Founded by two guys in Brooklyn, Fred Water is on a mission to reverse America–s staggering obesity trend by helping consumers drink less sugar and more water. The company is accomplishing its mission by creating pocket-friendly, refillable flasks designed to make water more convenient to carry and way cooler to drink. Fred Water signature flask bottles are disrupting the industry–s status quo by offering a clear alternative to the flimsy, single-use plastic bottles known for littering our oceans and landfills. All Fred flasks have the instruction “REFILL,” printed squarely on the front of the bottle, and they are available for purchase either filled with natural spring water from the USA, or empty for those who choose to fill with free water. Fred backs ALL water, not just “their” water, because backing water over sugar is more sustainable relative to people, planet and profit. Fred is sold in retailers nationally and online via .
Hydrate & Conquer. Refill & Respect.
