Liquid Death? It's just fucking water. There's already water in your house you don't need a fucking can with a threatening name for it.
I heard the branding was to help recovering alcoholics, so they don't feel like they're "missing out," and won't stand out so much with a scary can instead of a water bottle/glass. So they can still crack a cold one with the boys and such.
I'd believe this with how much I see Steve-O drinking it on his YouTube channel. The dude made a point to drive a whole ass vending machine of Liquid Death across the country to his new home lol. At his previous home in California, it was apparently up against the coping of the half pipe in his backyard so you could do trick off of it.
That's pretty cute. I support this.
eh I find their tall boys of sparking water have made it so I hardly drink alcohol at all now.
It's worth $1.57 to fool my brain, and certainly cheaper than the same amount of beer.
I had heard that's the point, to a degree, or at least to help people with a drinking problem not feel ostracized while out with friends.
Okay, but their teas are actually pretty darn good and not loaded with sugar. I agree about the water though.
(Although, aluminum is essentially infinitely recyclable compared to plastic, so is probably a better alternative to bottled water)
Hate to break it to you, the inside of cans are still lined with plastic. Still marginally better than plastic bottles though.
If you have a local filtered water supplier you can bring a large reusable container and refill water from there. That way you still get the filtered water taste but cut out shipping
My local filtered water supplier is the fucking city I pay taxes to and it's just fine. I don't understand why so many people are afraid of tap water. I can download fifty fucking years of water testing data. I can get my home water tested for free every year. And you still have these assholes out here who drink nothing but plastic bottled water because it's $5 per case from Aldi. That shit should have at least $5 of taxes added to it which go straight to the municipal supply.
Nothing wrong with tap, it's the best choice if your city has proper mechanisms to ensure tap water quality. Unfortunately not all cities invested in good infrastructure. Theres still a couple of US cities with either bad pipes or local water pollution
I'm not afraid of tap water but, in the city I live in, it tastes like pool water and I find that highly unpleasant.
I've heard of kids who have been too corrupted by drink marketing to drink water drinking liquid death. If it gets demographics who wouldn't otherwise drink water to drink water I can't get upset about it
while i am a proponent that different brands of water is different and there is a difference in taste, ill never defend overpriced water.
like you arent going to give me a bottle of arrowhead water.
Arrowhead is the nastiest ~~bottled~~ water ever. If someone gave that shit to me instead of just local tap water, I'd be insulted.
It is tap water.
From the rustiest taps in the world. It's so metallic tasting, I'm surprised it's not a brownish orange color.
Costco seltzer packs are a much better/cheaper choice.
I hope you guys are memeing because getting passionately mad over guy branded stuff that we just find kinda neat is a new level of stupid I haven't been exposed to yet. I want my asshole to smell like mint, so I buy dude wipes. I want canned water to cut down on plastic usage, so I buy liquid death. I want a burger that's not made of animals so I buy a beyond burger. Beyond what? I don't fucking know I just want a burger.
It's not that deep.
Why did you moo? Are you the cattle? Actual retard.
Why ask if I am something only to then claim I am that very thing? You really have problems, guy.
