An edible water bottle that wobbles like a breast implant will go on sale within a year.

The Ooho! is a squidgy globe filled with water that could change the way we stay hydrated forever.

The bubble-like spheres were first invented by a trio of engineers in 2014 but the inventors are now fundraising to get their edible bottles on the market.

An edible water bottle that wobbles like a breast implant called Ooho! will go on sale within a year

HOW ARE OOHO! BUBBLES MADE? The Ooho sphere has a double gelatinous membrane. It is made using a mixture of sodium alginate, taken from brown algae, and calcium chloride. The spheres are created using gelification - a technique used in cooking to turn liquids into gel by adding an edible gelling agent. The inventors experimented with various spherification techniques, using different ingredients and proportions, before settling on the Ooho final ‘recipe’. Packaging labels can be added to the Ooho, between the two layers, without adhesive, and are edible too, if they’re made from rice paper, for example. Advertisement

The engineers said their 'mission is to make packaging waste disappear'.

'Ooho! is a sustainable packaging alternative to plastic bottles and cups, made from a seaweed extract,' they said on their crowdfunding page.

'It is entirely biodegradable and so natural you can actually eat it.

'Ooho sachets are flexible packets of water, drunk by tearing a hole and pouring into your mouth, or consumed whole.

'Our packaging is cheaper than plastic and can encapsulate any beverage including water, soft drinks, spirits, and even cosmetics.'

The engineers are now raising around $500,000 (£400,000) so that they can bring their product to market.

Each globule contains nine ounces (250ml) of water.

The spheres cost approximately 2 cents (less than a penny) a unit to make. There is currently no retail price.

The team hope to start selling their squishy spheres at music festivals and marathons within 12 months.

'Liquid forms drops because the liquid exhibits surface tension,’ said Ooho!'s creators Rodrigo Garcia Gonzalez, Pierre Paslier and Guillaume Couche.

‘Bounded completely or almost completely by free surfaces.'

‘Ooho replicates this behaviour, encircling the water in an edible membrane of algae.'
