Review on Aquatix Insulated FlipTop Sport Bottle Kitchen & Dining by Marco Carpenter

Purchased in 2016. The paint on the outside is completely scratched. The bottle itself keeps my water ice cold. Love it. But as you can see in the picture, black dots appeared on the top rubber pad. I washed with soap, soaked in a bleach solution, but the blackness does not go away. It's only recently started, but I get nervous drinking from a bottle. I don't know if it's mold or what. The bottle works great but looks ugly. The paint started peeling off very early. I was ready to deal with it. But now that this black thing is out, I need to replace it. I will not buy this bottle again.
