What if you could plop a strange orb of water into your mouth instead of keeping a water bottle on deck? Thats the goal of Skipping Rocks Lab, a London startup seeking to prevent 1 billion water bottles from reaching the ocean each year. Their product has a name appropriate for the delight of its novelty: ooho!
The ooho! is a ball of water surrounded by a biodegradable, edible membrane made of seaweed extract. You can tear it open and pour it in your mouth or simply eat the whole thing.

(12,422 posts)The pitcher costs $29.99 and filters are $6.99 each and will do 40 gallons, which equates to $94.40 in the kind of bottled water I buy. The breakthrough for me is you don't have to wait for the water to filter like the old Brita pitchers. I normally go through two or more 12-packs of Poland Spring 700ml bottles a week. Of course, this is on top of what I pay the town for my water, about $80 a year.
