The EPIC Water Bottle Race (Nalgene vs Yeti vs Hydro Flask vs Stanley vs Owala)

Which water bottles have been the most popular over the last 20 years? How did trends change over time? BPAs vs Nalgene. Hydro Flask vs YETI. Stanley's rise to the top. And what's next? (Owala?)

The data set includes relative search results in the USA from 2004 - 2024 according to Google Trends. I made some adjustments to the best of my ability, like reducing the spike for "Stanley" during the Stanley Cup. 100 is the highest possible number for a brand during one month, which indicates the highest search volume from the data set. All other search volumes are relative to that number.
