The Thermos® brand entered my life at an early age. I have fond memories of lunch time in elementary school – taking my Garfield Thermos® from my pastel purple lunchbox, pouring steaming soup into the integral cap. It was sheer genius. And yet, for some reason, the Thermos® vanished almost entirely from my radar screen for nearly two decades.
Nissan Thermos with tea infuser - $22.99
Several years ago, it returned with a vengeance. My mom, brilliant woman that she is, got me this guy for Christmas. At the time, I liked it. But I had absolutely no inkling of the love that would grow between me and my Thermos – the bond that would soon be forged.
That week, I took it for its first test drive. On a positively frigid winter day in Milwaukee, I left it in the car – full of tea but uncovered – for nearly two hours while I met a friend. Upon returning to the car, I found my tea still piping hot. It was love. Over the years, that love has solidified. I talk to anyone who will listen about my Nissan™ Thermos®. In all, my four-member family has five of these so far.
I can’t recommend these highly enough. Leak proof, sexy, BPA free, virtually unbreakable (though I haven’t tried to drive my car over it yet) – what is there not to love about it? The vacuum insulation ensures that, while your beverage stays piping hot (or ice cold), your hands will stay comfortable.
This particular Thermos® is officially rated to keep drinks hot for 6 hours/cold for 10 hours. Others, such as this one, have higher ratings. Your beverage will still be temperature-appropriate long past the rating, though. Over at this site (a hunting site, of all places), there’s a pretty good analysis of a Nissan Thermos, as well as other containers.
On top of all this, the company started an organization to help bring clean water to the millions of people who don’t currently have access.
I have to confess, though, I’m most excited about the Hannah Montana container.
