Did you know that a little water poured over the face of a gravestone can often make it more legible? It’s true! Try it. Maybe even try it by using one of these hot cool new water bottles!
Or use it at the cemetery to stay hydrated. Or to water your dog. Or to start a water fight. Whatever. You just gotta have one!
