Bubba Classic Insulated Mug, 52 oz., Black

FIRST IMPRESSION: This is HUGE, and I love it!GENERAL COMMENTS:When full, it's pretty heavy, but it's just what I need. I always put a little ice in there and it keeps my drinks REALLY cold for the few hours that I use it. I'm a fast drinker, so I don't know how well it works for longer periods of time. It also seems exceptionally well-made.LID POSITION:Until I figured out exactly how to place the lid, it kept screwing on in an off-center position for me. Yikes! With some patience, I was finally able to get it seated properly, and on the way discovered that it's a dual-handed mug!DUAL-HANDED:Interestingly, this is made to be used left-handed or right-handed, which is terrific. Making the switch is really easy. Here's how. The lid takes a 180-degree turn to lock it into place. If you are other handed, just place the lid to point the opening in the opposite direction of where you want it and turn it 180-degees. Bingo!LID REMOVAL (easy):I also found that it's easier to remove the lid than many reviews indicate. It's actually a great setup for people like me with smaller or arthritic hands. Here's the trick. When you put the lid on, twist it just tight enough so it doesn't leak. If you twist it super tight, it may be hard, if not impossible, for you to get off. Having twisted it just tight enough, when you're ready to remove the lid, open up the top sipper stopper piece and push it all the way back so it locks into place on the other side. Using the side edge of that locked in piece, fairly gently (not too hard!) push and/or pull sideways on it.Note # 1 :: I'm pretty sure that's what the sipper stopper piece was designed for and why it's so solid. This technique should work for anybody who's even giving it a regular twist on, IF they fully lock the piece in place before trying it and/or push/pull so hard on it that the piece immediately or eventually cracks and breaks off.Note # 2 :: Because I'm not twisting the lid on tighter that simply to get it not to leak, the sipping/straw hole locates slightly off center, but only by a very little bit, maybe 1 or 2 degrees.STRAW:Speaking of straws, the sipping hole is too small to fit the larger straws that came with my other Bubba mugs. If I hadn't happened to have a few thinner hard-plastic straws on hand that were long enough, I would have ordered thinner ones from amazon or gotten the soft silicone straws that would conform to the weird shape of the sipping/straw hole.

I've had several of these, and keep buying them because it's pretty much the best thing going. In drops and falls I've managed to break a handle and crack a lid. I don't think it's fragile; I'm just hard on my stuff due to my outside work environment. It also has a weep hole on the top, which is important for hot liquids or sodas, so as to let pressure out. Because of this it will leak if tipped over on it's side. But if you grab it after it tips, spills are minimal. If you leave it turned over on your seat for an hour, yeah, it will all leak out. Still, for the price, it's the best thing going when you move it in and out of a car or truck. I put in cold water and ice in the morning, and it will generally stay icy til about noon, even on a hot day. Coffee stays reasonably hot for a decent amount of time too. As for the bottle opener, eh... it's a gimmick. I've never needed it. Overall I'd say that as a travel cup, it can't be beat. I'm super impressed with it, especially for the price.
