The Brita supertanker

I picked up the mothership of all Brita pitchers from the Deadhead Fred a couple of days ago. Yep. Brita calls it the "Ultramax", I suppose because it is the largest they could make a pitcher and still have it fit through the Panama Canal.

No more of this "four glasses and then remember to refill" crap. Nope. This thing could prepare a camel to cross the Sahara.

For some reason, I thought that this beast would fit on the top shelf of the house refrigerator. Nope. At least I can benefit from the exercise of slowly pulling the behemoth forward across the bottom shelf until the dispenser clears the vegetable drawer, then pushing it back after drawing yet another glass of fresh, tasty water.
