    Oh man I have two of those and the other day I took a sip of chunky coffee because it was the week old one that I forgot about.

    If you have any sugar in your drink (including: milk, fruit tea) you need to rinse it out daily or you will get a rotten stank/flavor that doesn’t seem to wash out.

    To get rid of it, you just need to remove any seals and soak everything in warm water with a little denture cleaner or oxi-clean. I usually just put the gaskets inside the cup with a little cleaner, set the lid on, and fill it until it just starts to overflow. This will also remove any tea/coffee stains and you can use those to gauge whether it has soaked long enough.

    If a smell doesn't wash out of your glasses and cups it means they're either made of semiporous materials and you need new ones before you're poisoned or there's crevices with rotting debris in them... And you need to clean them out before you're poisoned.

    Yeah, I typically hate brand name stuff, but 100% of my knockoff tumblers and bottles have had their vacuum fail in under a year while my free yeti has been going strong for 5 years.

    I actually have to add cold water or ice to be able to drinking it within 2 hours.

    Don't wash the knockoffs in a dishwasher, the cheaper seals can't handle the expansion and contraction. If you're not willing to hand wash you need to buy quality which isn't necessarily Yeti but you'll need to do research.

    That's basically my point. If your vacuum sealed tumbler says it's dishwasher safe, the seal failing is on the manufacturer.

    But several of mine were too big to fit in the dishwasher. I have a 3L and a 4L that both crapped out after about 6 months of daily use.
