Have a blessed Christmas everyone!

We felt compelled to share a story with everyone today, about the demise of one such bottle. Needless to say, some of us at GUK have fallen prey to the allure of plastic bottles at times, the sexy curves, the bright neon colors, the light feeling and the transparency of them. Gee it's cool to be able to see how much water I have left in my plastic bottle. And oh, the convenient click caps that come with them are so irresistible too! I mean, it's not easy to stay firm to your stainless steel bottles with these plastic bottles all over the supermarkets and department stores!
But what happened today is a perfect tale of trend versus classic, and price versus quality. The trendy, superlight and clickable plastic bottle fell from the car as the door opened, and off came the cap. It could no longer be fastened properly, and in one instant it became trash, cheap trash.
Choose quality over price. And choose steel over plastic. We'll guarantee your stainless steel bottle won't break with a fall from the car seat.
