I love the collapsible handle to 'make carrying the bottle around easier', like a tiny handle you can get two fingers through is preferable to just holding the bottle in your hand or putting it in a bag.

Nettle Soup posted:I was gonna say maybe you could put undiluted squash in the bottom and keep refilling the top with water, but you can get those squeezy things that makes that pointless too... You put the mix in the top, the hard liquor in the bottom, and you hope security doesn't notice it's three compartments when you try and bring a thermos in. Bonus: weed in the middle compartment. Also, let's triple the number of seals required for a thermos, because that's pretty much the first point of failure for them.

MrMoo posted:Another water bottle, this time it is modular! 3× over-funded with 49-days left to go. At first I figured it had to be a terrible thermos or just a regular bottle with the temperature indicator on the bottom,as no way that would work except by being the lid, and who would have a bottle you have to seal up and flip over to access the other drink? Turns out you cap one bottle, flip it over and fill the other because carrying around a bottle upside down all the time will never end badly. Except the bottom also holds a can and the temperature indicator is a plastic slide not even one of those color changing plastic things, so lots of fiddly parts to have mold grow in.

Nemo2342 posted:Oh, so like those single-serve Crystal Light packets. This is squash:  You dilute it 4 parts water to 1 part squash or 9 parts water to 1 part squash, depending on the type of squash it is. Or, you drink it straight and blast out your ability to taste anything forever. Either works. But as mentioned you can buy a little plastic squeeze bottle to piss a bit of squash into your water bottle or thermos or whatever and it holds like 40 glasses or something worth, so yeah, still pointless.

Closest American equivalent available to the public I know of usually comes frozen like this.  Which is used like this.  Then water is added to make juice. It does say it keeps stuff cold for 24 hrs, maybe that's still an option  .

He would be about $80k richer right now if the project had failed to fund, ironically enough. Oh, and this isn't the first thing that went wrong with this project. Back in July of last year they announced that they couldn't make the game as they'd pitched it so they were changing the mechanics (no more hero switching, but you can jump now!), the story (from treasure seeker to a kid chasing a devil who stole their bike), and the title (from The Hero Trap to drat! Devil Stole My Bike!). So really, even before it was canceled no one who backed the project was getting the game they had pledged for.

Knormal posted:Nah, they're all over the place in the US in that last year or so, a lot of the women at my work are crazy for them. It's a fad, so they probably just haven't hit your social circle. That stuff is a bunch of crap, you can get 1.75 liters of double concentrated squash for £2 which ultimately makes 17.5 liters of drink. The little squeeze bottles are basically a fad here too as far as I can tell, but the big bottles have been a thing (at least single concentrate) since forever. Obviously what is needed is a machine where you put DRMed pods into it and it makes artisanal glasses of fruit flavored water one at a time. Also the water is a little thicker than normal, but that's where the flavor is!

Kickstarter to bring proper Robinsons style squash to the US, pretend it's a new idea rather than something that's been utterly ubiquitous in the UK and Australia for several decades, no one will ever know.

I am not sure that I believe it, because of the way he dropped it in the same breath as "oh yeah the refunds for the money I took from you all that was never going to make the game happen anyway". Sounded more like he was verbally filing for bankruptcy to his backers. I can't imagine someone savvy enough to pull a trick like that would sink much of his own money into Springtime_For_Hitler.exe

Actually, it was 3rd degree burns. Also, McDonalds weren't "warned" in the past, they just settled all past lawsuits cuz it's cheaper to pay the $100,000 (the area they typically settled for) than worry about expensive litigation. The temperature was very typical for coffee of any nearby restaurants (or restaurant coffee in general) and was only a little hotter (10-20 degrees) than home made coffee makers. At the temperatures used and the time of exposure the old lady had, she was gonna receive 3rd degree burns regardless of it being McDonald's temp or home coffee temperature. They still have not lowered their coffee temperature because it's still the temperature customers want and they still make bank off of coffee. Oh and most lawsuits over coffee spills get thrown out or settled very quickly. Only thing that was changed was the stupid lid now saying "hot" as if that would've prevented the old lady from spilling coffee on her lap when taking the lid off of it while sitting in a car.

What happens when a game developer gets caught taking content from other, much larger and rather disliked companies and has their game pulled? Crowdfund the money that was lost in potential sales, of course. The best bit? $500 needed for the initial campaign, and the first $500 was contributed by Trek Industries, the developer of the game. The good news is they won't be suing anyone who caught them stealing, but they will send legal threats to anyone who says something negative about them. This whole thing is spectacular.

You start out with a small number of cards, and use those to buy more cards from a bunch of cards that are available to all the players. Cards can give you benefits, increase your final score, or hurt other players. Whoever has the most points in their deck at the end of the game wins I've played it a few times, it's fun.

That's the game that has cards of 8-12 year olds posing seductively right? It sounds like one of those things where the system itself could be amazing but the filler content is so terrifying one wouldn't want to touch it with a ten foot pole.

I believe all Robinson's is now sugar free as of like last year which caused a bunch of complaints among the general public but it tastes fine to me. For content, and to end this squashstarter derail, here's... some kind of thing! It's sort of like a kickstarter, for, something? Maybe?
