52 Worn-Out Items That Have Clearly Been Used to the Max

Reusable water bottles are meant to be used for years and years. This person took that idea to heart. Instead of swapping out one reusable water bottle for another, more trendier product, they stuck with the same Nalgene water bottle for 20 years. The bottle on the left is their original trusty water bottle. The one on the right is the replacement the company sent when the original one broke. 

You can see how wild the difference is! This is what 20 years of regular use will do to a reusable water bottle. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. Our storyteller shared that this water bottle survived multiple hikes, adventures, and international travels. It finally cracked when it fell out of our storyteller’s car. Thankfully, Nalgene sent a replacement. Here’s to 20 more years with this new bottle!
