It's bottled water—for kids! Fortified with vitamins, minerals, and especially good old H2O. Finally, no more arguing with your kids to hush up and drink their Evian. Yves Behar has designed this "Y Water," featuring bottles that are also toys. And Kanye West loves it! I think I heard of this "bottled water that kids love" idea back when it was called "Capri Sun." Anyhow, I'm sure this product is both necessary, and a great value. Not to mention the obvious benefits for the plastics industry. Two fun-loving pics of children enjoying this capitalist monstrosity, after the jump.

Enjoy your false estrogens, kids!
Just like Guatemalan landfill children.
Let's just hope this will keep us out of a recession.
yay! juvanille hyponatremia!
Is it me, or does the bottle really look like a Henry Moore sculpture of the classic nutsack and prong. I mean, there are the two bits, and the kibble is the spout from which one, ahem, drinks.
"Look, we made a model of a poop molecule! In the future, that will be our food."
Capitalist monstrosity, indeed. Right up there with oatmeal for women.
Bottled water is not very green. Use reusable containers (i.e. Nalgene bottles).
More plastic crap to poison our children, how adorable.
@Richard: If I had any power around this place, that would get a commie.
There has to be a way to convert these into sex toys, right?
I remember drinking 'Quarter Waters' during the '80s on the streets of Brooklyn.
This is what they get for having their focus groups in Austria.
@FitnessMadeSimple: 2nd'd
So, they're like K'NEX, but I can fill them with BOOZE??
That's my wedding reception sorted.
Unfortunately, vitamin C is very acidic and eats away kiddies' tooth enamel faster than soda.
But those bottles look like they'd be great for chucking at people.
@Hez: holy shit you're a goddamn genius!
@IndianSlipper: Yes.
Step 1: Insert any of the four nubs into orifice of choice
Step 2: Enjoy
You now have a sex toy.
@FitnessMadeSimple: (See fig.2)
@valarmorghulis: Doesn't it sound beautiful? Vast cities and structures (complete with catacombs) made entirely of glorious, shimmering booze...
Welcome to Drinkopolis! Population: me.
@TedSez: the bottle filled with c'nip would also make a great cat toy... but then we would be poisoning cats, right BK_KT? poor kit-tahs.
@Hez: are these things available now? because i'm thinking of putting in a bar and I think I could devise an awesome contraption to hang over the bar. It could act as both an crafy/arty "roof" to the bar, that I could pour drinks into and "guests" (me) could drink out of.
Am I the only one who is confused because the liquid inside those containers is NOT water?!
They look like butt-plugs for cows.
@CCGypsy14: correct, it's Y Water
Also, I tired to go to their website [www.ywater.us] to see if this was available locally, but it looks like it's only on AZ. There could be a way to change the state, but AZ isn't the 1st alphabetically, and the layout was giving me a headache. Looks like they're mainly at Whole Foods though, so I might jsut check there.
@CCGypsy14: But I understand your confusion. Why is the "water" orange?!
@valarmorghulis: I love that both of our catering plans extend only as far as providing for the most important guest: ourselves.
@Hez: naturally, after consuming all of that Y (drink) Water, we'd make terrible hosts. besides, it's a "popup" bar. as in, "pop up and make it your damn self."
Great. More plastic crap for my kid to insist on keeping. It will go spectacularly with every rip-off prize from Chuck E. Cheese's. That's it - no more water. The kid drinks beer or nothing.
@valarmorghulis: Or as in "pop up to the liquor store and get some more booze for your drunk old Auntie!"
Y, indeed.
@donmiguel: yes it does. kiddie style. not right.
@Hez: and "on the way back pop up to my guys house and grab a dub.
@valarmorghulis: And pop by the ATM if you wouldn't mind. Auntie needs a little "staggering around" money.
@Hez: I really think we need to start a day-care/delivery company. "PopUp Services Inc. -You drop them off, we put them to work." Are shock collars considered inhumane for children? Couldn't be, that'd be inchilde. No laws I know of regarding inchilde treatment.
Also...@valarmorghulis: close your quotes dipshit!
So much for my children. Now, what about my children's children?
@valarmorghulis: The Geneva Convention does not apply to things made entirely of snips, snails and puppy dog tails... so legally, I think we're good.
@Hez: So now we just need a single Invisable Fence loop that has home, cigarette store, the guy's house, the booze-store, the porn shop, and an ATM. Everything else can be delivered by Amazon Fresh.
@famousauthor: Hez and I will soon have Foundiation Membership rates posted.
@valarmorghulis: @famousauthor: And rest assured, I will be handling all the spelling from here on out.
@Hez: r U makin fun uf mi?
@valarmorghulis: Noez! R frenchip iz on a salad fowndiashun!
@if_i_only_had_a_heart: Phew. I thought I had pudenda eyes or something...
@Hez: Yay! So two of my friends can come!
Useless information, but the push to bottled water for children has lead to an increase of cavities. Most cities fortify their water with fluoride, so the kids aren't getting that treatment.
@FitnessMadeSimple: exactly! @IndianSlipper: there's no conversion necessary...perfectly designed for sitting so everyone is ful-filled!
Not for nuthin', but when I was a kid my mom used to kick us out of the house in the morning to get us out of her hair. For lunch we'd maybe have a twinkie and also maybe some dirt and if we got thirsty we'd drink actual water out of the garden hose in the back yard. I hate these stupid Y Water people and their stupid flash based website and their stupid "developmental drink". Which is, by the way, not water.
It's a stupid beverage, but it does look like a fun toy. If they just sold empty, reusable bottles like that I think people would like them.
Toy? TOY? That damn thing that they're building looks exactly like my $200 organic chemistry model kit minus the features. This "water" is going to make it super easy to teach organic chemistry haha... BK-KT your an idiot.. Not all plastics are harmful and frankly the ones that "supposidly" are, reaaaally aren't..
