the little disappointments

I just bought a new package of Spring! water bottles. I don’t know the name of the last brand (or off-brand) I bought. But having a package of water bottles really helps me drink more water, however pointless it seems to buy water. I put a couple in the fridge, the rest in the pantry, and grab one on my way to work or whenever I’m doing errands, workouts, etc. Since at work we have the typical water cooler thing, I’ll just use that to fill up my bottle while at work.

Now when I bought this new package of water bottles and opened and held the bottle, I was actually pretty satisfied. Haha, lame I know, but the bottle had a nice feel to it, seemed better than the last bottles I had, and I knew I would enjoy drinking from it. But today at work, I’ve noticed something terrible. The one area that I loooooved about my last water bottles completely failed with these new Spring! ones. You see, when I fill up the bottle at work, the old bottles were short enough that I could completely rest them on the base/drain area of the cooler and simply hold down the knob thingy without having to hold the bottle there myself or bend forward blocking the entire hallway. But I just filled up my new water bottle….and it’s too tall! I will have to hold it under the dispenser myself. I’m disappointed, despite my initial feelings towards the bottle. I guess we will have to wait and see until this package runs outs to find out what I decide I value most.
