Lotusphere water bottle collection

Karl-Henry Martinsson  |    |  Tags:  geek water lotusphere  |  Comments (3)

Over the years I got a small collection of Lotusphere water bottles. It started in 2003 when I ended up with a couple of extra bottles in my backpack on the last day, and I brought them home with me. The next year I picked up a couple again to drink at the airport while waiting for my flight, and I got one leftover as well. Since then I made sure I bring home at least one bottle per year for my little collection.

This year I noticed that the older bottles were squished, like there were vacum inside. The older they were the more squished. I let some air in and noticed that it seems like water is evaporating despite the bottles being closed. Quite interesting, since there was a vacum inside. It seems like the water evaporates and get out, while air is not able to get in. The bottles have been stored above the washer, with the dryer a few feet away. Might be the temperature that did it.

i just discovered your blog via planet lotus. nice! i have family in sweden, a few generations removed now. i'm basically half swedish (or perhaps a bit less than half) and half irish.

this is an interesting entry. a little strange, that you keep all those old water bottles. it's the sort of thing i might do as well, although i happen not to have in this case. lol.

welcome to the blogosphere!

2 Karl-Henry Martinsson      Permalink I guess everyone is collecting something. I also (kind of) collecting t-shirts, even if my (now ex-)wife threw away a huge amount when we moved to the US ten years ago. Including several Lotus ones...
