Bored of bottled water? Bored of ice and water inspired bottles? Bored of blue?

Here comes Piranha water to save bottled water from a permanent residence in Dullsville. We haven’t seen or tasted it yet but we already love it.

Plup Oy Ab Ltd is an independent Finnish company who create “Plup Water“, a spring water from the Anttila well in Lestijärvi, Finland. The company donates 10 euro cents from each Plup Bottle sold directly to the Baltic Sea Action Group to help with the cleaning of the Baltic Sea.

Each PLUP bottle holds a pint of water and is made from HDPE, a highly recyclable plastic.  PLUP encourages consumers not to return the bottle, but rather to re-fill and re-use it. Plup’s range of drinks will be expanding later this year to include different products, colors and transparencies. [Read more →]

We have a bit of an obsession at the moment with milk based products. Combine this with our Japanese cute culture obsession and no wonder we were pretty excited to discover ‘Qoo White Water’, a new drink for kids from Coca-Cola Japan which essentially is a fortified water with skimmed milk. Haven’t tasted it yet but the packaging is of course a winner.
