How do I stop losing water bottles?

20M, college student. They seem to have a three to six month limit. Metal, plastic, medium priced, super cheap- all gone. I'm at my wit's end here. I check all my usual places, but I don't see them. There's no "lost and found" on campus and nobody is particularly bothered to get a stray water bottle back to its owner.

Store brand and Nestle

I have learned that many store brand items are actually manufactured by the same big brands. How do I know that I'm not actually buying something that's just Nestle dressed in different clothes?

Self-control for sweets

TLDR; I made fudge the other day, had a few pieces, and now I want ALL THE PIECES. Help.

I have severe nut allergies so finding sweets and desserts (especially chocolate) that I can eat isn't always easy, so I make a lot of mine. I had a half eaten open can of condensed milk because I had a can of condensed milk for some reason and was devouring it on white bread.

The special nut free chocolate chips that I use were on sale today, and I figured that making fudge would be a better use of condensed milk instead. Groceries, especially special nut free chocolate chips, are not cheap, mind you. But I have this problem of wanting to utterly destroy any sweet that I can eat, even though my brain knows that it is good to eat in moderation and save it for later lest I get mega acne for binging it all at once. I've also been in a weird super hungry mood for the past few days, and usually I have a pretty low appetite.

To be honest, I have a pretty big self-control problem and impulsivity in general. Like a few minutes of mindless internet surfing turns into a few hours, doing things that are stupid in hindsight, one-off bad purchases, putting off doing homework and taxes for shiny interesting thing, etc. But I have some methods to manage those things.

I don't eat or make chocolatey, sugary food every day, but when I do have it around, I would like to enjoy it a little longer. Please send hacks/advice to help me eat my fudge in a more reasonable manner.
