Stainless Steel Tumbler Cup

I received the 16 oz Stainless Steel Tumbler Cup through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Thick walled 
• Durable walls for hot or cold drinks
• Safely rounded end on straw
• Screw on lid seals tight

The 16 oz Stainless Steel Tumbler Cup works well for either hot or cold drinks. The tumbler cup will keep hot drinks, such as hot chocolate, at hot or warm temperature depending on how long it's been in the cup and what temp you had it at. 

It keeps cold drinks cold. It won't keep cold drinks cold all day, but it will for at least an hour or two. Condensation does get on the outside of the cup, but it isn't too much where it makes it difficult to the hold the cup.

The stainless steel cup is easy to wash using soap and water. 

 The lid seals on very tight. There is a clear, rubber seal on the outer ring of the lid that helps keep the cup from spilling or leaking. It's made to keep from spilling. Although, if the cup is tipped upside down, with or without the straw in it, liquid can get out of that hole for the straw or out of the straw itself.

If the cup is knocked over onto it's side, usually, liquid does not come out of the tumbler cup. The seal on the lid protects it from leaking.

The lid does take effort to try to get it off with how tight it seals.

If you're putting on the lid, make sure you hear it do a "pop" type sound when you press it down. The sound is made with the lid is completed sealed onto the cup.

The straw has a little notice on the that's on one of the sides of the straw. This notice is there to be on the inside of the cup. It keeps the straw from getting pulled out of the cup or falling out.

The steel straw is rounded for safety reasons. It helps keep anyone from getting cut by the straw. The straw could still harm someone if they accidentally knock it on their tooth very hard, like while driving or walking.

Other than that, the only issue I have with this tumbler cup is that the straw makes an awful sound when it touches the bottom of the tumbler cup. I don't like the scratching sound.

Pros:

- Keeps hot drinks hot

- Keeps cold drinks cold

- Durable

- Lid seals on tight

Cons:

- Scratching noise when the straw rubs or touches the tumbler cup

- Steel straw could damage a tooth (if one is not careful)

Silicone Beverage Glasses

I received the Silicone Beverage Glasses through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Unbreakable 
• Freezable 
• Made with 100% food grade non-stick silicone 
• BPA-free
• Microwave, oven, dishwasher, and freezer safe
• Wash by hand or in dishwasher 
• 11 oz. 

When I received this product, the first thing I noticed was the silicone smell. It was really strong. 

I washed them hoping the smell would fade, which did help. The wide opening made it easy to get inside the cup to wash it. Unfortunately, there was a lot of water stains on them after they dried. It was very difficult to get them off. 

If the glasses dropped, they picked up dirt and dust very easily. They got dirty quickly. They're not a glass I would use outside due to how quickly they get dirty. 

The cup is easy to hold and is flexible. I put hot chocolate in the cups a few times. It didn't burn or melt the classes. It didn't really feel that hot either to hold. It was just warm, which feels great during the cold weather. 

I also like that they don't shatter or leak. If you squeeze them too tightly, the liquid can come out through the opening on top.

"What Night?" Funny Wine Glass

I received the "What Night?" Funny Wine Glass through a promotion? 

Product Info:

• USA made
• Made with Libbey glassware
• Easy to read text
• Dishwasher safe
• Can hold 12.75 oz. of wine
• Well packaged

First thing I noticed when I received this product was that it was well packaged. I've received glassware products before that were broken and shattered due to lack of packaging. This one was packaged very well! You could tell the company cares about their product. It was wrapped within 3 or 4 sheets of bubble wrap, then in a box, then wrapping with amazon air packing, and in an amazon box. I was pleased with how well it was packaged.

I had thought when I first got approved and ordered this product that the glass would be thin, breakable, and cheap. I am extremely pleased to be wrong. The glass is nice and thick. It's very well made. There is a slight wobble at the bottom when the glass is sitting down and empty, but it's not a big enough wobble to become a problem or cause any issues. 

I love the saying on the wine glass. It's cute. I love the line marking the best though, which is with the sayings. I don't like alcohol straight, even wine. I usually mix mine with soda to give a different flavor, less bitter. I use the line markings to measure how much alcohol (wine or flavored vodka) with the "Good Night" marking. I then add soda until it reaches the "What Night" marking. It makes the perfect mix for me. 

This came in handy on the nights class work (homework) was driving me nuts. 

The wine glass is also very easy to wash. The glass is dishwasher safe. The lettering/markings don't come off in the dishwasher with the number of times I've used it. It also is easy to wash in the sink due to the wide opening at the top.

This has become my favorite wine glass to use.

Stemless Wine Glasses

I received the BPA Free Stemless Wine Glasses through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Pack of 4
• Shatterproof Glasses (plastic) 
• 16oz
• BPA free
• Dishwasher safe

These Taza plastic wine glasses work great for outdoor usage. There's no need to worry about glasses getting broken if knocked over. Since these glasses are plastic, they are shatterproof. 

I was expecting the glasses to be heavier or thicker, but they're a nice light-weight glass that's easy to pickup and hold. 

These glasses are not my favorite to use indoors. I prefer normal wine glasses for that, especially for family gatherings.

I do enjoy these glasses for outdoor use, especially near a pool, camping, grilling, etc. 

My favorite thing about these glasses are that they're dishwasher safe.

Eco at Heart Stainless Steel Straws

Eco at Heart Stainless Steel Drinking Straws

I got these stainless steel straws as a promotional item on Tomoson. 

I have never used a stainless steel straw before I got these. I’ve only used plastic that you can keep and wash or the ones you throw away.

These straws have a good size opening, so they’re great with smoothies. Only thing is they can get really cold after awhile. In the summer time or on a hot day, it’s perfect. You can even store these straws in the freezer to keep drinks nice and cool when you drink them through the straws. Sounded weird to me when I first read that on the promotion site. I tried it, and it really works. 

Do not drink hot drinks through these straws. You could end up burning your mouth or lips. 

I love that these straws come with a little, adorable cleaning brush. It’s made to fit these straws, so you can easily clean the inside of these straws compared to some of those twisty, fun plastic ones. 

I also like that these straws are dishwasher safe, but it’s just as easy and quick to wash them by hand. 

I just wish that there was some bend to these straws to make it easier to drink out of, but then storing the straws and cleaning them would be harder.
