This thing sucks.
I got suckered into purchasing a Bobble the other day on one of my 15 trips to Target to purchase prescription medications for either me, my husband or my son (as we have all be sick for the past 2 weeks with a mystery flu-like virus). I say suckered because I saw a Bobble once at a different store and was intreagued by the idea of the thing. You’re supposed to be able to fill it with regular tap water and the carbon filter inside it will filter the water as you drink it. You’d be doing your part in helping preserve our environment by eliminating disposable water bottles from your monthly purchases, not to mention the cash I’m supposed to save by using ANY source of water as drinking water.
I was so excited to have a new water bottle that would provide purified water any time a faucet was within reach. Not to mention, the thing was on sale for $9.00 at Target instead of the normal price of $10.00.
I took it home and filled it to the brim with cold water from the tap in my kitchen. As per the directions, the first time you fill the Bobble, you are supposed to squeeze all of the water out to help ‘prep’ the filter. As I was squeezing the water out, I noticed my hand starting to cramp. It was tough! The water didn’t come out in a stream, but a trickle, no matter how hard I squeezed. So I filled it again, and took a drink from it for the first time. I got more air than water. For the amount of time that it took me to finish that bottle, excuse me, BOBBLE of water, I kept saying, “Geez, this thing sucks…” Also, I kept burping.
