I got this great lit­tle plug thing for my Powell’s Nal­gene bot­tle on Fri­day called Splash­Guard.  It works as adver­tised, pro­tect­ing you from a face full of water from the wide-mouth bot­tle if you drink too fast.  The only flaw is that it is made of this sil­i­cone rub­ber mate­r­ial with a dis­tinct smell.  I know it does not change the taste of the water, but because taste and smell are so inter­linked, it sort of feels like I’m drink­ing from a snorkel and div­ing mask.  I imag­ine this will go away over time, though.  I hope.
