Collapsible Water Bottle Fits Everywhere

Posted on by

hydaway-4

Paying for bottled water is not only financially wasteful, it’s a bit of a dick move for the environment. The Hydaway is a collapsible, reusable silicone bottle with a plastic framing that expands into a 21oz. or 12oz. container in a couple of seconds. When collapsed it’s only 1 1/4 inch thick, and has a convenient carry handle that can be clipped to a bag. It’s watertight, BPA-free, and fully dishwasher safe. If you want your own, it’ll only cost you a $20 pledge on their fully-funded Kickstarter, and you can expect to get it in August of this year.

Superhero Bottle Koozies to the Rescue!

Posted on by

While most superheroes have more important things than to keep your drink bottles in check, these ones are at the ready to do just that.

superhero_bottle_koozieszoom in

These DC Comics “Freaker” Bottle Sleeves are designed to keep your bottled beverages cool, and your palm from getting all wet with bottle sweat, plus they look cool at the same time. Like true superheroes, their skin-tight costumes also conceal the true identity of whatever drink you’re swigging.

You can grab them in Batman, Superman or Wonder Woman versions for $11.99(USD) each, or for $29.99 for the set of three at the Foodiggity Shop, which has all sorts of fun food-related swag for sale.

Get’Em Hooked Early: Beer Bottle-Shaped Baby Bottle

Posted on by

baby-beer-bottle

Just imagine the horrified looks you’ll get when people see your toddler chugging from his ‘Chill, Baby – Lil’Lager Baby Bottle’. It’s not an actual beer bottle, in case you’re not getting it. It’s just a BPA-free, phthalate-free plastic bottle with a food-grade silicone nipple that you fill with baby formula. It’s funny, but you better hope that the people that see your child drinking from it share your sense of humour, or you might be getting a surprise visit from Child Services. If you’re confident you can get away with it, you can pre-order the thing for $12.

Nuka-Cola Soda Bottles Glow in the Dark

Posted on by

Fans of the Fallout series will immediately recognize these bottles of Nuka-Cola’s glowing sodas, including Victory, Fusion Cola, Quantum and Quartz. In Fallout 3, the drinks have a variety of effects on your health and abilities, while these ones just glow.

Made by Etsy seller M.E.M. Props, each of these bottles is loaded with a phosphorescent fluid which charges up when placed in the light for 20 to 30 minutes. Sadly, you can’t drink the liquid inside, but that would be cool if the guys at Coke or Pepsi would come up with a glow-in-the-dark soda.

You can grab a bottle of glowing soda for $35(USD), or a set of four for $120 over on M.E.M. Props’ Etsy shop. If you want to take a shot at making your own light-up Nuka-Cola Quantum, there’s a DIY version on Instructables, but it uses an LED for illumination – which is cheating if you ask me. On the other hand, you can actually drink the Instructables recipe. On the flip side, you can’t get rot your teeth with or get addicted to the glowing version.

BluFit Connected Water Bottle: A Solution For A Problem That Doesn’t Exist?

Posted on by

blufit

You’re thirsty, you drink. It’s simple, right? Well, that’s how we see it anyway. But it turns out that staying properly hydrated can be a little more complex. For one, once you’re thirsty, it’s a sign you’ve probably already waited a bit too long and your body has fallen to suboptimal hydration levels. The BluFit bottle aims to help you stay full of water at all times, even if you’re too distracted to notice you’ve turned into human jerky. A sensor in the cap keeps track of how much water is dispensed, and an app informs you of your drinking habits. If the time comes for you to have a swig (based on your previously entered age, gender and other details), lights on the outside of the bottle will go off, as well as send notifications to your phone.

There are lots of other things the bottle does, like provide you with metrics of your drinking habits. We’re not entirely convinced this is a necessary product, but we suppose that some people could be a little lackadaisical in their hydration routines. If you want your own BluFit, you’re going to have to pledge $49 towards its Indiegogo campaign.

Message in a Bottle: USB Bottle Drive

Posted on by

usb bottle drive Message in a Bottle: USB Bottle Drive
It’s just like putting a message in a bottle, except it’s a message file. This USB Bottle Drive is a flash drive in a removable cork. It would be pretty pointless if it wasn’t removable- break glass in case of emergency I guess.

Now I suppose you could put some liquid in the bottle or use the cork on a wine bottle but that would probably ruin the flash drive if it’s not kept upright. I can’t find any studies on the effects of wine on a USB flash drive but instinct tells me it would be catastrophic (ruining both the drive and *gasp* the wine). It reminds me of that great song by The Police- you know, “So Lonely”. Love that one.

Kangaroo Bottle Carries Your Essentials For You

Posted on by

Whether it’s cycling, jogging, pumping iron at the gym or even going on a hike, there’s always the issue of what to do with your personal effects. Sure, you can leave them in the car, but what if you need them on the road? Put them in a pocket and have them rattle around during your activity? Sure, there are plenty of ways of dealing with this, but the Kangaroo bottle is one of the more elegant ones in our opinion. It’s a 24 oz. water bottle with a flip-up compartment for storing your cards, keys or even some cash.

There’s even a convenient flip-up handle with a carabiner to clip to your gym bag or backpack. Best of all, it’s pretty cheap at $13.

RPG7 PET Bottle Launcher Looks Awesome

Posted on by

We’re sorely lacking in details on this product because the website is Japanese and all the text is in an image, making it almost impossible to use Google Translate. We do think we know this much: it’s a toy designed to launch water bottles as if they were rocket propelled grenades. They are… water propelled bottles? With a 35º angle, you can launch a 600cc bottle up to 35meters away. That’s… not very far! But it’s still cool because it looks like an RPG launcher and if you were to use it in Pakistan to play a prank on the locals, you’d be guaranteed a swift bombing by a drone. Or you can just, you know, play with this safely in your backyard like a normal person.

Well… a normal person with lots of disposable income because the RPG7 is going for ¥28,350 (~$361 USD). That’s one expensive toy.

Incidentally if any of our Japanese speaking readers wants to help us out and dig some details from the links below, that’d be pretty cool.
