I remembering purchasing a fire hydrant bottle for my brother one year for his birthday. I was like 8, so I thought it was very cool. I'm not sure if he ever used it.

Love it! I have the "Cold Slap in the Face" hand-shaped bottle. It's by far my favorite.

Have an empty Old Spice Lighthouse bottle. May have to put Brut in it just to bait excommunication.
