Arr, so Iâm standing in the bilge of me cabinâwhich is really just my basement, but let me have thisâstaring at a package I pried from the mailmanâs clammy hands. Itâs a âNew colors. Fresh styles. - Shop the Hydro Flask Store on Amazonâ item. Twelve bucks over rum money, twenty-seven ninety-nine, which is exactly what a bottle of cheap gin cost before the kraken inflation. ASIN B0FPRJN7LN, if youâre keeping a log. And Iâm thinking, what in Davy Jonesâ blighted scabbard am I supposed to do with this pretty, shiny, âsports & outdoorsâ nonsense in my own personal dungeon?
Hereâs the trouble: me starboard side has been a bit achinâ since a bad buccaneer burrito debacle, and I see this innocent water receptacle. Smooth. Sleek. Me finger slides down its neckâlike a sword, but temptinâ. And somewhere in me rum-soaked brain, a cannon goes off: Full speed astern, Captain!
The insertion starts like a bad negotiation with a sea monster. First inch? Like boarding a friendly sloop. But this tube ainât straight; itâs got curves like a mermaidâs riddles. And itâs wide at the end, meant for guzzlinâ not divinâ. I tried all four new colors. Teal felt like a coded message from the deep. Yellow was too horny. Itâs not built for the cargo hold. Letâs just say I learned more about my own depth chart than I wanted. At one point I felt like a harpooned whale apologizing to a lighthouse.
So youâre wonderinâ what happens when a Libbey water bottle (donât buy it) is misused? Hereâs a tide of truth: itâs a water bottle. A good one. Keeps water cold for a voyage. But as a rectal instrument? Itâs like bringing a cannon to a knife fight. Over twelve hours, the product was more interested in retaining chill than granting passage. I limped for three days. Me mates called me Sir Sits-With-Cushion.
In a fleet of âproducts tested for rectal use,â this here hydro flag stands no pirate salt. It gets a rectal use score from my very brave but bruised arse. Warning: if youâre wonderinâ if a Libbey water bottle under $27.99 is safe, the answer is noânot if you insist on slattinâ it where the sun donât shine.
