they should invent water for men

Good news OP

While this is a funny joke, as far as I’m aware this company is actually pretty cool, and the purpose behind the Liquid Death (sparkling or still) water is quite wholesome.

Part of the reason for it being a tallboy is that aluminum cans are more recyclable than water bottles, potentially infinitely so, while water bottles either have a limited amount of recyclability potential or aren’t actually recyclable at all.

The other reason is to literally make it more fun and appealing to drink something other than alcohol at concert venues. Part of getting over addiction or even getting away from a culture that is doing you harm is, in the US at least, heavily associated with becoming “no fun”. The idea here is to make water as fun in terms of packaging as alcohol, so people who are going sober, who can’t drink, or who are the Designated Driver don’t have to feel like they’re relegated to the “no fun zone” forever and still get to order something with a silly name. We had these at my brother’s wedding as an alcohol alternative and tbh it was really neat.

From the Liquid Death website:

“Most products in the health and wellness space are all marketed with \u201caspirational\u201d fitness models and airbrushed celebrities.\u00a0And many of us are tired of it.\u00a0Why should unhealthy products be the only\u00a0brands with \u201cpermission\u201d to be loud, fun, and weird? And let’s be honest,\u00a0almost all marketing and branding is just theater. So we\u2019re going to\u00a0treat our theater like a movie theater and have more fun with it.”

So yeah! If you want a neat alternative to buying bottled water, this isn’t a bad alternative. Also, if you feel like you miss the feeling of opening a can of beer and drinking one, especially with carbonation, this could help curb the urge without having to substitute soda.

Oh. So it was a stand against single use plastic, alcoholism culture, and eating disorders disguised as fitness.

saying this, she casually threw aside a large rock

Liquid Death is OK

When I was in LA this girl who put on parties got flats of Monster free just for promotional value, which she brought to use as mixers, but once realized she had brought a flat of Monster Water \u2013 which only existed so a tour sponsored by them could brand the water the bands drank between songs \u2013 and she had been pouring cheap shitty plastic handle vodka root
