I see a lot of posts chronicling the decline of products in general, and I completely agree - most stuff sold nowadays is complete crap. However, once in a while, you find a gem. Post yours in this thread so we can all know what might be worth the price (or more).
Let's keep it limited to stuff that is still in production, so others can partake if they are in the market for that particular item. I'll start.
I bought one of these at Fred Meyer about a year and a half ago. I've used it almost everyday. You can turn it upside down with the lid closed and it won't leak. I even dropped it, full of coffee, had it land right on the edge of the lid and asphalt, and it did not leak a drop. I've since bought one for my Mom and a second one for myself. It keeps coffee hot for 5 hours plus. If I boil extra water in the kettle, pour some in the mug while my coffee steeps, and then fill it with hot coffee, it'll stay hot for 7 hours or more. $20 not on sale at Fred Meyer, $15 on sale occasionally, amd about that on Amazon. I wish they made a bigger one, this one is 18oz. My only real complaint is that it's made in China.
