    Here's a simple idea that I wouldn't be surprised to see in new water bottle designs soon: A bottle with a second filler cap on the side to make it easier to fill in shallow sinks. (Or in my case, a sink still brimming with dirty dishes.) The "Binibottle" was created as part of a inventor's contest.

    From Oh Gizmo:

    And believe it or not this simple but extremely helpful innovation was created by 15 year old Anna Axelsson. She designed the bottle for the Finnupp inventor's contest and ended up winning the gold medal. The bottle can apparently be found in Swedish sporting good stores for around $5 and it's safe to assume Anna won't have any trouble paying for college when the time comes.
    i can't believe no one thought of this before.

    LOL. I can't this girl thought of that before anyone else. I am sure it crossed the minds of many women and men to do that, but I guess no one ever wanted to go through with inventing that or thought there was already one out there.

    I think no one thought of it because we were all to busy having fun finding new ways to squeeze that bottle into a sink that it wouldn't fit in.

    You're just pissed because the inventor isn't of legal age yet.

    Actually research has shown that bottled water is much less pure than water filtered from an at-home filtration system.

    So, not only is bottled water less safe than filtered water from a BRITA, it's inferior in many ways to "unfiltered" tap water.

    Bottled water is actually a huge topic here in Chicago right now. They've been discussing numerous ways to deal with the bottled water crisis.

    Right, and rich people can afford health insurance if they get the cholera from a Dasani bottle.

    Case in point:
