything I don't desperately need, I ended up not getting one until a few weeks ago. I've been in heaven ever since. My baby does a much better job of keeping my hot stuff hot and my cold stuff cold. I can put coffee in there in the morning, ride the bus, and then still have piping hot coffee when I get to work. This sounds like the fundamental purpose of a thermos, but my old one would give me tepid coffee after walking the block from Starbucks to my office. Also, my favorite coffee shop (Philz on 18th) only charges for a small when you use a thermos even though they put a large's worth of coffee in it. That means that I save $0.50 every time I get coffee at Philz. If you do a bit of math, it means that it will pay for itself in about four months. That is just good financial sense! You also get to feel superior to all the people that are killing the environment with their disposable cups. It's the beverage equivalent of driving a Prius and the only way to save the planet is with self-righteousness. I know it sounds like I'm getting paid by Klean Kanteen, but I'm not. Hell, I hardly even get paid by the people I actually work for (hey-o). It's just the honest truth that I love this thermos. Maybe I'll change my tune if it leaks or explodes or something but, for the time being, I'm in the puppy love stage.
