Hydro Flask’s main competition is a similar company called Klean Kanteen. Klean Kanteen, exactly like Hydro Flask, provides a durable, double wall vacuum sealed flask that can keep liquids both hot and cold for multiple hours. When compared side by side, Hydro Flask clearly beats out Klean Kanteen in both durability and leakage. Hydro Flask’s lids screw on easier and tighter than Klean Kanteen’s, ensuring a more effective seal.

    Isabel Johnson’s article “Bottled Water, Go Away” brings up a different perspective to an ongoing debate over the impacts of plastic water bottles on the world. She presents both the pros and cons of bottled water. Her reasons, however, do not provide a strong argument since she does not clearly support a single claim. Nonetheless, the reasoning behind her logic is supported using information obtained from research. Her credibility is built, but at the same time lost, from using these resources because they are not suitable to cite.…

    PowerAde and Gatorade Ad Analysis and conclusion Since the inception of advertisements, companies have tried to differentiate themselves from similar products. Many things can be used to contrast their product compared to other products, including picture contrast, positive appeals to ethos, pathos and logo’s, and image-text placement. I decided to do my rhetorical analysis on two images in a very similar market, a Gatorade advertisement, and a PowerAde advertisement. Through my evaluation of each image I will evaluate which image is most effective in my opinion.…

    I am writing in regards to a request that I analyze rhetoric used in Isabel Johnson’s article “Bottled water, go away” and whether this article should be published in the student newspaper, The Shorthorn. This article is an interesting read, especially for students that consume a lot of bottled water, and strongly discusses both sides of the argument very well throughout. It’s easy to agree that bottled water is convenient in most cases, but at the same time it can be harmful to the environment when people don’t dispose of the empty bottles in the preferred manner, which is recycling. The author uses appeals to emotion when talking about how important bottled water can be in times of natural disaster and drastic need, but also appeals to logic…

    On average, thirsty customers in the U.S. throw away sixty million water bottles a day, and for every five water bottles consumed, one is recycled. The length of time for plastic water bottles to decompose is between four hundred and one thousand years. People may choose to drink bottled water over tap water with the misconception that it is the cleaner, tastier, or even a healthier choice. The rate at which people are consuming bottled water is causing landfills to be filled with approximately seventy-five percent of the plastic water bottles that are made. While bottled water sales increase, the consumption of tap water is the most advantageous choice for health benefits, environment conservation, and affordability as a choice for the consumer.…

He stepped us through the history of water into modern culture and then went to a modern water bottling plant to receive a first-hand experience on how the bottles are made and how water is dispensed. I can tell his process for finding his information was well thought out, and he developed and a meticulous process and that he has published books before. I did enjoy the book I choose it because bottled water intrigues me as people deem their taps unacceptable to our modern, sophisticated palette that I think is ridiculous. I have to say that it is a way for corporations to gain a larger share of an emerging market.…
