Friends was in a supermarket the other day. He bought an item labelled “Liquid Death”.
What the product actually was is something he never buys because he never needs it, but because of the fantastically insane name of the product he said he just had to buy it!
That product? The one named Liquid Death?
Do you want to know what it was?
It was a 12 pack of 500ml cans of water
This kind of marketing works, kids. Something so unexpected you just have to buy it!
IIRC liquid death also has some very good policies.
And it was originally created because drinking water isn’t cool, and musicians in bands wanted something to drink that looked like energy drinks or alcohol while staying hydrated. They mentioned bands filling empty monster cans with water as an inspiration.
Only in America does the coolness of drinking water ever factor into anything, coca cola successfully brainwashed the entire country lol
“Only in America” meaning the United States or the Americas or just North America?
I’m asking because there is a city in Mexico that drinks more Coca-Cola than water.
Yeah, but at least they have high sugar warnings on their beverages, so it’s likely nothing compared to what the US does with the only metric measured bottles available in the region (which are typically much cheaper too).
Also they actually use sugar. The United States imports Mexican Coca-Cola.
And not enough of it! There’s a few places I can find it
And who do you think used a lot money and political leverage to make that happen, hell coca cola even hired hit men to go after trade unionists, educate yourself
What the actually fuck is this response for asking what you meant by “America”?
If you truly can’t understand what America refers to in this context then you are too dumb to waste my time replying
Well first off instead of answering with a couple words, you decide to insult my intelligence and talk about how valuable your time us. So you are lying and your time isn’t valuable at all.
Second, note this is Lemmy is internationally open. Look up the term “America” and what it can refer to.
Third if I describe something and it fits your description, than why would I be illogical for just asking a question of what are you referring?
Do you not see the flaw to your logic?
I think it’s more beer than coke. It’s also for like drinking with friends and not standing out if you don’t like alcohol but the rest do.
Edit: maybe I should say also for alcohol rather than more for alcohol.
I saw 6 bands during 2 concerts last week, three of them kinda rock/blues, three of them metal. All of them drank water from normal water bottles while on stage. No one cared.

My bad, I’m just used to saying bottled, not canned. Fixed 👍
Omg I haven’t had canned water in 20+ years, that shit was amazing!
Edit: well fuck, it’s sparkling water.
They have excellent iced tea, too. They’re sweetened with agave nectar, so the whole 20 ounce can only has like 6 grams of sugar and isn’t too sweet.
They have normal water as well.
What about boxed water?
They have a plastic lining!?!? Crazy.
Yeah! All aluminum cans have a thin plastic lining. So do soup cans. They’re still both better than plastic packaging, but it just shows how difficult it is to completely remove plastic from your life.
I drink a lot of beverages that come in aluminum cans so I am reaaaally hoping that they have less microplastic risk than 100% plastic packaging does.
It’s always so surprising. I heard somewhere that even glass bottles have a lot of microplastics in them because the paint from the top of the bottle tops gets into the drinks when they seal them. It’s crazy out there.
They’re still both better than plastic packaging
Citation needed. Aluminum needs much more energy.
Aluminum is infinitely recyclable
As is CO2.
No joke, their Dr Pepper imitation is delicious and 10 calories per can.
They also have an iced tea called Death to Billionaires which I appreciate.

There is so much of that kind of marketing at this point, that it had not occurred to me until reading this discussion that “Liquid Death” was intended to ironically over the top.

“Made by combining Ganges river water, Mexican tap water, and samples directly from the Fukushima reactor, Liquid Death won’t just slake your thirst, it will slay it for the rest of your life.”
Everyone who died had water in them. Really makes you think…
Liquid Death is just an overpriced can of water, right?
In essence, yes. It fills a small niche and a can isn’t as bad as a plastic bottle but in the end it’s water in a can.
It would be far less wasteful to set up the logistics for something refillable. Expensive initially, but once the logistics and the culture for it have been developed, cheaper too.

I would never buy bottled water either, but I do have an unopened can of liquid death standing around because it’s such a fantastic can. Guests do ask me about it, or pick it up, sometimes. It’s always disappointing to them and that’s what I feed on.
This you?
I am that cool.
Delightfully devilish, Seymour
Must be really nice beneath that rock your friend has been living under for literally years.
This isn’t an actual product just fyi it’s done by an artist.

It says right on the package.
High Vitamin D
Between that and the “100% Grass” half-and-half next to it…I gotta check out the dairy case at my dispensary. Usually they just have ice cream.
THC infused coffee creamer would make for the best hippie speedball.
I’ve done that by simmering milk with the ABV and straining. It’s a little barbaric but it does work.
Better than expected too!
PLEASE DRINK ME
She nasty. I like it
It’s just tit juice. Why does it need to be any more freaky?
It already is freakier than that. It’s tit juice created via the industrial mass rape of billions of cows worldwide, that are kept in cramped and dirty conditions and seperated from their offspring at birth, so their tit juice can be harvested for profit and human consumption.
yes, as we’ve done for thousands of years.
Dairy and meat consumption on the scale humanity is currently consuming is very new.
The industrial mass rape of billions of animals and horrifyingly massive numbers of livestock animals now on earth, is not a ‘natural’ thing either.
Wild mammals make up only 4% of mammal biomass on earth now, 62% is livestock and 34% is humans.
Just because your ancestors had no other means of survival but to consume animals and their excretions, does not mean that it is healthy, natural, or wise for to be breeding and consuming livestock at the scale people are now.
actually it’s scaled with humanity. literally, more humans, more livestock.
I’m not going to argue the industrial practices aren’t unsustainable and harmful, but we’ve been doing it for thousands of years.
Delicious
Stealing breast milk from another species is pretty damn weird, so probably that.
Calling udders “breasts” is pretty weird bro.
I like to call them “long nipples”.
Details shmetails. A teat is a teat. Would you prefer “mammary milk” to be technically correct?
Fun trivia: Did you know, the only other animals to have 2 thoracic and no other teats, besides anthropoids, are elephants and anteaters?
You still got figure who was the first human to see them utters and decided they wanted to try that there cow milk. I mean did they suck straight from the utter like the calves? So basically yes those are cow breast.
You haven’t lived till you fellated a thick milky udder.
…you know the majority of our species straight up eats members of other species.
So do most other species.
Looking into nature… No… No there are far weirder things than that.
Literally every organism on earth survives off of other organisms. Well, except lichen, that shit can eat rocks
Lichen takes a likin’ to those minerals.
Yet, incredibly delicious
It is pretty weird though I personally love cheese which is even more grim. That being said, do you know that milk probably developed from sweat? That makes it even weirder imo.
They milked the bulls for this…
That looks like it came straight out of Sausage Party.
It is high in crowtein.
Don’t get that on your skin!
Soylent White?
If this ain’t purple I’ll be disappointed.
grimace
Big ol’ carton o’ Grimace nut
It’s milk, but from bulls instead of cows.
Nut milk comes from male cows.
69 calories per cup…
That’s when you accidentally milk a bull.
Face from nick jr.?
Christ you pulled that memory out of a basement I didn’t even realize I had
I’m 39 I watch the crap out of it when I was a kid…
Looks like Face wants some Stick Stickly.
Incidentally Stick Stickly is what I call my tallywacker.
High in Vitamin D…
ick
