A water bottle must be something special to merit a hashtag (#owala) that’s been viewed 272 million times on TikTok—not to mention a resale value of roughly $400 for limited editions. Trove Brands’ stainless-steel Owala FreeSip is leakproof and offers two drinking methods—a straw and a larger opening for guzzling that conforms to the shape of the user’s mouth.
