This Water Bottle Shines Brighter Than the Rest
The Larq sounds like it would be one of those zany Dr. Seuss characters with an appetite for strangely colored food and more legs than we’re comfortable with, but it’s a revolutionary water bottle that self-sanitizes in three minutes via a UV-C light in the lid. Lab tests show it effectively neutralizes over 99.99% of the bacteria that gives us the dreaded water bottle stink.
Founder Justin Wang found himself surrounded by the Sharks when he presented Larq, walking away with a $1.5 million deal from Kevin and Lori and $10 million in sales since the episode aired earlier this spring. The bottles are on the pricey side, starting at $78, but consumers love the bougie bottles and hydrating without the germs.
