So I go to pick up the BunkerBabe from her civillian job…and she's not outside yet waiting, so I sit in the truck and wait patiently at the curb. Then I notice a nalgene water bottle sitting over by the doorway. Hmmm. Im guessing a bicyclist left it when he unlocked/locked his bike to the rack. Anyway, I get out of the truck and examine it. Its a genuine Nalgene brand, hard plastic, full of water. Probably a good quart of water right there. Now, Im not about to keep a water bottle I find on the street..not out of ethics but more from hygiene. On the other hand, I was curious how durable these bottles were and now was my chance to find out. Full bottle. Heavy. I hold it over my head at arms length and let it drop to the concrete. I made sure to drop it so it would land at an angle for maximum damage.

Nothing. Nada. A gouge on the edge of the bottom from the concrete but no cracks, no splits, no holes, no nothing. Hmmm. Tried it again. Same results.

I'll be buying a half dozen later this week.
