(unless you're in Las Vegas or some other western hell hole). It's nonsense to think you need to carry water around all the time, a total gimmick that's been sold to us. And if you want to - there is a sink nearby, I guarantee, where you can fill a normal bottle up. Real people drink tap water. (unless you're in Las Vegas or some other western hell hole).

That's a lot of water for the filter! @Jen Agreed, it's not many uses. The bottle, converted from Australian dollars, is about $29.50. Replacement filter is $11.50. A reasonable price for the bottle in relation to others in the market, but the minimal uses on the filter? Not so much. @Sandy, snark aside, I agree, if people aren't satisfied with the quality of their tap water (which in many cases they're justified in being so) taking action to improve it is a good move. And, in the current economic climate, doing overhauls of municipal/on site water processing is not likely to be a high priority. So something like this is helpful. Beyond being a trend, people are frequently dehydrated and don't realize it, causing issues with being able to focus, also inclining people to poor food choices (when dehydrated we often reach for sweets or in general snack more, the brain giving us a signal that's interpreted as "I'm hungry") So having water nearby and being in the habit of drinking it is a proactive thing to do. @Tom that's good to know there's a domestic option.

"Not going to happen"? The marketers have done a good job making people think tap water is 'uncool' and that you need to buy stupid things like this and carry them with you everywhere like a baby bottle. If something is wrong with your tap water (which there probably isn't) why don't you do something about it? Why not demand better water at work or in drinking fountains?

If this bottle is intended to be one you can carry everywhere with you, you're talking about multiple filter changes a year. How much do they cost? What do you do with them when you're done? 100 uses doesn't seem like very many to me.

The filter is good for 100 gallons, is replaceable and the 25 oz. bottle has an attractive hourglass figure. At $39.95 it provides water quality security and unbreakable carrying convenience. I've used it and recommend it. A company in Southern California, EcoUsable has had a stainless steel bottle with a water filter embedded in the screw on lid for a year or so.
