🍼 LinkedIn Pinpoint 667 Answer — Baby, Squeeze, Coke, Spray, Hot water
Published: February 26, 2026 · Answer: Types of bottle
"Hot water" — that's the clue that finally made it click, and honestly, it's the one I least expected.
I started with "Coke" and went down a beverage rabbit hole. Coke, squeeze (like fresh-squeezed juice?), spray (sparkling water spray?)... I was assembling a "drinks" category that didn't quite hold together.
"Baby" derailed that theory. Baby drink? Baby formula? Sure, but "Spray" as a drink made no sense. I pivoted to thinking about "things you squeeze" — squeeze a baby (please don't), squeeze a Coke can?
Then "Hot water" appeared and everything reshuffled. A hot water bottle. That's a specific thing. And if I add "bottle" to every clue — baby bottle, squeeze bottle, Coke bottle, spray bottle, hot water bottle — they ALL work perfectly.
Five completely different containers, all called bottles. A baby bottle feeds infants. A squeeze bottle dispenses ketchup. A Coke bottle is iconic. A spray bottle mists cleaning fluid. A hot water bottle keeps your feet warm in winter.
The misdirection here is brilliant. "Coke" makes you think of the drink, not the container. Classic Pinpoint — hiding the obvious behind the expected.

🔍 Solving Patterns
- Think container, not contents. "Coke" pulled me straight to the beverage, but the puzzle wants the bottle it comes in. When you see a product name, ask yourself: is the answer about the thing itself, or about how it's packaged/delivered/held? This container-vs-contents flip is a classic Pinpoint misdirection.
- Test compound words. Baby bottle, squeeze bottle, Coke bottle, spray bottle, hot water bottle — adding "bottle" after each clue produces five real phrases instantly. Whenever clues feel like adjectives or modifiers, try appending common nouns (bottle, box, bag, ball) and see what sticks.
- Unexpected clues confirm the answer. "Hot water bottle" is an unusual, slightly old-fashioned item — the kind of thing that doesn't appear in everyday conversation. When an oddball clue fits your theory perfectly, that's strong confirmation. Common answers can be guessed; niche ones prove the pattern.
- Don't let brand names mislead. "Coke" triggers Coca-Cola associations so strongly that I forgot the bottle is the point. Brand names in Pinpoint are usually there to distract — look past the branding to the physical object or concept underneath.
FAQ
Q1: When was the iconic Coke bottle designed? The contour Coca-Cola bottle was designed in 1915 by the Root Glass Company in Terre Haute, Indiana. Its distinctive shape was intentionally created so it could be recognized by touch in the dark or even when broken.
Q2: Who invented the hot water bottle? The rubber hot water bottle was patented by Eduard Penkala, a Croatian inventor, in 1903. Before rubber versions, people used metal or ceramic containers filled with hot water, dating back to the 16th century.
Q3: Why are squeeze bottles shaped the way they are? Squeeze bottles are made from flexible polyethylene plastic designed to deform under hand pressure and spring back. The narrow nozzle creates higher pressure at the opening, allowing controlled dispensing of condiments and liquids.
