as someone who reuses this bottle of water I can say the handles were actually very good and made it easier to drink without crushing the bottle.

I used one of these for my water jug at work(tree care) the tape handle actually lasted longer than i expected. Then i just tied a piece of rope around the neck when it finally fell off. I got a couple good years out of that bottle. Durable for a throwaway

Yeah a lot of people at the gym use it because you can drink quickly from it with squeezing it too hard and making a mess.

Used them to make gravity bongs for like a year and that handle was a life saver.

You drink out of a gallon jug like king kong? Put a piece of tape on it... Or pour it into one of your old jugs that u have saved?

I care about the plastic. Get an insulated 64 oz bottle or a reusable 128 oz plastic bottle.

I have reusable bottles already and a hydroflask. Sometimes you just run out and you end up having to go to the store. When I do buy these bottles I try to reuse them as much as possible. Even after they're not good to use for drinking water I use them for "shake up water" at work for my cement.

You’re saying a lot for someone pretending to care so little.

It’s even weirder that you confuse me for someone else. Good luck in the world. Sounds like you need it.

Why are you being downvoted? You are agreeing with the general consensus of "they need to drink a lot of water"

No I just work construction and don't like wasting plastic with 1000 little bottles

As someone with a disability that ‘piece of tape’ makes THE WORLD of a difference EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

I am beginning to think some companies are using this "supply chain" excuse just so they can cheap out even more. My box of cookie bars that used to hold 10 bars only had 8 and empty space where 2 more could fit. Sheesh. I guess the supply chain shorted them 2 cookies? /s

It is an excuse. I only buy the handled water bottles. I didn't see the Glacier bottles with the handles at the store so I had to buy another brand that had plastic handles. I don't like those one's as much as the old glacier handle. There are not many brands that have the handle and I won't support the brands that don't.

The supplier of that “piece of tape as a handle” is serious /r/onejob candidate of the year

Cutting trees, cruising, getting buff, ripping hits...people really figured out how to use that dang handle!

Ahaha yea the Crystal Geyser water has cheap taped on paper “handle” sometimes they just fall off too in the middle of a pour.

Once in a great while they are a little defective and don't stick as good but if you pay attention in the store before you buy them, you can get one that doesn't have that defect.

The tape they used was way stronger than typical tape. It lasted a long time and it was at the perfect angle to pick it up and take the top off to drink.

I saw this how they don't have handles anymore so I bought the one's that STILL use a plastic handle.
