New From BarBri's Engineering Program...


Only a right side of the brain thinker could come up with this design for a water bottle that's supposed to be used by people "on the go."

See how it flares out at the top? The means that when you tip it back, that top has to fill with more water than an ordinary bottle does. That means that you have to tip it further back, towards your face, to drink from it.

The flared top requiring you to tip your whole head back just to take sip would suck in even a regular bottle. But this bottle has lip with a 3 inch diameter... which makes not spilling this while you walk and drink from it 100% impossible. That's right, BarBri put a wide mouth on a bottle that requires you to tip your head all the way back for even the first sip... and expects you to travel with it. Who is the genious that said "Hey, you know how every other water bottle gets skinnier at the top? Fuck that. I think wider at the top is the way to go."

This is the world's only stationary water bottle that you can casually carry. I defy anyone to drink from this while walking without spilling it on himself. I have a great idea for next year's bottle, where every bottle has a straw that operated like one of those games at the fair where the groundhogs pop out of the ground and you have to hit them with a foam mallet.

I dunno, it seems like BarBri put as much energy/thought into designing the bottle as they did any other logistics of the classes.

Agreed on the spilling thing. Luckily it is just water, and when you have stopped wearing make-up and your "dress up day" means you wear the t-shirt with no stains and the new yoga pants, water is like a barely noticable blip on the radar.

I believe that the water bottle was designed by the woman who taught Wills and Trusts. She said it really really quickly, never gave anyone a chance to think, and then the manufacturing team did the best with what they heard...

I had that bottle for awhile, and then it busted in the dishwasher. I think it's only for show and not actual use.

well if it busted in the dishwasher than i wouldn't recommend using it as a sex toy... i don't see how that could end well for anybody
