I know it seems a bit dramatic to say that a water bottle is amazing, but bear with me here. The Rubbermaid 20-oz water bottle has changed my life. I love this thing. I carry it with me everywhere and even use it at home. Here is why it is so great.
Helps Keep Track of Your Water Intake
Everyone knows you need to drink at least eight 8-ounce servings of water per day to stay hydrated and healthy. That is 64 ounces of water. Using the water bottle helps to keep track of your water intake. If your goal is 64 ounces, you know you need to drink three full bottles, plus another half glass or so. Milliliter and ounce measurements are written right on the bottle.
Has a Straw and Does Not Spill
This is where the amazing part comes in. You know those beverages like water or sports drinks that come in special pop-out top bottles? I hate those. They are great for drinking, but the liquid always manages to spill in my bag. Who needs a wet wallet? This Rubbermaid water bottle does not spill. The straw flips up and has to be pulled all the way back to be used. What a brilliant invention! There is no way it can open by accident in your purse.
Perfect for Diet Drink Powders
Crystal Light and 4C make those individual serving low calorie drink powders in flavors like iced tea and lemonade. The commercials show them being used in a 16 ounce water bottle, but I use them in the 20-ounce Rubbermaid, and the strength of the flavor is absolutely perfect. It is still sweet and yummy.
Cleaning is Easy
The bottle is designed for easy cleaning. You just take off the lid, and wash it. You can run water right through the straw from both ends. This is super-important to do, because germs can definitely fester and make you sick if you don’t wash your bottle. A lot of people don’t realize that they are making themselves ill by reusing their water bottles without careful cleaning.
Great for Kids
This bottle is great for children too. You can put juice or milk in the bottle and send them off to school or play. It is perfect for when they will be out all day and need more than just a juice box.
Looks Pretty
Okay, I’ll admit it. My favorite thing about the Rubbermaid 20-oz water bottle is the design. It is sleek and has these cute circles to display milliliter and ounce amounts. It has a retro-1950s Jetsons kind of feel. The bottles come in clear and opaque styles, but I prefer the clear because I like to see what I am drinking.
I hope you enjoy this fabulous product! I got mine for $2.99 at the supermarket. It also comes in a one liter size.
