It’s an addictive drug. Like Dennis Leary said, you could name them Death and make the packaging black with a skull and crossbones and people would buy two at a time.
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 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
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.
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.
"you could put them in a black pack, with a skull and cross bones, called Tumors! And people would be lining up around the block going, “these things look great, I bet you get a tumor as soon as you light up!”

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.

Fair enough.
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 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

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

It’s a good option to have in settings where you don’t want to drink but might get shit for not drinking.
Jeez, I’d rather just not be in such a toxic crowd.
You don’t always get a choice.

I don’t know what’s worse - that these people exist or that there’s a product specifically designed to fool them.
Can survives the walk back through the crowd better IMO
Cool can
Naw for alcoholics
They did: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_(cigarette)

In fact, thats how people buy cigarettes in every country that isnt the US. And they still keep smoking.

We kinda did this in the UK. All generic black packaging is with knarly images.

Or something like that.
The really addictive part isn’t even the nicotine though, it’s the several MAOI antidepressant compounds that are created when it gets burnt.
It’s the nicotine.
