Ha, that'd be pretty cool to see!

Apparently they can filla whole flask in just a couple of seconds, so the delay might not be too bad if there's no lines. Though even those few seconds stopped is a big hit to momentum compared to grabbing a cup—or your idea of essentially a drinkable waterfall.

But even with the waterfall, there's still the added weight of carrying all that water with you. Not ideal.

I mean given folks drink one and splashone in the face maybe they will just look up and grab a mouth full and skip the container.
