Gatorade Bottle



This is my new water bottle. I think it's cool. My friends think it is ugly though. Smole thinks the label and the cap is too green. Pinktutu says it looks like a alligator because of its ribbed sides. And the clincher, Jamieoliver says I have as much taste as a 13-year old boy. Bah!

Really, do you think this bottle is ugly?

i guess the most important aspect of such things is functionality... much like the criteria for spousal material of many Singaporean women... it's great if it works hard for you, and is solid and dependable... looks ought to be secondary and are a bonus...

bottomline: i'm ambivalent...

PS: coming from a man with three pairs of shoes to his name... ; )

This picture looks phallic.

let's put it this way, if I were an Evian bottle, I wouldn't take a second look at him.

Train of thot - solid and dependable??

Brenda - that's the view from my window at home. You can see the container port at the top right of the picture. The light blue bit is the sea. Sad to say, not all of Singapore looks like this.

lucian - okaay...

smudgi3 - you wouldn't give me a second look? *hurt*

alvin - i am five parts water. i am either half full or half empty depending on your inclination. is that cool enough for you? :)

I'm actually the designer of the original bottle. I spent most of the time on the mouth piece. So it was easer for cyclist to get a sip while riding. I didnt have any influence on the latest bottle contour.

Hi Jaysun! Thanks for stopping by! It's cool that you designed the original bottle. The mouth piece is a breeze to use.. How does the original bottle look like?
