I've got two Sandisks (both 64GB but different models) that have both been through the washing machine multiple times (accidentally) and haven't failed yet. They are probably about 3 years old at this point but I can't remember.

This makes me want to buy a sandisk

Yeah, the new standard Sandisk Ultra are really good. I can't comment on the other variants, but the Ultras are really fast, cheap, and reliable in my experience

Another comment in favour of sandisk, I was gifted a (at the time) big 8GB usb3.0 pen years ago, it has been on my keychain for basically all the time, with enoyghnspace for a live USB and separate space to store stuff.

I also have a 128GB SanDisk that I bought quite a few years ago for a decent chuni if money for a flash drive, has been through the washing machine twice and still works. It fits a lot of ISOs for Ventoy to use
