Square Water Bottle?

This reminds me of the Kor water bottle that Eastman was pushing a few years ago at the IDSA conferences.

It was an aesthetically pleasing piece of sh*t.

They used plastic that was so soft it made a horrible noise when you opened it, it was made using a bunch of co-molded pieces of plastic which probably killed any ability to recycle it, it was difficult to clean and so complex it made you wonder “what problem were you trying to solve, other than peddling some new plastics?”. And they all had an awkward tolerance where the lines of the top and bottom would never actually line up, and it wouldn’t fit in most cup holders due to the size.

I have a whole load of water bottles. Most of them have 2 or 3 pieces at the most, and they work just fine. It’s kind of morbid at a design level when you lose such track of an actual problem that you go and create landfill like that.
