Admittedly, I have a problem with owning wayyy too many water bottles. I've tried almost every brand and have always found something that I don't like. But the Takeya is my favorite because it comes in 40oz, flat bottom that ensures it won't fall over, small mouth opening (so I don't dribble on myself), the carrying handle, and the price. Literally my favorite bottle I own.
Same review as I gave the 14 oz. bottle: "These are my favorite bottles and accompany us to beach & school & campground. The lids are indeed the best. Great handle. Quick to open & close. No rubber straw. Wide-mouth bottle makes cleaning & adding ice cubes easy. Thank you!"
