good for long distance events like the marathon. Where do you stash them though, with a water bottle you can shove it in your backpack, bag and forget about it till you need some water, you can't stuff these in your pocket.
good idea though, if it saves billions of bottles being thrown away.
Anything they try, is better than not trying to do something, as our Planet, including our Oceans, is becoming an enormous dustbin, and we have to stop burying our waste in landfill sites, and come up with a better solution.
"The concept still faces several challenges - for example, ensuring the blobs remain clean before consumption."
Another example from the inventors, heard on Radio Scotland this morning is the fact that they can't stop seepage so a container is needed. No mention of what it would be made of but glass is too dangerous, especially for active sport and wood gives splinters.

Precisely, I'd not want to eat the container, don't know where it's been, who's handled it, what dusty shelf it sat on, nor how many rats widdled over it at the warehouse.
Glass is okay if it's going to be in the house otherwise you'd have a load of kids walking round with weapons.
It was mentioned on TV recently that they do they same with plastic. Put an extra 10p on a bottle so kids will return them...but where will they put all the recycling bins?
ummmm
I was once in a South of France supermarket, and in there there was a type of a conveyor belt on which one placed their deposit bottles, and the equivalent cash was automatically deposited to you in a tray.
