The New Coolest Thing Since Sliced Bread

Behold… the CamelBak Bottle, the best innovation to hit the IHOP-KC prayer room since reading lamps at the study tables.

Imagine the IHOP logo emblazoned on the front. Also imagine the angels singing in the background.

Randy may be watching the latest Blackberry trend; I’m more interested in these genius little doo-dads. I don’t know yet if everyone in the prayer room will soon be sporting CamelBaks… but I think everyone should.

Just think of the benefits! No more feeling like you’re drinking out of a pickle jar. No more dribbling water down your shirt from the thread around the rim of aforementioned pickle-jar-like bottles. No more neck-craning to get to the last two ounces of water. No more nose interference, for those of us who are blessed with a dramatic profile. No need to unscrew the whole top for every drink. Just flip, sip, and go.

I went to the gym yesterday and was able to use it without stopping on the elliptical machine. No spills, no bonking of the teeth or nose on a hard plastic rim. It was beautiful.

Perhaps you don’t look too terribly cool drinking from it… I suppose in some ways it’s a bit like an adult sippy cup. But it’s got to look cooler than having to do a Matrix-bullet-dodging back bend in order to actually drink the water…
