New, what is it? I found this handy dandy, purple plastic tube.

What practical purpose could this have? What should/can I do with it?

I mean, we can't necessarily fault the person handing out samples.

But--siiiggghhhh--of course they have a schpiel about how it's so awesome. Who is so busy, they somehow only have one hand to fix their water???

Several years ago, the first time I mentioned how wasteful the tubes are, I kid you not, they gave an example of someone on a bicycle being able to pop the top and dump it in their water bottle without having to stop. That guy was an employee of the Company (he said). No, I don't blame the person doing the demo; they've been told what to say. Just last week I chatted with the guy at our local Costco about the off the charts B12 and that my doc has recommended I cut back or quit whatever I'm taking (I only drink half daily). He said he drinks up to 5 daily.
