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

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.

Yes and it’s still infinitely recyclable, unlike plastic bottles. 70% of all aluminum ever produced is still in circulation thanks to how efficient aluminum recycling is, including epoxy lined cans.

So I will enjoy.

Never bought it, never will. I don’t understand people sometimes.

Well, it’s better than plastic bottles. If you’re at a concert or event, then it’s probably the sensible choice.

Which concert doesn’t sell drinks in (reusable) cups?

And for festivals I still will go with some 5L canisters full of water over a lot of cans

What bougie venue you been to that uses anything more fancy than a clear solo cup? Every concert I’ve been to in the last… 5 years at LEAST has been either a plastic bottle with the cap removed, a clear plastic cup, or a liquid death.

I used to get them all the time. I’m basically addicted to carbonated water and these offer tall can versions vs plastic bottles or smaller cans.

Eventually I just switched to a sodastream though, waaay cheaper
