Klein Bottles!

What do you get when you take two mobius loops, and glue their common edges together?
A Klein Bottle of course!

    These bottles are so sweet. I love just looking at them and how, like you said, you can't really put water into it that easily. These don't seem to have a practical use, besides being awesome. I might get one of these some day...
