Oh No I Broke a Glass Water Bottle....it's not a problem :-)

I broke one of my new glass water bottles....oh no!!! But no worries. I use the Lixit GB-Kit S (Recycles Beverage Bottles) Small Tube water bottle kits. They seem spendy, but they are WELL worth the money. I bumped the table and poof. Well, I just went over to my cabinet and pulled out another. Totally cool. This is also a great bottle if you have trouble opening the screw top bottles, which I have trouble with. Once you attach the hardware onto the cage, you don't remove it. Just scrub it when you scrub the cage. It is also easy to keep lots of bottles in reserve. I use Snapple bottles I get from the recycle bin at my work lunchroom--other bottles work as well. I remove the labels using a hair dryer and then I scrub the bottle, then I put it in boiling water and then run it through the dishwasher sans soap (I don't want soap residue in the bottle).

Even better, you can purchase additional stoppers with tubes so when you clean your bottles, you can have standbys readily available. And you are contributing to sustainability.

There are various places this can be purchased, but it is primarily listed under BIRD water bottles as it is marketed as a bird water water bottle.
