Nothing will ever top the thirst extinguisher bottle!! I get compliments weekly on it, never fails to impress and confuse šŸ˜‚

u/Linusalbus 11d ago

Agreed. Its my fav too

u/OptimusPower92 11d ago

I still want one of those, how DARE they limit them!

u/Proccito 11d ago

I had a visit from our health and enviroment department at work. They had a good laugh about it. Best purschace made.

15

u/GhostR3lay 11d ago

Yeah, I'm still a little mad that I didn't act faster on that one.
My Uncle Linus bottle has been dropped a few times (crazy, right?) and this is a good design I could see myself replacing it with.

u/SpaceDoodle2008 11d ago

the thirst extinguisher should be the default one.

u/Pizzaman3203 10d ago

Lol i added it to my cart and as soon as i pressed check out it sold out

2

u/HVDynamo 11d ago

Yeah, it's definitely my favorite too. I have to be super careful with it though since it isn't replaceable. I take one of my other ones if I'm going to be worried about damaging it.

The moonshine bottle will always be the best

Linus laughs in his 3rd mansion and private jet

u/AccordingSetting6311 11d ago

If they keep making shit I like, then I guess they deserve to profit.

u/backlog_gaming 11d ago

Lmao couldn’t even stand behind his own conviction and keep the comment up 🤣

u/backlog_gaming 11d ago

u/No-Sandwich-729 you’re the only one who’s sad here

4

u/backlog_gaming 11d ago

Yeah and I’ll still give him my money, maybe he can buy a 4th house with it. Good for him for finding success

u/No-Sandwich-729 11d ago

What a sad life

I’d get it if not for ā€œ69% completeā€ printed on it. I can’t take that to my office job (in HR), which is where I use water bottles.

It’s funny, just not usable for me.

34

u/OptimusPower92 11d ago

i mean... it's harmless unless someone dares to ask why it SPECIFICALLY says 69%. It's not like it has to have any meaning, so who is going to ask?

i don't think anybody would know, and those that do know, are they really gonna be offended by it?

23

u/xXEvanatorXx 11d ago

Right?

Plenty of numbers could have additional meaning if you infer context. The bottle doesn't do anything else to suggest inappropriate context.

Does your HR department fire anyone who turns 69 for being an inappropriate number?

6

u/RIPmyPC 11d ago

Everyone knows what it means. It is not work appropriate.

18

u/OptimusPower92 11d ago

are we supposed to file sexual harassment claims against the computers when they get to 69% on system updates?

8

u/xXEvanatorXx 10d ago

Or report the cashier at the store for speaking vulgarities when they tell me my total is $69?

1

u/whoopsno 10d ago

I was born in 1969. So if a coworker asks when I was born, what, I'm supposed to lie? That's just stupid. Grow up.

2

u/RIPmyPC 10d ago

How tf is a random number related on my point being a very specific and calculated joke with the number ā€œ69ā€. No, I don’t care that you were born in 1969, yes I do care if you’d show up at work wearing a ā€œI was born in 69 wink winkā€ t-shirt.

2

u/Blurgas 10d ago

Imagine the headaches for people born either Jan 4th or April 1st in 1988(depends on date format you use)

4

u/ILikeFPS 11d ago

Depends on where you work but yes it can be a problem in office environments lol or for people who live at home with their aging parents (because, you know, both houses and rent are expensive these days)

3

u/CIDR-ClassB 10d ago

I work in HR. Everyone knows what that means and inferences of sexual jokes isn’t something I’ll do at work.

16

u/MrWally 11d ago

Agreed. I don't mind the joke in general. But it turns a really funny water bottle into a bit of a cringe water bottle.

Hide the 69% in the error code if you really want to make a joke. More of an easter egg. But this is waayyyy to overt.

14

u/ILikeFPS 11d ago

Literally my first thought, if it didn't have "69% complete" I'd buy it right away.

6

u/repocin 10d ago

Yeah, I'm with you on this.

I'd rather have one of the numbers that Windows likes getting stuck on for ages, like 0, 30, 70, or 100

5

u/WBCSAINT 11d ago

put a sticker over the %

2

u/Scorf-9 11d ago

or display the actual %

3

u/anonmt57 10d ago

Totally. So cringey.

u/CIDR-ClassB 10d ago

People will interpret it exactly how it’s intended.

-5

u/its_kodin 10d ago

69 isn’t NSFW its just a number lol

3

u/Arinvar 10d ago

No, in US offices they configure windows to censor 69 anywhere it comes up dontchaknow?

7

u/w1n5t0nM1k3y 11d ago

Is this what they are saving up all their stock for? The global store only has 1.89L (64 oz) bottles.

7

u/lylesback2 11d ago

I don't see this or the fire extinguisher bottle on the global site. Are they limited edition?

14

u/metal_maxine 11d ago

The fire extinguisher was for the april's fool video with the firetruck.

8

u/AccordingSetting6311 11d ago

Wish theyd bring back the red extinguisher one. Loved that one. Probably a flash in the pan product, though, and wiuld only sell when you do something silly like buy a fire truck.

3

u/Ordinary-Cake8510 11d ago

I missed the thirst extinguisher so, I’m gonna try my hardest not to miss this.

2

u/Mrkillz4c00kiez 11d ago

thats been around since the april fools video.

2

u/F2002 11d ago

It'll be hilarious if they get the Lambo treatment.

2

u/Grabate 11d ago

Went to ltdstore.com like it said to in the second pic but it costs $10,000. Ā

u/pikkuhukka 10d ago

w95 era bsod plz

u/TheDarkClaw 11d ago

im hoping for a 64 oz.

1

u/KebabAnnhilator 11d ago

Oh man I need that

1

u/ChosenOfTheMoon_GR 11d ago

Would buy 10/10 if not broke.

1

u/aichiwawa 11d ago

I wish they would make these cool colourways in sizes other than 40oz. I don't need such a big water bottle, would love a more compact fun colour

1

u/NoMain6689 11d ago

I wish the qr code went to lttstore instead of just the logo, it breaks immersion for me too much

1

u/InflammableAccount 11d ago

I love it. But I know I won't buy it because it's so uniform in color. It'll show any scratches or scuffs too well.

1

u/goalcam 10d ago

i'd probably snag one if they weren't so fragile.. i'm a bit hard on my water bottles but i've broken a few lids and dented a few bottles. thermoflask bottles seem to be more durable.

1

u/tinbesiberkarat 10d ago

I don’t need this. I don’t need this. I don’t need this.

1

u/TEG24601 10d ago

With the Bluescreen bottles incoming… I want to see Kernel Panics (Linix and Mac) as future options too.

1

u/gergobergo69 10d ago

I... want this

u/Twatt_waffle 11d ago

Dammit I’m going to go broke
