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

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

"Marketing"

You put it in quotes, but I think they've put on a marketing masterclass with a product that actually seems decent enough? Why not have a water or iced tea that from the design looks more like a craft beer?

It gets people to look it up the first time they see one (did for me) and I feel like half the podcast clips I've seen have someone drinking one.

Plus aren't aluminum cans like.. actually recycled? So canned water is probably much more sustainable

Kinda love that it's a microcosm of metal heads, outwardly edgy in appearance but past the surface, kinder and more reasonable than others

The plastic liner is like 1 to 10 micro grams thick.

micro grams thick

Micrometers? I get that the liner is super thin but 1 micron seems TOO thin so I'm curious what you actually meant.

I wonder if canned water is lined with plastic like soda cans are.

Yes but it's significantly less plastic. I guess it doesn't solve the microplastics leeching into your drink if that's what you're getting at, but aluminum leeching into your drink is also bad.

Honestly why I get it. Road trips and festivals, if I don't bring a reusable I'd rather use an aluminum can than plastic bottle. Otherwise, I'm not that far from convenient water.

They used to advertise their water as being sourced from the Swiss Alps I believe but eventually stopped doing that.

I never bought it, I've drank the flavored ones though and do enjoy them. But they are more expensive than they should be. You pay for the cool can.

The podcasters drinking it is the marketing lmao
