I admit that I am a huge nerd, and while I was wandering aimlessly around Target today, I came across this bottle and decided I had to have it.

It’s like a spill-proof sippy cup for adults. Does it get any better than that??

Made by Thermos, it is even more awesome than I expected it to be. Of course, it’s not a water bottle. That would be discrimination against other beverages. So it’s called a “hydration” bottle. Made of double insulated stainless steel. And I am pleased to say that it really does what it claims to do.

When you push the little grey button on the lid, it snaps open to reveal a straw, which is then pinched shut when you close the lid so there is no leaking. Hence, spill-proof sippy cup. Of course I had to hold the bottle upside down to test this out, because I am that mature. And of course, it did  not leak all over the place. Which was good, cause I was not in the mood to clean up that mess!

This bottle is made of pure awesome. It claims to keep cold things cold for up to 12 hours. I managed to test it for 3 hours today before I ran out of green tea, but it stayed cold the whole time. And the absolute best part was that the outside of the bottle does not feel cold, and it does not sweat! No more rings all over the place or getting your hands damp every time you want a drink. Pure. Awesome.

The only thing that would make it better is a carrying hook or strap of some kind. Though, since it does not sweat, I have zero problem putting it inside a bag with other things, so it may not need one after all.

You know the first thing I thought when I saw it today? “This would be perfect for my booze at Dragon*Con!”

I am such a nerd.
