It looks cool, but won’t that warm up the drink with our hands before drinking? Besides I never saw 0.5 kg of exercise weights, not sure if that’s usable at all.

how does this stop more plastic being used and entering the landfill sites? it is still a plastic bottle and will end up in the ground. your solution to the plastic water bottle material is to produce another plastic water bottle…

as for the weight is lame. even if you refill with sand or lead shot its not much and the grip is a water bottle.

but as a fad, i suppose it works to be directed as a specific sports drink it works well to capture the identity of the market.

good luck with it tho.

Those plastic botled dumbells are bio degradable, i hope

Just dumb.

My handbag weights more than that. Obviously, it is a marketing scheme to sell drink bottle to girls going at the gym. The design is kind of tacky. The new shape carries sponsorship potential, I guess. Personally, I would not buy it.

Great, so instead of lasting 30 minutes, it will last… what, 45 minutes?
Good try, but failed, IMO.

Awfull, fugly, impractical…..the name says it all…DUMBbell…..

Bad Idea Yanko

.5 kg (1.1 lbs) is not enough weight for any type of arm exercise suggested by the form. While it could be an interesting concept, the plain facts of physics discounts it to pure fancy. It almost makes me think a mid-level ID student did it. Giving added value to packaging is a difficult assignment since the inherent qualities of the form all point toward disposabilitiy. Maybe what we should be looking at is something that is easier to dispose of such as material shifts or even formal shifts like the movement away from tuna cans into tuna pouches.

except for the model in the shot the thng is a bust, not even worth it as a promo piece (unless biodegradeable/recyclable). The model is smoking though, so zippy gives it a fins up…..lesson to all the kiddies, when presenting a project include a hot model, might just tip the project into green light.

this is really not new. they were giving them out at the gym a couple years ago. they werent as stylish but they were more weight-like

i’ve seen that before…. thief!

I like it. You could go further though and make them modular so one could build an entire set of weights from them. It is featured on Plastico Fantastico .

Nice pics but “catastrophe écologique en vue! “

hey i like that… if only it was more than 0.5kg, but that would be too heavy for me to carry ard.. cool though

Maybe you could fill it up with something heavier?

hence the name DUMBell, crappy idea
