WTF. Yet another attempt to use technology to solve problems that could be resolved with a little maturity on the part of consumers. I don't foresee many people being willing to eat something that looks like a used condom, if they'll even drink from it in the first place.

Looks like a good idea but needs work. It's not clear - do we swallow the casing or throw it out? It would have to travel well; I use Brita at home. I wonder if they could make little sheets of small water pockets that we could use like chewing gum - less ceremony in use. Although I suppose in reality people wouldn't hold up their waterskin with an air of "Behold!"

Oh, I am sure they would be able to sell it, and soon after, little bubbles of bourbon. If people will suck on synthetic cigarettes because they are flavored and flavored e-cigs too, you could pretty much make money by putting little balls of cat poo in a bubble and making it chocolate flavored and people would buy it like candy. oops
