I find this anti-China thing a bit frustrating to be honest. Almost everything is made in China, even some really good stuff. It's not where it's made that dictates the quality. There is pure crap made in the UK and US too and plenty of the world's biggest brands are manufactured in China. It's all about quality control, not nationality.

I got a hold of an identical Stanley vintage thermos (along with the laundry baskets I posted), but I was very disappointed with its heat holding efficiency. I have a Microsoft Teams thermos that I found at work that keeps my coffee hot all day, and it’s actually slightly warm two days later when I forget it.

The Teams thermos isn’t Yeti or anything, it’s just some knock off I think. It’s much smaller, but it’s about half the liquid volume but only a quarter of the thermos size.
