In 2010, Yeti’s Rambler water bottle grew in popularity until 2020 when the Hydro Flask became the household water bottle. Last year Stanley’s ‘The Quencher’ became infamous online and all over schools. The craze of Stanleys was so big they were fought over in Target. So the question is, what water bottle is taking over 2024? Answer: The Owala. 

What makes this water bottle special and favorable around the world? Is it its range of colors? Or maybe its ability to keep your water cold all day? While those are very important aspects of the water bottle, that is not the main reason. The reason for the popularity is the game-changing lid. The Owala’s lid has the ability to be sipped and chugged all in one! The popular lid allows for students and workers to sip throughout the day and for athletes to chug while playing and practicing. The water bottle also has a lock cover that is unlocked by a button for easy access and a handle for holding it on the go. A fun attribute to the lid is the appearance of a koala nose when you sip or chug out from the water bottle due to the stacked handle and cover.

As mentioned before, Owalas have a variety of colors. On their website, they have 90+ colors available for their items, including limited editions. They have water bottle colors varying from all-black to a hot pink water bottle named ‘Can You See Me?’ Their diversity and wide variety of colors make it so anyone can enjoy one of their color combinations. The Owala is also known for its color combinations to be exotic and out there. One water bottle named ‘Make Waves!’ has a bright teal, orange, baby pink, and neon yellow combination which isn’t a popular and liked color scheme. The interesting combination causes people to switch lids with other Owala water bottle lids in stores. The switching frenzy outraged a large part of the internet and those who disagreed criticized the ones who chose to do so. Despite the outlash and judgment of others, people continue to switch lids and enjoy their mismatched Owalas.

Additionally, The Owala brand has many sizes and types of water bottles for both kids and adults alike.

In the past year Owala’s sales have doubled, showing wide success in their company. It is clear that Owalas have been crowned the water bottle of the year with their publicity growing all over social media, workplaces and schools.
