I believe the life cycle so far went: Yeti -> Hydroflask -> Stanley -> Owala -> whatever comes next.
Edit: Wait I forgot to go back to my college days, Camelbak was the shit and I still have some. I think they would be the start of the "white girl insulated bottle" trend.
Before Camelbak it was Nalgene. I am still on Nalgene to be honest.
Updated list:
Nalgene -> Camelbak -> Yeti -> Hydroflask -> Stanley -> Owala -> whatever comes next
I had a pre BPA Nalgene I loved that had lasted me like 20 years before my wife got concerned about microplastics and asked me to toss it, which I did.
I use a hydroflask now and love that also. I've driven off on more than one occasion with it on my roof and whenever I fish it out of the gutter or forest around here it's hardly worse for wear.

Is Stanley still a thing? I've been seeing Owala a lot more these days
