The HydraDuo: Two Beverages, One Bottle

Quirky.com is a social product development site where people submit product ideas and then others can contribute to the design on the products path to production. They have produced everything from a compact luggage scale, to a rainwater collector for plastic bottles.

Using its special crowd sourced design process, Quirky has recently finished up a new kind of reusable water bottle. It is called the HydraDuo which features two removable 8 oz. containers in one bottle. This way, if you can't decide what beverage to fill your bottle with or water is simply not enough, you have choices.

The top of the bottle is also designed to allow you to easily drink one liquid without it mixing with the other. That way you can have water and iced coffee or your favorite spirit and a chaser with no mixing.

Is this one of those ideas that seems useful in theory but no one really needs? The great thing about Quirky is that if a product does not reach its pre-order threshold, it is never produced. The HydraDuo, at the moment, has sold 116 of the required 980 to go into production.

If you think this is a great idea, pre-order here. They go for $17.50 each.
