Check out the video link. That is wild!

I don't see them replacing bottles. If I go out with a 16oz bottle to sip on, now I will need 16 little pouches to carry and hope they don't break?

Will I need a plastic container with a lid, maybe something like em.... a water bottle to carry them?

I do see a novelty in them. I have been to a sushi restaurant that would place a globule of saki in a shot of beer.

It sounds good. But, what are you ingesting as the "skin" that holds this together? And to ingest a lot of that outer layer, what health effects might that have?

 that was my thought as well.  How about people just keep an insulated cup with them and drink water they can get from a bubbler?  The whole bottled water thing is crazy.

Doesnt sound so appetizing that way! Lol

We buy bottled water by the flat.

Dad takes it when out doing ditches, everyone takes them to work and school.

Glass bottles are not really something you want packed in coolers or at work sites.

I'd try it just to try it. How do the keep the bottles sanitary? I don't want to bite into something everyone has been touching

Calcium chloride is inorganic.

So instead of holding a plastic bottle, you swallow it.

 Calcium chloride is NOT a plastic. It's a salt. It's in a LOT of food from beer to cheeses to sports drinks to...bottled water! You eat a lot of it every day. It's generally regarded as safe, so much so that the EU (which has MUCH stricter guidelines than the US) allows it in food.  

I could see them as disposable being that they appear to be biodegradable, But I don't think I want to eat one. Plus they shouldn't form them into balls. They should form them into bottles. Maybe even square ones so they take up less space.

We do need to somehow get away from the ecologically disastrous plastic bottles.

Ok. So one bottle is 5.99.

Dad goes through a whole lot of water when working in the summer.

Not to mention who ever is working with him.

It is not practical to have a bottle you have reusable water bottles.

---

  Well, why not bring gallon water jug?  You remember what you want to remember.  Everyone remembers their cell phones.  A gallon jug works quite well too.  However, if you are then using red plastic solo cups then it's probably a wash to use bottles.  But, the amount of plastic water bottles flying around is incredible.

 Hahaha...You called it a bubbler. When I lived in Colorado I said that once and never heard the end of it.

 I didn't come here to be mocked!

 Look, I buy bottled water for many purposes, but I try to use refillable bottles whenever I can.  And I particularly hate using bottled water where people don't have recycling bins to put them.  I hate seeing people use them when they can't even be bothered to recycle them and they just add to the land fill.

Guys, I'm not being obstinate.

I'm trying to explain.

Refillable cups, water bottles are great. We have about 12 of them.

But they are not practical when digging ditches, crawling under houses, or any other part of putting in water and electrical lines.

You need something that closes completely, won't become expensive because of replacement due to damage, and is easily transported.

You can slide a 16 Oz water bottle in your pouch, crawl under a house and do what you need to do.

Can't do that with a cup or gallon jug, and if you happen to forget it when you crawl out, it's maybe 15 cents you lost, not 6 bucks.

For most everything else we have refillable bottles and cups.

But for dad's job, it doesn't work.

 I get it.  I just hope they recycle them and don't throw them in the nearest trash can.
