In a world where adults walk around with water containers hanging out of their mouths just like babies suckling their bottles in their cribs, the
water bottle business is obviously booming. Here's a teenager who figured out how to improve the containers that carry around water, but not the store-bought kind. Swedish 15-year-old Anna Axelsson noticed how difficult it is to fill larger water bottles in shallow sinks, so she added another twist cap on the side, making it easy to fill from a horizontal position. It's now on sale for five bucks at Swedish sporting good stores. The idea is good enough to spread across the world. Maybe it will help persuade people to give up their infantile attachment to rip-off
bottled water, perhaps someday realizing that in double-blind testing New York City tap water does just as well as even the most expensive
Agua De Culo. [

If there was ever a reusable water bottle that we'd pay $29 for, this would be it. The Kor One is made out of BPA free plastic, and can be opened with one hand while cycling or running or eating or wiping. Their website is exactly what you'd expect from a company that's selling a $29 water bottle and is filled with earth-friendly/ridiculous phrases like "sustainability" and "The KOR ONE is not a water bottle, it's an invitation." Nevertheless, it's one damn sexy bottle that we'd definitely use whilst running on our newly purchased treadmill. [Kor Water via Mocoloco via Treehugger]
