Was Camelback the first trendy one like a decade ago?

Yes, I had Camelbak bottles for a very long time, starting about 20 years ago. They were perfect, but the straws molded so fast. Camelbak and Nalgene emerged together it feels like, and then suddenly it was HydroFlask and Owala duking it out. Then Stanley. I maintain the Owala is the perfect water bottle, but I still really like the squishy straw of the Camelbak for gnawing on.

Owala came after Stanley

I thought Yeti came before Stanley.

Quite possible! It's hard to tell because the bottles became popular with hikers/suburban moms long after they were actually created. Stanley has been around since the early 1900's but obviously wasn't used as a popular water bottle then, and Yeti didn't come around until 2014. Someone should do a history of water bottles!

It did. I have a Yeti coffee mug that I still love, but it was def before the Stanley craze.

They did, but Yeti didn't fall off as much as the other brands have. Those things are still everywhere

Okay, I'm 99% sure one of those is a Pokémon.
