Vapur anti-bottles
Honest, I’m not shilling for the Vapur folks. But while wasting time online, er, doing internet research last week I stumbled across their anti-bottle, a roll-it-up-and-stash-it-in-your-pocket water bottle, and I ordered one for Himself and one for me. We are muchly impressed.
This handy little number makes at least one thing easier when going through airport security–one less thing to futz with while you’re removing your shoes and jacket, emptying your pockets, wrangling your ziplock bag filled with 3-ounce containers and pulling your laptop out of its sleeve while trying not to lose your boarding pass and ID or wig out over the invasive technology and possible strip search. I’ve chugged my share of water while standing in the airport security line. No more!
When you fill it with water, it stands up. When it’s empty, it’s flat and takes up no space at all. It holds a half-liter (about two cups) and has a carabiner attached so you can hook the bottle onto your backpack or use it to keep the bottle rolled up when it’s empty. You can wash it in the dishwasher. You can freeze it. It’s made without BPA’s, so there’s that selling point. And it’s made in the US, so you can feel good about supporting the home team.
Sweet!
I was just on Bonaire, where they beg people to reuse 1 plastic bottle for their entire stay. This is one step better.
Thanks
