So…can anyone tell me why a S’well water bottle costs nearly $50?

So many of the university students I see every day are toting one of these bottles. I don’t get it. The website claims that the bottle keeps drinks cold for 24 hours and hot for 12 hours. I don’t know about you, but I’ve never needed to keep my water cold for 24 hours…I usually need to refill my water after an hour or two. And hot? I’m not really a fan of 12-hour old coffee.
Maybe I just don’t have the need for a high-end water bottle because I was never a plastic-bottle water drinker, and there are perfectly good drinking fountains at work where I can fill up my glass.
What do you think? Do you own one? What do you think of it? Do tell!
I’ve often wondered about this as well so I’m excited to see if any of your readers can share some feedback. I am very guilty of drinking plastic bottled water so I’ve never had the need to pour it into something else and for hot beverages I have a great plaid Thermos that keeps my tea piping hot! They don’t look like a good bottle for holding say…a beer or a bourbon-ade (which I usually use my Tervis tumbler for) so I just don’t get it! Was this all just great marketing? xx celebratingthislife.ca
