Abstract: A magnetic water bottle is disclosed that is amenable to mass production by automated manufacturing methods. In accordance with the present invention, the magnetic water bottle is re-useable, recyclable and disposable and may be made from plastic or glass. In one embodiment of the invention, one or more elongated magnets are received in axially orientated recesses. The magnets are held in place by a suitable adhesive or alternatively by a plastic strip ultrasonically welded over the magnet to hold it in place or alternatively are held in place by a friction fit. In an alternate embodiment of the invention, magnetic straps formed from bendable magnets are received in radially orientated recesses in bottle. The magnetic straps are held in place in a manner as discussed above.
