Kept my drinks hot on cold tailgating mornings. And by drinks I mean hot chocolate and peppermint schnapps.
And more recently kept my sweet tea and water, ice cold in the Florida heat (once I finally washed out the mint taste)
This morning I filled it with ice and water and headed to the pool like a normal Sunday. Not knowing it would be the last time I would use my thermos.
<pause for dramatic effect>
I should have saw it coming. I put in too much ice for the amount of water I used, and there was a huge ice chunk, so I turned it upside down and heard the fatal crash of breaking glass. And I knew it was over.
The lid has a sticker on it that says you should read the care and use instructions...apparently I never did. I suppose it's my fault it broke, all the care instructions were pointing to me failing.
