With the heat and humidity here in North Carolina we tend to drink a lot of ice water in our house (I rarely buy juice or soda). We normally use refillable containers, but I keep a case of water bottles in the garage fridge so when we go someplace we can all just grab a bottle and go. It’s just more convenient and you don’t have to worry about leaving your expensive Camelbak somewhere.
The problem with disposable water bottles is they all look alike. My kids will grab one, take a few drinks, and then put it down. When they come back for it a few minutes later there are five water bottles all sitting in the same general area and they have forgotten which one is theirs. What’s a girl to do? Go get another one, of course! Even if the first one was nearly full. I was dumping barely used water bottles into the dogs’ water bowl several times a day. What a waste!
Drink Duets to the rescue! These fun, colored tags slip over the bottleneck of your water, soda, beer–whatever you are drinking–so you always know which one is yours! Drink Duets are soft, waterproof and each package contains 12 different colored tags. Plus you can customize them any way you want.
My girls LOVE to decorate the tags with Sharpies, glitter glue, stickers, whatever is handy! They also use Drink Duets to “mark” their drinks in the fridge. So if they bring home something from school they put a tag on it to announce, “Don’t drink my water!” to the rest of the clan–occasionally it actually works. 😉
Drink Duets are perfect for parties! Stick one on each bottle in your cooler and leave a couple of Sharpies close by (I actually tried one to each handle of the drink trough so they wouldn’t “walk away”.) And I bet you will find when you clean up, there aren’t so many half-full drinks sitting around because people actually KNOW which drink is theirs!

Keeping track of bottles is a problem, I have with my co-workers. We share a small classroom refridgerator, so by using these tags, we can stop worrying about bottle mix up.
Those are really cute and such a great idea for when you have a party at home.
I have not seen those before, but that looks like an awesome idea for a party and keeping drinks from getting mixed up!
What an awesome idea, and great for parties. I can see everyone decorating their own to take home after the party! And like you, we have way too many partially used water bottles around because people forget which one is theirs.
This is a great idea! It's so hard to keep track of whose drink is whose. I've never heard of anything like these & will have to check it out.
