Do you own a nalgene?

I have a funny Nalgene story...

I was camping in a field one night and I woke up around 2:00am to take a sip of water. I immediately start getting bitten by ants all over my hand and around my mouth. It was the most awful thing to happen. I spiked the bottle like a football to knock the ants off, moved my sleeping bag and went back to sleep.

This is one of these things someone has made a metric tonne of money of of. Just like the guy who invented those tabs on the shoe-laces. Or other stuff. I want.

Yeah. The company used to make chemical storage containers for places like labs and factories. At an executive board meeting, they handed out these waterbottles, which were a mini version of their products. Everyone liked them so much that they decided to sell them. Sales immediately skyrocketed and now the company sells almost exclusively water bottles.

I have 3 at home (not really mine, actually), and I've seen at least two other people at school who have one. It's really quite funny when you're having lunch with a group of friends and a number of them have the same water bottle as yours.

Wow, that's an interesting story - I never knew they were that expensive though.

IMO, 6 or 7 dollars isn't expensive for something indestructible like that. Plus you look like a cool backpacker dude if you have one.

And if it breaks, they'll replace it for free!
