         5 . The bottle assembly according to  claim 4 , wherein the indicia is located along the central body portion so as to indicate a level which is equal to or less than one-half of a total volume of the cavity of the bottle. 
     
     
         6 . The bottle assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the base portion is connected to the bottom portion via an annular recess. 
     
     
         7 . The bottle assembly according to  claim 6 , wherein the base portion includes an annular base corner wall interconnecting the annular recess and the base wall. 
     
     
         8 . The bottle assembly according to  claim 7 , wherein the annular base corner wall of the base portion has a fillited outer profile. 
     
     
         9 . The bottle assembly according to  claim 8 , wherein the base portion includes an annular recess interconnecting the base wall and the base corner wall, and wherein the annular recess extends completely therearound. 
     
     
         10 . The bottle assembly according to  claim 9 , wherein the nipple of the bottle has a substantially flattened profile and extends from the base wall by an amount so as to not project beyond a bottom-most plane of the base portion of the bottle. 
     
     
         11 . The bottle assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the nipple of the cap has a substantially flattened profile and extends from the top wall thereof by an amount so as to not project beyond a top-most plane of the cap. 
     
     
         12 . The bottle assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the first diameter of the cap is 2.0-2.25 inches. 
     
     
         13 . The bottle assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the top wall and the side wall of the cap, together, define a cavity therein which is configured to receive the cap receiving rim of the bottle therein. 
     
     
         14 . The bottle assembly according to  claim 1 , further comprising an adhesive securing the cap to the cap receiving rim of the bottle. 
     
     
         15 . The bottle assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the cap is coated in a resin. 
     
     
         16 . The bottle assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of:
 the outer annular rim of the top wall of the cap; and   the annular rim of the base portion of the bottle,   includes a coating of an elastomeric material entirely therearound.   
     
     
         17 . A cap for selectively connection to a bottle, the cap comprising:
 a contoured top wall having a concave profile and defining an outer annular rim and a central nipple projecting upwardly from the top wall, wherein the outer annular rim has a fillited outer profile, wherein the top wall includes an annular recess formed therein and extending completely therearound, and wherein the nipple cap has a substantially flattened profile and extends from the top wall thereof by an amount so as to not project beyond a top-most plane of the cap; and   an annular side wall depending from the top wall and tapering from a first diameter near the top wall to a second diameter, smaller than the first diameter, at a location spaced from the top wall.   
     
     
         18 . The cap according to  claim 17 , wherein the cap is coated in a resin. 
     
     
         19 . The cap according to  claim 17 , wherein the outer annular rim of the top wall of the cap includes a coating of an elastomeric material entirely therearound. 
     
     
         20 . A game, comprising:
