Testing 5 Water Bottles That Are More Than Just Water Bottles

- Here is a collection of "misfit" water bottles that have multiple functions but rarely come up in discussions about the best water bottles available. Also, the collapsible bottle seems to be Amazon's Choice once again /shrug. Note that prices mentioned here are subject to change (and likely will).

If you fill the Thor bottle with alcohol you could say, "I got really hammered last night."
Shut your mouth lol 😂
i like your thinking funny man
i like your comment but don't want to f* up the amount of likes
Don't know if it will be brought up, but my bamboo tumbler had an issue I think needs to be brought up.
When I had very hot tea inside it and screwed off the cap, I the bamboo sleeve itself came off and had to be reglued onto the metal core. Nothing bad happened and it still holds temperature for hot and cold drinks decently, but I wanted to bring it up for anyone that was interested
the bindle would be good for bringing coffee and some biscuits or you could put some trail mix or even soup in it
Or you can use the compartment for cereal to keep it crispy
I use the Stanley thermos, its so good, stainless steel, navy blue color, holds 1 liter and it keeps cold liquids cold for over 12 hours
Or weed n liquor
yeaaaaaaaaaaa issa “sugar” comparment
I was wondering if it would keep some grapes or berries cold if you had a cold drink in the top.
I always take an empty water bottle with me when I go to the airport. That collapsible one will come in handy.
I was thinking the same thing. Good travel accessory.
Some airports now have free taps after check in +security. There is also always the bathroom to fill up
@@NyanyiC who tf fills bathroom water for drinking
The hammer would be great for someone cosplaying as Thor at Comicon 😄
I thought the same thing! If they want it to be realistic, they could even cover it in foam!
I could see Thors hammer water bottle with moonshine inside. Now you have the power of white lighting!
thats exactly what i was thinking
Brilliant. 👍😊
When I saw the bindle bottle, my mind went to snack compartment. Like a bottle for hiking adding granola to the storage seemed like a good idea.
I was thinking "hey, you could put a collapsible cup in there!" and then I stopped to think about that one after I gave myself a mental head slap...
Food was my first thought of what to put in there
I also thought of a baggie of protein powder or BCAA's and a snack.
You put your weed in there
Fellow food lovers 😁
I just got a Yeti 26oz Tumbler and the ice stayed frozen for the whole day out in the Vegas heat of last week. Most of that time it was in my very hot car. Definitely worth the $50 to have cold water instead of hot water.
Love my yeti tumbler
Any thermos will do that
I agree. Yetis hold their temperature better than any other vessel I have, even vacuum insulated stainless steel. I don’t know how they do it.
Is the bottom compartment of the bindle bottle watertight? Then you could use the capacity for storing more water.
Lmfao
I am pretty certain the Thor's Hammer bottle is more fun at a college party. I am also certain water is not the intended use ;)
like a drunk female accidentally sitting on it
i just added the Collapsible to my amazon order I like the idea to be able to have it in my purse when I need it.
I've had so many different types of collapsible bottles and I've pretty much given up on all of them because of the difficulties in cleaning them.
Yeah I could see how that would be a problem
I used them for a few years and had no problem cleaning them. just make sure you put them over the spatula handle in an upright position so they can drain properly
I had issues with my collapsible bottle not staying upright very well once I'd drank more than 50% of the water. The design of mine is different from the one in the video though.
@Mr.Springtrap that’s false… how would you clean a baby bottle then? …..You can simply buy a dish brush to scrub them
@Mr.Springtrap Lmfaoo there’s no way your hand can fit in a baby bottle I hope you’re joking
What are you talking about? I don't leave the house without my thor water bottle it's perfect and if I'm ever attacked I got a mighty fine weapon😂
I haven't seen this mentioned for the Bindle, so I thought I'd put it out there: I think this water bottle is really attractive for when you're exerciersizing and don't have pockets (i.e. lots of women's clothing). Also, even if exercise clothing has pockets in it, it doesn't keep things like you ID and cash super secure, so I think the Bindle would be extra attractive for things that would require your ID and money, or even a micro-wallet, and would likely be more secure than just having them in your pocket anyway. The added protection from being in metal is also attractive.
The Thor hammer bottle doesn’t seem so worthy
Neat idea but cheap execution imo
I don't see how the Mjolnir bottle would be bought as anything other than just a funny and "neat" thing to have with no practical use. At least the dumbbell one seemed to function like its purpose and kind of makes some sense (it has a large volume with the "bells" but the narrowness of the handle makes it easy to hold.) but the Mjolnir one? I mean, I don't see the why in it.
