THERMOS FUNTAINER 12 Ounce Bottle
[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "It keeps water cold all day and doesn't leak...what more can I say?! When I first got these I filled them up and tested for leaking. When the lid was closed and I laid it on its side there was water in the top when I opened it. I was bummed. Looked like the water was leaking out of the vent for the straw. Then I noticed a little knobby thing (yup that's the technical term) on the lid that clearly was supposed to plug that hole when the lid closed. After checking it out more I realized when i put the straw in, the part you sip on, I didn't get it all the way up. So you push it in from the underside, but after you do that, grab the part you sip on and give it a tug. It will come up through the lid just a little bit more. Then I closed the lid and it hasn't leaked since.\n\nI think anyone else with reviews saying it leaks probably hasn't figured this out. And whoever uploaded the video of it leaking, aka pouring out of the straw when the lid isn't closed...ah duh lady. Straws don't seal themselves. Of course tipping it upside down will make the water pour out. Come on.\n\nIt comes in a ton of different options and my kids love them! Also, they're not that heavy. Some people make it seem like their kid cant lift these, my 2 yr old daughter carries hers all day wherever she goes."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "My kids have used 'Thermos Funtainers' for 7 years. This style does the 2 things I need - they don't leak and they stay cold until lunchtime. (My daughter even wanted to drink from hers when lunch was at home this past year, so I know they don't alter the taste of their drink.) Two of my children can't drink cow's milk so they take non-dairy milk to school, camp, or on road trips. I just ordered 1 more of these leakproof, stay-cold, beverage containers now that school is back in person; an extra so I won't have to wash them every night.\nBUT, I am not sure how the new handle will hold up... It seems like it's going to snap off after it gets in the way of the user too many times?? I'll update ONLY if it breaks. (Pics show the 'new handle' vs original.)\nThe kids don't use the handle, really, but the new style is made so that if the handle breaks off it will expose 2 holes in the lid.\nHints I have learned over the years: Put the empty cannister only (no lid or straw) into the fridge overnight OR the freezer for a few minutes in the morning to keep the container colder longer when on the go. Not needed, but does help if it's a hot day.\nHave your kid (or you) rinse out their thermos as soon as they are able when they get home. A simple flush of water - not a wasteful amount! :) - through the straw helps it from getting clogged. If you forget to do the pre-rinse then make sure you have a good straw cleaning brush or pipe cleaner.\nIf you wash in the dishwasher, top rack only does matter and separate all 3 parts of the lid/straw every time - it will make the parts last longer."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "Honestly don't know why there are so many positive reviews on this item. I literally never write reviews but went out of my way to write a negative review on this because it LEAKS ALL THE TIME!!! Drives me crazy. It's great that it's stainless steal and minimal plastic, PBA free, etc but seriously every time we use it my toddler is sitting in a puddle in the stroller or car seat. It's so frustrating. I want to like it but I just had to throw all of them away because we needed multiple outfit changes from the leaks. If you don't mind getting constantly wet or it's for an older child that doesn't sit in a seat then maybe it's better but I can't take it anymore."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I read reviews stating these do not hold 12 ounces and that’s not true. Bought these for our 2.5 year old who struggles to drink enough water. Having the right cup makes all the difference! We have gone through many, and so far we love these. They are leak proof with the LID CLOSED. Our toddler can open and close the lid. I measured the water almost all the way to the top (leaving room for the straw), and it was 12 Oz. We DO put ours in the dishwasher, all parts, and have had no problems. The cup is easy to clean and comes apart completely to clean and prevent mold. Our toddler drops them all the time, and no damage. They keep her water cool all day. The flow is great, no biting required and lots of liquid is easily pulled through. See pics. I wished these details and pics were available when I ordered. Just posting hoping it helps others!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I have twins and wanted to order pink and purple thermos. I thought I was going crazy because the blue came but it has a hint of violet so I wasnt completely sure. I ordered violet again and once again another blue came I’m stubborn and determined so I ordered it one last time and the purple finally came.\n\nThe handles are different on the same listing ..I like the bigger handle, I think it’s easier for toddlers to hold however the purple only comes in the small handle and the pink one is advertised with a large handle but when I got it it was small.\n\nIt’s not 100% leak proof when you flip it over completely it does leak however if they put it on the floor sideways it doesn’t leak out. It also does not leak when the top is snapped on.\n\nOverall I do like it but with some modifications, and wish it didn’t take 3 times to get the right color. (I read this happened in other reviews as well)'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Purchased these in preparation for my kids going back to school this fall. Decided to switch to these since they keep the straw covered (safe from germs) while sitting out on their desks and do not require them to touch the straw/spout to open it like other water bottles we’ve had in the past. My youngest is 3 and he has no problem opening and closing the top independently. No leaking issues yet and cleaning is the same as all of these types of water bottles—not the easiest thing but that comes with the spill proof territory! They also fit inch bug bands nicely!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "This is an awesome thermos. My daughter is 5 and i use them for her lunch bag. I add milk or juice and let it chill overnight in the fridge. Put it into her lunch bag next morning and good to go all day!! Stays super cold and easy for her to operate. 100% leak proof. I saw somebody say mold issues? None here...i think maybe they just don't take time to clean it properly. It's super easy to dissasemble and put back together. I ordered a few replacement straws just in case but have not had to use them yet. So far so good and it's great!! Perfect size for a small pre k lunch bag or a trip to the park etc..."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This is my second bottle.\nMy daughter picked this color.\nShe said mommy I want the purple and pink color.\nI saw reviews that said it’s blue.. so I hoped it is purple, and it’s amazing pastel purple.\nI posted 2 pictures for you to see that it is obviously purple if someone can’t decide and not sure how the color looks in reality since the other reviews said it’s blue.\nholds Coldwater really good and even slightly cooled tea (warm) for the whole day.\nLeakproof while lid closed.\nIt’s obviously a bottle for kids that can close the lid by themselves or you will need to supervise that the lid closes after drinking.\nHope it helps anybody :)'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'LOVE this cup!! My son is going into second grade with this cup and I bought it for him before he began kindergarten!! It’s still in perfect condition!! It goes to school with him every single day in his lunch box. It doesn’t leak! I have never put anything but water in it and I clean it every day. I just bought a second one for my younger son who is starting kindergarten in August. I have only bought the solid colors and the color has not chipped or rubbed off at all. I do not put these in the dishwasher. I have heard that the ones with characters on them scratch off and chip up, but I don’t have first hand experience with that. I stick with the solid colors to keep it simple and so they won’t grow out of the character year after year.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'We purchased these as water containers for our kids at daycare. They hold up well, and the kids enjoy using them.\n\nThe way the parts break down makes cleaning convenient, all things considered. Although I use a dishwasher, the pieces should be relatively easy to clean with a sponge and straw-cleaning brush.\n\nThe lid locks itself shut, and has a push button release that the kids seems to enjoy.\n\nThe handle also makes it easy for them to carry if their hands are too small to fully grasp the container.\n\nI would buy this again. The quality of the product seems to be quite solid as well, as I would expect from the Thermos brand. I recommend!'}]
