    Because the average person is stupid and will pay $4 for fucking water because it looks like an energy drink.

        This exactly. Unless you’re willing to drink from a communal jug that you can’t guarantee no one has opened or spiked it with anything. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t buy Liquid Death either. I just drink water before entering the venue. Also, this applies to smaller venues that only have a bar, not arenas that sell bottled water.

            In some smaller bars, they use large coleman type jugs with taps and a stack of paper cups. If you ask for water at the bar, they will point you to the jug.

          A communal jug?! Dafuq?! Why are your venues storing water in a communal jug?

      I just want portable water not in a plastic container. Also they’re like a buck fifty.

        All aluminum cans have a plastic epoxy liner.

        So enjoy.

        Yeah, I got mine for 98 cents a can. Highest price I’ve seen is like two bucks.

        I got news for you about modern cans if you’re trying to avoid plastic. They’re lined with, you guessed it, plastic.

          How much plastic? Not nearly the same amount and the bulk of the packaging is recyclable.

            Not sure if the concern was based on recyclability or consumption of microplastics. If the concern is about waste, then they should be using a reusable container instead.

      Liquid death is legit the best carbonated water though, the texture is more like beer rather than pop

          Bro’s talking about “texture” for sparkling water, how dare you not take him seriously?

            Lol fuck off have you tried it? If you did a blind taste test of carbonated waters you would easily be able to tell what I mean

              It must be exhausting to be so much smarter than everyone else. It’s certainly exhausting from the outside.

        People call me crazy, but I agree. It definitely has a cleaner taste and better overall mouth feel that most.

        Closest I think that compares might be topo chico, but it seems to go flat faster.

          It’s tap water in a can. Everything else is made up in your mind.

            I meant the carbonated version. All plain carbonated waters on the market taste / feel different to me and LDs just seems to be a notch better.

            Store brand ones taste metallic to me for some reason. Perrier bubbles are “tiny” feeling. Talking Rain is pretty good. Not a fan of La Croix.

              Give San Pellegrino a try. Little lime juice and salt for a salted lime soda or lime and mint for a virgin mojito.

      It’s embarrassing how stupid you have to be to pay this for some water. Sure if you’re in a pinch and there’s no other option. But regularly? Turnip brains

        it’s a testament to how so many people just simply shouldn’t exist and how society will probably never change until they don’t.
