CamelBak Bottle
Nutrition experts say you should drink at least eight glasses of water a day. The corporate IT department, on the other hand, doesn’t want liquids anywhere near your computer.
In an effort to protect the health of my body and my hardware, I’ve tried several different kinds of water bottles, but they all share the same design flaw: They require you to unscrew the top in order to drink from them, thus creating the potential for splashes.
(Scoff if you like, but I’ve ruined two keyboards that way.) So I began searching for a flask safe enough to keep next to my computer.
Enter the CamelBak bottle, a clear-plastic container with a leak-free nozzle system. You simply bite down on the nozzle and then suck on it like a straw, which eliminates the possibility of dribbling or spilling.
It is slim enough to fit in most cup holders and has a large hook on the top for attaching it to backpacks or other bags. Now I take the CamelBak everywhere I go. I stay hydrated, and my hardware stays dry.
US $12.

How funny. A “sippy cup” for adults!
Actually, I’m a big fan of Camelback products, but couldn’t resist the comment on the similarity of this product with all the spill-proof drink cups for young children.
