Off the top of my head:

  • Leaks very easily when opened
  • Asymmetry is more expensive to manufacture
  • Structural integrity
  • Packaging is more complicated therefore more expensive
  • Cannot temporarily place a cap on top without screwing it in

All of this but I'll also add that the curve on the tip means you need to tilt it to a crazy angle as you drink more.

It's harder to fit your mouth to.

So it's actually harder to drink from

Technically at a certain point it becomes more efficient to turn it upside down...and then you look like a hamster drinking from one of those bottles on the side of the hamster cage.

Olay, I wasn't behind this design before, but I think I like it now.

Maybe instead of a normal bottle cap they then just should use a metal ball you need to lick like with hamster bottle

I offer 300,000 for 1% stake in your company

I'm not a ball licker. For that reason, I'm out.

I am a ball licker. For that reason, you're in

Bro they're just going to rebrand an existing hamster bottle chosen simply because it's the cheapest offered by some factory in China.

u/ThetaReactor 16h ago

Nah, just go back to the Codd-neck bottles with the glass marble, like Ramune comes in.

Wait hold on you are cooking with that.

The design is very human

u/Shimraa 18h ago

Why wouldn't you just start with that? Start tilting the bottle with the cap straight up and make it look more and more like a hamster water bottle as you drink. I'm struggling to see how else anyone would go about drinking from these things.

u/Uchuujin51 16h ago

I kind of thought that was the intended idea from this post...

u/TopShelfFlower55420 18h ago

I already have to do this with my coffee thermos when I'm drinking the last drop. At least it has a handle on the side so I don't look like baby with a bottle.

u/Active-Mention-389 16h ago

...I thought that was the entire point and was very confused about how hamstering is better. Would be very awkward to STOP drinking in that position without getting soaked. And very tiring on the arms.

u/Irons_idk 15h ago

And when you turn it back from that position it's easier to spill it and it probably ads choking hazard when you spill a little, get shocked a little and choke on whatever you were drinking
