Product Review

If you're anything like most people, you can't live without your favorite beverages, whether it's the life-sustaining cup of coffee that you drag to work with you every morning, the endless gulps of water and electrolyte-fortified sports drinks that keep you going through a long afternoon at the gym or a tough practice session with the company softball team, or the iced tea that you sip while you're unwinding at home and watching the sun go down. You don't need any help to enjoy your drink as it warms you up, cools you down, or gives you the energy you need to tackle a full day of work and play, but like everything else in your life, savoring the moments that you spend sipping your beverages of choice can seem a little trickier once you think about all the errands you run, miles you drive, and tiny annoyances that you have to shrug off during all your waking hours. After all, how much caffeine can you get from coffee or tea that spills all over your lap or splashes the fabric on your passenger seat whenever your car has to make a sudden stop? How are you supposed to cool off with a glass of lemonade or a freshly opened bottle of soda if it's already disgustingly lukewarm by the time you have the chance to take your first gulp? Why is it so hard to stay hydrated when you're dodging potholes with your car or truck, bobbing along on the waves of a nearby lake during your latest vacation, or bumping across the city on the last train home? With the way it's designed, it'll be easy enough for you to click one of these lids open whenever you want to take a drink or take it off entirely when you need a refill, but difficult for the contents of your cup to spill under any other conditions, which gives you a chance to enjoy all of life's most refreshing, thirst quenching comforts even when you're on the go.
