As an in class assignment a partner and I scavenged for at least ten different types of water bottles. Looking only in the basement of the Knight Library of University of Oregon, we found much more than ten water bottles. The ten bottles above are the ones that are most representative of our findings. So what did we find people look for in a water bottle? Just about anything. From plastic to metal, disposable to reusable, decorated to self-customized, (and even one jar) we were surprised to find so many types of water bottles in just one place. We found that most of them had some type of loop handle to help users transport liquids on the go. Also, that bottles meant for hot beverages tended to have smaller necks, were better insulted and came with a make-shift lid-cup. Furthermore, disposable bottles tended to have a stronger brand image somewhere on the bottle, while reusable bottles downplayed company logos.
