Granted.
You open the bottle and take a nice refreshing drink. It's wonderful. It's cold. It's got a unique flavor that's just perfect. You couldn't be happier.
You drink from your water bottle all the time. Since it's infinite you quickly find yourself sharing it with others. Soon everyone in town knows about your amazing water bottle.
It isn't long before tales of your water bottle reach the news. No one believes it at first, but people from nearby towns start to visit and are amazed. Everyone swears it's the best tasting water they've ever had.
Soon companies and scientists are asking to see and use your water bottle. No one can explain it. It's otherworldly. It's magic. You're offered a large sum of money for access to your water bottle. You're unsure at first but eventually you make a deal with a shipping company who provides water to those most in need.
Soon the water provided by your water bottle is know world-round. Although you don't have your exact water bottle anymore, you still have access to your water, which still remains it's out of this world taste.
Then you see it on the news one day. Mars, it's collapsed. The former planet is now just chunks of rock, hurled in every which direction. Some chunks are heading towards Earth. There is no time to stop it. You accept fate and take a sip from your water bottle.
