What's the difference among the three choices? Size? Shape? Color? I like the purple color in the bottle pictured. If that's the water bottle, I'll go with it. I can store blood for transfusions in it, and the ADA authorities won't be able to tell because of the purple color.
They are all the same bottle, but I stacked up two just to make the photo a bit more compelling visually. :)

Come on, an extra week is not a good proposition for a Pinot fan.
That's still just 2 weeks in total so I'm sure even Pinot would make it :)
Anyway, I am afraid both of us are not eligible so congrats to Alpe as the 5th resident of the right country. I added my post just out of fun knowing the deadline had passed and therefore rules no longer applied.
But hey, if deadlines no longer matter, maybe the residence limitations are void, too!?!
 
Well, 28th, plus an extra week is now well past and nothing said.

Sounds like the whole thing was a sham, and restricting who could enter made it worse.

Kill off this stupid stuff please, the website is bad enough with ads posing as news, now you infest the forums with junk.

While I would not take on your obviously angry and frustrated tone (come on, man, it's just a water bottle), I am wondering...

What's going on, admins? Did I win a water bottle?

The suspense is just killing me!

Well, they go on about restricting entries because of possible legal problems in other countries that they didn't have the time to research, but forgot about the fact that the USA and UK probably have laws about sweepstakes that suck contestants (very few in this case too, that says something) in, but don't deliver a result.

Angry? Well I wouldn't have entered anyway (I stay away from all the on-line competitions, no matter what they are spruiking), but really, the way this shambles has been organised defies belief. I wonder what the sponsor thinks of how their product has been mis promoted.

I get the feeling the admins don't like us no more -

NO water bottles for US! :(
