THERMOS FUNTAINER Minecraft Kids Water Bottle 16 Oz

Overview

Thermos built the FUNTAINER as a 16 ounce kids bottle with a spout that stays covered by a push-button lid until a child presses it open. This Minecraft-print version is stainless steel inside, rated to keep drinks cold for up to 12 hours, and sized to fit standard cup holders and backpack side pockets.

The push-button lid is doing double duty: it covers the spout for hygiene between uses and gives a young child a simple one-press action instead of a twist cap. Thermos, a brand dating to 1904, builds the bottle from 18/8 stainless steel and frames it as a reusable alternative to single-use plastic bottles for school lunches.

• 16 oz stainless steel capacity
• Cold retention up to 12 hours
• Push-button covered spout
• Built-in carry handle

Who it's for

Suited to a child old enough to manage a push-button spout on their own for school or activities. Not sized for an adult's daily water needs at only 16 ounces, and not built to carry hot beverages.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Vacuum insulation between the steel walls is what carries the 12 hour cold claim, and the sealed, covered spout is the detail Thermos points to for keeping the drinking surface clean between uses in a backpack. The carry handle is built into the lid assembly rather than added on, which keeps the bottle simple for a child to grab.
