  1. Looks impossible to clean. You’d need to cut it in half to reach every edge.

  2. Lovely idea!

    @fluxme:
    You could almost say the same about the water in some regions out there… :(

  3. i don’t think they’re gonna bitch about how clean the thing is.

  4. worry about cleaning it later. getting it is the problem that needs to be solved now, and that seems like a step in the right direction

  5. Looks like a back saver! I love simple changes that have a big impact.

    @fluxme: do you always miss the point by so far?

  6. Why dont they just put the water containers in the back of a car or something?
