Water Bottles. They might not seem like a big deal-they really are in high school. Different types of water bottles serve as one of the fastest growing trends in high school. But, do people really buy the water bottle because of it's benefits or just because everybody else is carrying one around? Do people even know the different benefits or the story behind the water bottles? Three of the most trending water bottles, S'well and Camelbak, have a series of benefits and great stories behind them that nobody even really knows.
S'well was a water bottle company that was actually started in 2010, but it didn't really take off until 2016. The idea behind the company was to get rid of plastic water bottles and to better the environment in the process. Also, S'well gives back a lot to UNICEF. UNICEF is a foundation that helps save and protect children all over the world. S'well has donated $200,000 since 2015 to this great cause. In addition to supporting a good cause, S'well bottles have a series of hydration benefits. A S'well bottle can keep cold drinks cold for 24 hours and hot drinks hot for 12 hours. This is a great aspect of a water bottle. So, when you buy a S'well water bottle you are helping support a great cause as well as helping yourself with cold and hot drinks for extended periods of time.
Camelbak is a veteran hydration company with its roots in 1989. The founder of Camelbak, Michael Edison, originally had his idea for water bottles on your back when he was cycling. His idea made a monumental change for cyclists alike all around the world. The company became very successful, yet with all their success they haven't forgotten about their values. The quality of their product is something that stands out to them. In 2011, they started the "Got Your Bak" policy This is a lifetime guarantee that ensures all Camelbak products will always be manufactured properly without defect. Each of their products goes through extreme and intense testing to make sure they are perfect. One of Camelbak's main values also goes towards a reusable water bottle effort. They place a lot of importance on saving the environment. Camelbak has a variety of products from water backpacks, water bottles and stainless steel products. This company, while older in the industry, hasn't swayed from their original ideals of quality.
While both of these companies provide a series of water bottle benefits, the concept of reusable water bottles is the same. Both of these companies have different and unique values that they stay true to. The companies have had humble beginnings, yet throughout the course of success have not strayed from their true ideals. While these water bottles may just seem like trends, there is a lot more to them.
