Now that the potential for a class action lawsuit has persuaded the Nalge Nunc International Corporation to phase out the manufacture of Nalgene sports bottles, Geezer thirsts for an answer to one question: What will replace the colorful flock of Nalgene bottles that gathers on the sidelines of soccer fields shortly before game time? Beer bottles, which are often consulted in the aftermath of Geezer’s games, would render play even more laughable. Jot your favorite replacement in the comment function below. In the meantime, here’s the lowdown on Nalgene’s demise.

Drinking fountains, I hope. Water bottles are landfill fodder that most people don’t need.
Sigg bottles of course. Guaranteed chemical free and kinda expensive. They cost enough that gang kids will be stealing them and no one will be throwing them away.
Why were people toting/using them anyway? For the same reason they have cigarettes and/or the takeout coffee cup. A bit of status, a bit of security blanket. Sad.
I think that American made stainless steel is the way to go, light, strong and safe.
try SIGG bottles… http://www.mysigg.com
the best part is that they are not made out of plastic and come in extremely cool designs and colors
Camelbak bottles. They are now all currently BPA free.
Use a new Camelbak Bottle. It doesn’t have BPA in it (the bad chemical that is in the nalgene bottle that everyone is upset about). But you get to have your cool colors. They are just coming out. Aluminum and steel are ok, but you can see what’s in them. http://www.camelbak.com
Good luck finding American-made stainless steel bottles – 99% come from China !!
SIGGs from Switzerland have to be the best choice.
