A Birthday Gift


I spent my birthday at the hospital with little Scotty. Late that evening Seth came to visit us and he even brought me a couple birthday gifts. One of these gifts was a Klean Kanteen. I had asked a while back for some sort of steel drinkin' bottle. Not aluminum: Alzheimers. Not plastic: reproductive harm rumors and whatcetera. So, steel. And Seth somehow remembered and brought it to me on my birthday.

Mine is the blue one. I was worried that the steel would make the water taste all metallica, and also that the water would taste bad, like remember those metal canteens from Scout campouts and hikes? Remember the ugly ones with the stripey blanket stuff on the sides. Ewww. No WAY those are ever getting cleaned out. So that's what I was afraid of. But I've been pleasantly surprised. I fill it up with my delicious Aurora tap water and I drink...delicious Aurora tap water. No yuck metal taste, no mildewy grodiness. Crisp and clean, no caffeine.

In conclusion, I really like my Klean Kanteen. The doofy "K" spelling is mitigated for me by the fact that they spell Klean with an "ea" instead of two e's. So, thumbs up!

Ok, I love this "kanteen"! I want one, where did he find it? The closest place I found was Boulder, maybe I should just order it online, but I hate waiting :( Do you still love it?
