Abstract: The Frozen Bottle of Water as a product is a regular plastic bottle of drinking water weighing 2oz., contains 30 mls, 359 mls tall by 21 cm circumference and is 3/4 filled and made frozen.  A working concept of the meaning of frozen is 6 hours or overnight. Its content is ice only. Its cold ness and its built-in clock from frozen to melt, allow lots of time for planning and logistics in time of disaster. It waits for you to plan your strategies and wait for you with a cool drink after. Drivers of refrigerated trucks can turn off their engines, take a nap and save gasoline for up to eight hours after freezing. It melts immediately and in 15 minutes there is water to sip and ice remains in it for up to 8 hours if left standing. It stays colder longer, melts quickly and quenches your thirst better. It is recommended anywhere people are. In disaster and rescue the frozen bottle of water relieves stress faster. It is a hand-held and is carried easily. You can make this product yourself and commute with one or two instead of a crate of regular water. It allows you to plan ahead parties and meals because of it long melt time. Teamed up with other frozen products such as the orange juice it makes good party drinks. Freeze some of your water in a cookie cutter for your pet in summer time. He can lick it in the heat wave.  This product is not on shelves presently but can likely be sold all year round for its multi-purpose use and flexibility as a tool as well. Under normal conditions this product cannot be rushed so you can spend hours of conversations in slow traffic on the highway during heat waves. Within its built- in time clock you can please your individual differences of it variety of temperatures. As a product it is full of translations beside a lit candle having wine and cheese. Watch out romance!  See Figure 1, 1a 2, 2.a.     The New Bottle The newly proposed frozen bottle is the newly designed food/water bottle but without the use of food. Everything is the same otherwise. Incase the new frozen bottle needs to be used as a food/water bottle, it is ready. This makes it multi-functional. This bottle has the disk but no food is meant to sit on it when used for drinking. See Fig 6, 6a. 6b.
