Here's a new product that just makes you want to slap yourself. It's an adapter to attach a baby bottle nipple to any water bottle with a screw type opening. It was invented by the host of "Cheaters", Tommy Habeeb.
“I was inspired to develop the Water Bottle Nipple Adaptor when I was out with my children on a hot summer day and my infant son desperately needed a drink of water,†says Habeeb. “I knew there had to be a way to get him a clean drink of water without having to search for a store that sold baby bottles. Since infants are unable to swallow without using their sucking reflex, my son just seemed to choke while trying to drink from the typical “sport top†water bottles.â€