People cosplaying as thor for cons? They could wrap it in some foam, make it look realistic and then their prop becomes a water bottle. 🤷🏼♀️
You actually just sold me on that collapsible water bottle. Seems like it would be perfect for putting in a carry on and going through airport security.
It's a knockoff of a Kickstarter bottle, it's not even in production for backers yet
@@julianlaresch6266 but it still works.......
I have a similar one from Ikea. Been using it for years when I go abroad.
Thors hammer would make an awesome decanter if it was glass/crystal.
I was thinking stainless steel, drink shaker would make more sense for Thor's Hammer. The handle doubles as a muddle.
The collapsible one seems the most practical to have and use, good for traveling through airport security to fill up later.
My pro tip for the compartment would be to add a cloth or a few paper towels. That should greatly dampen the noise!
I thought the noise just kind of sounded like ice in the bottle
that Thor's hammer is definitely supposed to have liquor in it always.
The collapsible water bottle seems like a good idea; but, wouldn't you risk mold and mildew if the bottle was collapsed before it was completely dried on the inside?
Excellent point
I'm also worried about it tasting like rubber. im kinda biased to the stainless steel bottles. i got the coldest from watching James and I love it 💖
I am actually one of those people who don't like drinking from stainless steel either. I've even tried the steel straws and can't really stand drinking from them. I don't know why and didn't really think much about it til you just said it, but I'm definitely in that camp 😁
I’m the same I don’t like stainless steel bottles or even the restaurant that keep drinks in the steel holders.
Lol i only use plastic utensils I won't eat it if I there is only metal so I'm in that no metal waterbottle camp too
I agree with not liking the metal straws. I found a 5 pack of hard plastic straws with a cleaner at Walmart which I have been using for years.
@@donnamanitu8673 ah, hard plastic would be ok. I got some of those flimsy rubber like plastic straws, silicone I guess, and I don't care for those either. Not cause they bother me like the metal, just too flimsy.
I can taste metal no matter what. It's like chewing tin foil.
Somehow I get the idea the Thor Hammer is for drinking alcohol.
Mead specifically.
Comic con is about to get lit
chugging you mean hahaha
And for sexual pleasure as well
@@olmec2012 You need help.
I thought I was subscribed to you for 3 years but I just get it recommended anyways. So now I'm subscribed.
We found someone else capable of lifting the mighty mjolnir
9:31 i think one of those rubber bands would be better if you want to do workout while traveling. They are very light. Don't take much space. And you can use them for multiple different excercises.
Bravo! This is no Lazy Russian Slacker!!!
I've hated crazy russian hacker since I was a child and I'm 22 now lol
@@travisburkley23 his content used to be interesting, like when he tested mre packages. Now his channel grew stale, but he's still a good guy
My god... I haven't thought about Taras in forever. Used to binge his videos like I do this channel, Life of Boris, Barry Lewis... I think he fell out of my recommendations one day a few years ago and I never saw anything of his after that. That's depressing to hear.
Edit: though now that I'm thinking about it, my "binging" videos have changed from having them on in the background to actively watching. Maybe that's why I stopped and I just don't remember.
@@enigmaoftheechidna6279 I agree with you as well……his channel is mostly about coins and junk boxes….use to be a big fan but not anymore
@@sleepythemis He's making millions off reposting old content on Facebook these days
Thank you very much for your review. I have a different kind of a collapsible water bottle. It's very hard to handle when you're half or more through drinking what's in it because it bends in half and folds over on you! The big black one could hold a different kind of drink in the bottom part, or you could put a snack in there.
the Bindle with some foam padding inside so it doesn't make that metallic noise would be great.
A simple design working for ages let's change it.
Cap needs to be attached....have a bone yard of cap less water bottles.
Best tip I found from washing out things that u can’t put your hand in is to let water run into it till all the soap over flows out takes less time and a lot easier
*for
Yep that’s exactly how I do it fill it up partway drop in your soap cap it shake the hell out of dump out as much liquid and soap as you can and then just let the hot water overflow it until all the soap is out and then to check it just get it filled it up partway put the cap on shake the hell out of it you don’t see any soap bubbles you’re clean I mean let’s face it you’re not gonna put stuff like soda pop in there maybe some Gatorade, but hard liquor is the best choice.
I purchased The Coldest Water bottle (I went with the 64oz) after your video I don’t need anything else I love it.
try the tal zeus 3 liter (101oz). I have one from walmart for 30 US dollars and dang is that the best one I have ever tried so far.
Always a fun watch. Great content as always!
Actually can’t explain why exactly, but your reviews are highly addictive!🤝
FR
For me it's his personality, he's so chill unlike other reviewers who are more robot and you can tell they are reading a script, while he just feels like a dad trying to find some good products
Because he's such a cutie
This is so true. This is the only review channel i watch.
