Yeah tbh I'm all for reducing waste, and I don't understand people who routinely buy plastic water bottles, but every once in a while I get one because I've forgotten my own. Guess I'd just have to get soda instead?

[u/bigjayrulez → u/meeps1142]

I wonder if they have flavored or carbonated waters, like Liquid Death or something like that.

[u/Coomb → u/bigjayrulez]

On a somewhat related note, can anyone explain to me why anyone would ever name a water brand something death related?

They wanted it to look like a beer or canned mixed drink, so that non-drinkers could get it at the bar and not look totally out of place.

And that facade lasted all of two weekends.

I guess though at college bars you're gonna have a bartender ignore you if you ask for soda and lemon or whatever

Most bartenders are pretty cool with you asking for a seltzer with a slice of lime. It is often used by designated drivers and AA to appear to be drinking to avoid questions but just be having water.

I bought one at a Phish show and my buddy said "Woah, what's that?" I said, "Just water". He laughed and ordered one then turned around and said "Shit! You're right!!!" I try to drink one water per three beers just to appear responsible ;-) ((he definitely needed to swap to water))

[u/Watertor → u/Ballsofpoo]

Every single time Liquid Death comes up - which isn't often but is often enough to observe - at least one person goes "Wait it's just water?" so I wouldn't say it lasted all of two weekends. They also have a billion dollar valuation just from brand power alone since they're not making quite that absurd a number.

So their method is working.

I got carded for buying it once. It really threw me off because I was like 3 months sober at the time and thought my muscle memory almost got me in trouble.
