Claim 6:
7. A device, comprising:
a bottle, wherein the bottle is configured to contain liquids for consumption by a user, the bottle is further configured to support a body weight of the user, and the bottle has a top-to-bottom length extending from a top end of the bottle to a bottom end of the bottle; and
a removable foam covering overlaid on a portion of an outer surface of the bottle, wherein the foam covering is configured to protect the bottle from physical damage, and the foam covering provides thermal insulation for the liquids contained in the bottle;
wherein the bottle and the foam covering together exert external pressure on one or more body parts of the user for myofascial release in response to the user rolling the one or more body parts with the bottle;
wherein the foam covering comprises a plurality of nubs protruding radially away from the outer surface of the bottle, and the plurality of nubs is distributed across the foam covering as alternating segments including at least one segment of a first surface texture and at least one other segment of a second surface texture;
wherein each segment of the first surface texture comprises a single array of nubs extending from a first side of the foam covering to a second side of the foam covering, all nubs of the single array have the same shape and dimensions, each nub of the single array is vertically spaced apart from another nub of the single array, and all nubs of the single array are arranged longitudinally along a first direction perpendicular to the top-to-bottom length of the bottle; and
wherein each segment of the second surface texture comprises a first sequence of nubs with alternating nub lengths arranged in a first alternating order and a second sequence of nubs with alternating nub lengths arranged in a second alternating order that is complementary to the first alternating order, each nub of each sequence has a nub length that is either shorter or longer than another nub of the same sequence that is directly adjacent to the nub, each nub of each sequence is horizontally spaced apart from another nub of the same sequence, all nubs of each sequence are arranged longitudinally along a second direction parallel to the top-to-bottom length of the bottle, all nubs of each sequence have the same shape, and the first sequence is disposed above the second sequence, such that each nub of the first sequence is positioned directly above and vertically spaced apart from another nub of the second sequence having a nub length that is either shorter or longer than the nub of the first sequence.
