The Hydros bottle is a BPA-free 16oz water bottle with an integrated fast flow filter. Simply fill it with tap water and go.

Oh look! Overpriced garbage to go along with an overpriced degree
It can be said with a lot more detail, but it can't get any more succinct than that... especially when we have to compete worldwide, after the corporations were propped up by our tax dollars to be moved offshore...
about one word...
There are better gifts for students than this!
1. iTunes gift card so that they can get some new music to listen to while doing homework
2. Think Gum - a caffeinated gum that helps improve memory so that they will actually learn a little more
3. Some new flip-flops for the dorm showers so that they don't get a crazy foot infection from all of the other people that shower in there
4. Multivitamins - beer and cafeteria food will only provide part of the nutritional requirements we need
5. New headphones - these things always seem to break!