Would love to see a review of the Sandy Hand bottle/can openers
Surprisingly nice looking bottles! I hope the Bindle isn't really supposed to be used for hiding things, because that "hidden" compartment is the most obvious one I think I have ever seen. If I ever saw one, trying to unscrew that bottom part would be the first thing I would do.
Seems like the dumbbell & Thors hammer would be difficult to drink as it gets nearly empty
Another upload I love it!
To get soap out of a bottle, don't rinse it over and over. Place the bottle under the tap and the water will fill the bottle and push all the soap out. :)
I’m honestly surprised there wasn’t a UFO shaped water bottle know James likes the UFO stuff 🤣😂🤣
Was hoping to see the TAL zeus 3 liter bottle in the video. Especially due to its claims of keeping cold/hot for an extended period of time. And its relatively cheap compared to the bottles shown.
I justt commented on this. I have one and for 30 US dollars....omg it rocks!!. yes during the WA state USA recent heat furnace (may 2021) with no AC in my house. I filled it with 1/3rd ice and the other 2/3rds filtered water. A good amount say..oh 70% of the ice was still ice, as I only sipped on it...and yeah FOUR days later in 95 fahrenheit plus degree room and yup it held its temperature very impressed by it.
@@pleighto77 i have one as well. I use it on the warmer/hot days at work. I had mine quarter full of ice for 4 days without any issues and could have been longer with more ice. Mine sat in the sun on days between 90-105 Fahrenheit as well.
Thank for all the work u put into your videos.
I love the design of the bamboo bottle💗. I changed from China coffee cup to Eco friendly Bamboo cups with lids, I use every day and fits in my cup holder. Now my whole family is converted. Thanks for another awesome review, you have inspired me on a few buys and saved me from making big mistake 😊love your channel 💗
Random hiker: "What's in your backpack? Looks rather heavy!"
You: "Water. Lots and lots of water."
"I prefer tea bags" good to know. 🤣
Thanks! Where can I get the flying saucer you have? I love that!
Please do a review for the best bluetooth earbuds on amazon. (Best quality and price)
Imagine seeing this guy at the park, he pulls out three water bottles from his bag then starts drinking out of a dumbbell
"I'm more of a tea bag person" quote of the year!🤣
"The Thor fan who has everything." 😂😂
Bindle bottle it the perfect stoner water bottle lol stay hydrated when smoking guys !
Stash your cash. . . or hash. . .
@@ferociousgumby I would but its 68$ CAD I won't have anything to put inside :(
I dont even smoke and thats what i thought, stoners going to use it to sneak weed it concerts and stuff
@@MrJames_Bondage hell yeah ! Great use of the Bindle
Love your backpack I was wondering where you got it from?
I am adding that Bindle one to my wish list! It seems perfect for the gym. $68 in Canada. Will watch for a price drop. Here's hoping!
The collapsible bottle arms practical. The one with bamboo looks kind of classy, could drink from it anywhere.
The bottle that has the hidden competent at the bottom will naturally rattle but if you use a napkin or kitchen paper to wrap the stuff in then it would not rattle. The same time you have paper if you happen to need to wipe anything.
Problem is that everyone that's heard of Bindle now knows there's a hidden compartment thanks to the branding all over the bottle.
I’ve gotten Lunatec Spray water bottle & it’s been the best water bottle I’ve ever came across. You pressurize with its pump & you can have 1 stream, 3 streams or mist mode. It makes drinking water fun as it’s like having a small hose in your mouth. Mist is very helpful for hot days.
Omg that Dumbell Bottle is really cool!!
Hey Hi from Reno!!! :) Love your reviews.
LOVE the bindle bottle!
An idea - someone could use the Thor hammer waterbottle as the core for a prop. You could fill it with lead shot and it would be way heaver than it looks. Then wrap the hammer in thin metal, or cosplay materials, and wrap the handle in leather.
Useless as a water bottle, but it could still have use!
Great video, James. Still love your content after all these years. Please keep them coming.
The Bindle bottle seems like it would be perfect for people at festivals. Especially my ladies without pockets.
Sold on the Collapsible and Bindle for traveling!
Reminds me of this old novelty beer mug with a dumbbell attached to the bottom.
I wonder if the Bindle 2nd compartment is water-tight as well. You could chuck a 2nd beverage or ice there.
Instead of Storage, put some snacks in there and turn it upside-down. Presto! Grapes, chips, veggies you name it. That would sell better than putting your dirty Wallet contents inside a drinking device.
Exactly what I thought--water and snacks all in one!
Thanks for the water bottle review, James!
