    Is that why they are marketing water like this now?

    I KNEW it was fishy. I’m going to stick to soda, vodka and beer instead, thank you very much.

      That’s water for people who want to avoid alcohol in a crowd and don’t want rando douchebags commenting on drinking water. That water saves a lot of headache for the user in the right circumstances and I will never fault it for that.

        I have also bought one of these with a beer cuz it’s in a can and survives my walk through the crowd and it’s not a plastic bottle.

        I feel like liquid death is so widely known now that the initial idea for it didn’t work anymore. Still, I’m a hydrohomie so I’m so good peeps driving it but I’d personally rather just get some tap water with a tiny bit of cordial in it at a gig or something

      I really don’t know how this brand is thriving. I can’t tell if people are buying it ironically or buying it because they think it’s edgy

        It’s often the only water I see available at concerts these days. I mean it’s fine, it tastes like water, and the can is more recyclable than plastic bottles.

          They pay live nation a fortune to be the exclusive water. Love nation then charges $5+ a can

          They do get immediately recycled though. At least in the venue I worked at

            God I fucking hate it when I buy a can of water and it immediately turns into something else. Why did they sell me an instant recyclable can? I still need it to be a can, at least for a little bit

          That’s true, not bashing the idea of water in a can, just makes me laugh that the brand is like “our product goes so hard” when it’s just water in a can. I guess product design can make all the difference. I would be more likely to buy it if it was like no name https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Name_(brand) and was just SPRING WATER on a can

                There’s always one asshole. One guy too bro to have someone not drinking, or one person who just wants you to have a good time and won’t take no for an answer. Having something that looks mildly craft beer-like makes both of those scenarios less likely to occur.

                  I don’t know what’s worse - that these people exist or that there’s a product specifically designed to fool them.
