WHAT A BRIGHT IDEA!
I LOVE CUTE PACKAGING!
So as soon as I saw on Instagram that Snow Monster has finally released their light bulb bottles I was super excited! They have been mentioning it ever since the beginning of 2016 and I have been waiting! Of course, now they seem like they ain`t the first ones because while they were being slow-pokes getting it all ready to be rolled out, this light bulb bottle has been seen at Chomp Eater in Santa Monica and at the night markets by the Squidies booth. There are many more stores now that serve drinks in a light bulb bottle so it's nothing too special anymore nowadays....
But! Snow Monster tends to set themselves apart from all the other competition by somehow making their bottles...better in a sense. Review below!
BOTTLE + DRINK REVIEW
Strawberry Matcha:
- This drink keeps going downhill for me.
- At first it was ehh.
- Second time it was super good!
- 3rd time (this time) it was such a strange color that looked so nasty I felt like I lost my appetite.
- I'll probably just stick with the Jasmine or Thai Tea (but why so much sugar!)
Strawberry Lemonade:
- Refreshing but sour
- I do like how there are real strawberries in there but they are all very mushy
Light Bulb Bottle:
- very hard to hold. If you hold the top part (neck?) when the drink is still cold the condensation will make the bottle slippery and it might slip out of your hand. BE CAREFUL!
- the bottle itself is very heavy. So it's quite annoying how you have to be careful because if you drop it on your feet...oh no...
- this bottle is so so so much bigger than the ones served at the night markets (i.e. 626 night market / oc night market)
- I would say it's probably almost twice the size? because it's just so freakin big! That means you'll get more drink!
- This Snow Monster bottle actually has an enclosed lid! The bottle from Squidies does not actually close up. The "screw on" lid part has a hole for the straw. But there is no way for you to close-up the hole
- When drinking, you have to take the lid off, because...there is no hole through the lid for the straw like the Squidies bottle.
- The bottle has the Snow Monster logo on it! It's not a sticker!
- Would probably be perfect to put some flowers in.
PRICING
Damn! Nice packaging is expensive!
- Strawberry Matcha Drink: $4.50
- Strawberry Lemonade: $4
- Light Bulb Bottle: extra $3
- Total: $14.50
Is it worth? YASS! These botltes are so unique! But maybe just get it once...because it's a bit expesnive...
Here is a photo of the Squidies bottle (seen at the night markets) for comparison. Read my recap of the OC Night market here.