Hey! Do you have any little smelly spots you need to rid of its unpleasant smell? I have a recliner that I want to rid of a musty, old smell and I was wondering if that 'OdorXit Eliminator' worked or if there are other products out there that work?! It's said to not only rid clothing and furniture of moldy smells but the whole house! There appears to be a couple of different configurations of the product, packets & liquids. I was wondering if you could review it?
I do the colapsable technique when I polish off bottled water they take up less room when empty and thrown in the bag
That bamboo one is dapper.
The bindle would be neat for a mini survival kit. Could easily fit a knife, a lighter, some tinder, and some cordage in that storage compartment. Probably a few bandaids and fish hooks.
Stainless steel insulated bottles from Contigo work best for me. Wide enough openings to add ice yet comfortable to hold in one hand, easy to clean, and stay cold for well over 12 hours. Hard to beat. In comparison, none of those you reviewed would even be in the same league imho.
You are wearing long sleeves in 39°C and barely sweating. Master, teach me how!
Didn't even know Amazon's choice was a thing you could gain or lose.
Please keep this up bro we need u
I'm sorry but the Thor hammer looks like a failed booze bottle
why are you sorry
You're not worthy
a table spoon of dry rice with water works great for bottles that are difficult to clean. water + rice + shaking a few minutes => clean bottle :)
good to know, thanks!
That isn't going to sanitize the bottle.
The rice itself has some kinds of bacteria, it's not good, better choice would be to use rocks salt and water the thick salt will help clean up and as a sanitizer too.
@@memese7677 so rice is 'infested' with some alien bacteria? good to know ;) i guess all people who eat rice are crazy? do you even know bacteria needs moisture to stay alive and how many different bacteria live in your healthy guts...
@@forsago dam* man you made me laugh , sorry about that, why are you triggered! I didn't mean that it's not healthy or good to use rice what I meant was the salt is much more suitable option for that purpose of work,we use it to sanitise chicken when we clean it before cooking it.
I think the compartment be good for gym keeping some cash for machines or smooth bar or if like with my old gym didn't feel safe leaving my surf like cash or cards in the locker room, it the reason I look for deep secure pockets in my gym clothes to hold them but it's not comfortable running with a wallet slapping your leg on a treadmill so this may be perfect for me thanks and keep up the great reviews
The Bindle bottle would be nice for a day out on the river or lake. If the bottom compartment keeps your items water tight, it would work well to tie onto your tube/raft/kayak. Always having to find a safe way to hold onto and keep your keys dry during a float down the river.
Thor's Hammer bottle *can* be used outdoors, at the gym, etc., but it *will* most likely be used at college parties.
Looking at them all ilke the collapsible one I'd carry that In !my bag brilliant .
Can you do a review on the Greens Steel Beast travel cup?
I wonder how the dumbbell one will be to drink from when it’s nearly empty
Was wondering the same.
Love the vids
The Thor Hammer looks like something a drunk kid would carry around a party drinking a mixed drink out of..lol
Bindle could actually be useful. Stash foldable silicone cup and some utensils there.
I've had a few 2.2 liters in my life and I love them so much but they break from just falling over.
I got the Tal Zeus 101 oz or 3 liter one from walmart. I was surprised. when Washington state usa end of May 2021 had our heat furnace blast. My room with no Ac got to 95F for a few days. I filled it with 1/3rd ice and the rest filtered water. That crazy thing still had most the ice still as ice and the water cold...... FOUR days later while sing it. Very impressed by that. It was about 30 USD.
Someone cosplaying as Thor would have lots of fun covering that water bottle to make it more realistic, and get confused looks when they drink out of it. I think it would be a great prop too because having water at a con is very important.
You had me at tea.
Little Jon may have started the most suspect drink container, the Gas Can.
2:47 😳🧐😧
I have a ThermoFlask and I Love ♥️ it❗️Keeps the water and ice super cold.
The Thor hammer one looks less like a water bottle and more like something somebody's drunk uncle would use as an alcohol flask in front of the kids to look cool.
hi, new to the channel love thee content but can you please tell me what is at the left of all your videos in the studio? some type of cell structure ?
Looks like the pic of a mandelbrot set to me. Probably a chart on fractals
E: added a sentence.
That Thor "water bottle" is probably better as a creative sneaky flask😆jk
A lot of people don’t know this about the bindle bottle but you can put your weed in there lol
Gonna have to put some greys in that black beard in your logo 😅
Love the dedication to your videos. Keeo it up buddy
The Bindle is for your weed!! 😆
Let's take a look at the thor hammer unboxing takes bag off it ... lmao 🤣🤣
I like that Thore hammer bottle looks really cool 😎
