His cheap plastic spoons and gas station water bottle tips are absolutely not something I think are good ideas.
Gatorade and cheap water bottle caps easily come loose, spilling all your water out. That normally isn't a huge deal until you're a thousand vertical feet above your nearest water source. Nalgenes are heavier no doubt, but their durability makes up for it, for me at least.
Never broke a plastic spoon? Hell I have broke several of the heavier duty plastic ones, let alone the cheaper bulk pack spoons.
Maybe I am just rough on stuff.
