Today, March whatever, year: probably one of them after that one guy died, I went to get a new thermos. I live somewhere cold now so I have taken to carrying a thermos full of hot tea or similar. However my existing thermos is very large and heavy and holds way more liquid than I could reasonably drink on one outing. This is great for camping or day trips, but pretty bad for, for example, walking around taking pictures during a snow storm (ouch my back).
But! Not to worry, the company that made my current thermos had smaller sizes of the same design! So I'll just go and order a tiny little one for my personal walking around purposes, right? Wrong! They were discontinued and now go for $150 on amazon!! They were only $35 new!!!!! So now, instead of getting exactly what I already knew I wanted, I get to re-enter the research vortex and settle on something that only checks some of the boxes.
If anyone has any recommendations for a ZERO plastic (yes even the cap, my current one has a silicon gasket for a metal cap) metal thermos in the 500ml/16floz range I am on my knees
The one I wanted is apparently still in stock in
The UK, but they won't ship it to the states
What about you, has something you adored ever been unceremoniously discontinued, leaving you frustrated and adrift? Rant about it here, swap alternatives and bask in our collective misery(mild inconvenience).
