Now, would it matter if the proceeds of the bottles were for charity? For some people it might.

All of the net profits from the bottles will go to Water For People, whose vision promotes 'a world where every person has access to reliable and safe water and sanitation services.'

The bottle, which comes in a variety of colors, was made by the popular brand BKR, whose silicone-wrapped water bottles usually cost $35.

The company claims that the price of one bottle will bring a month's supply of water to a person in need.

The bottles are flying off the shelves, which is great because it will help a lot of people.
