Reusable Water Bottles
We Americans drink a lot of water.
More than $2 billion in reusable water bottles were sold in the US in 2022 (Printable only sold $millions imprinted with logos) π.
This $2 billion number is up from $1.5 billion in 2020 according to Greg Williamson of CamelBak.

Sales of single-serving bottles (like the ones pictured at Costco Wholesale) have been rising steadily too, reaching 11.3 billion gallons in 2022 according to Beverage Marketing Association.
βIn other words, consumers are spending billions of dollars a year on reusable water bottles to stay hydrated and then buying bottled water anyway, even as the faucet remains free." -The New York Times
