UPDATE 9-17-2008: This bottle contains BPA. Fail.
I've been looking for literally months for a water bottle / beverage container that doesn't leak. Reason being that I like to bring my protein shakes with me to work and sip them throughout the day. Well, in the past... I've made quite a handful of messes. My car, my laptop carrying bag, my coat, shirts... the list continues. Last week I spied a nice looking water bottle on the receptionist's desk and hit the jackpot. What I was really looking for was a "leak proof" design (read: it has a rubber seal in it so it actually makes a seal rather than plastic against plastic like all you other idiodic beverage containers currently distribute). Here we are... the Rubbermaid Chug Bottle. Success! No drops, no drips... I am a happy fellow. The receptionist was nice enough to buy me one while she was at her local Meijer (since my Meijer didn't have one - I already checked). Awesome! Thanks Rubbermaid (and an even bigger thanks to the receptionist for being so cool and picking one up for me)!!!!!!!

So, like an idiot, I hadn't gone to the dentist in over three (3) years. The whole left side of my mouth felt like it was completely full of cavities and I was dreading going to a dentist. I finally broke down a couple weeks ago and went only to find out that I had no cavities but I'm grinding my teeth down to nothing.

I got to thinking about it and I've been addicted to orbit for about four (4) years now. If I run out throughout the day I end up having to go to the local super market and buy some gum. I believe this is what kept me from getting cavities. An article in the most recent reader's digest mentioned sugar free gum keeping your teeth healthy. I tried to find the article on their website but all I found was the following:

"Chewing sugarless gum stimulates the flow of saliva, which decreases acid and flushes out food particles." - Reader's Digest

At any rate, no cavities is well worth the money I spend on gum...
