If you dont think social media is by far the worst thing humanity has ever encountered, you are behind the curve.

Sorry to dredge this up from days ago but I just love the little surprise "I'm fat!" payoff at the end. Of course a fatty would add sweetener to water!
Am I the only one who hates drinking water out of metal containers? I don't get this trend at all.

Sorry to hijack your post but it made me remember this GTA radio commercial
"If you don't replenish electrolytes as you work out you could DIE"
"Nooooo!"
"What ARE electrolytes?"
"Who cares! They're in extremely short supplies and we sell them!"

Air up bottles (packs with flavoured water like cola) have been making the rounds on annoying as fuck youtube adverts

I remember this trend started as a way to feel good about yourself for buying a bottle that was not made of plastic
. Kleen Kanteen is or was the biggest brand.Some people use metal bottles because they're worried about microplastics and xenoestrogens or whatever leaching from plastic water bottles into the water. Which is futile because that shit's already in the water supply and can't be effectively filtered out.
I think those are the two biggest factors that drive the metal bottle trend. That being said I have one and don't hate it. I only really bother to use it for camping/hiking tho

Metal bottles are generally a bit sturdier, and are less likely to leak if they're rattling around in your bag. I much prefer them to plastic, especially if I'm on a bush walk.

The fuck is that thumbnail? I already know what this product is from Youtubers promoting it themselves, and nothing is going to make me want to avoid it more than putting el goblina as the face of the product on top of that. And what is with marketing retards and trying to market (thing) not as the (thing) that it is? Is it supposed to be reverse psychology? Apple did it with the ipad a few years ago, 'what's a computer?' now this.

Nigger, that shit has been found in clouds, at the bottom of the sea, and the top of Mt. Everest. It's even in "organic" food. Deal with it.

It's not about if it's there at all, it's the amount of it there is. If you can try to avoid some it's going to be better than guzzling bpa. Comparing to radiation, the idea that nearly as many microplastics are miles in the sky as in a city is like a guy holding a banana and screaming he's in chernobyl.

It's worse than that, what they're selling is perfume you put around the bottle nozzle to make you think you're drinking flavored water.

That has to be the most fucking retarded idea I've ever heard. So they've probably made millions.

I love adverts for new products where the slogan is "It's not an (insert product it obviously is here)". I'm surprised that marketing gimmick still works. Shits clearly the worlds saddest little water bottle.

This thread is proof that you can upsell the average person on anything, even something as basic as water.

Don't even get me started. So many people I know use these, and one friend has a collapsible one. I don't know what happened to white people that they purposefully make simple things more difficult in order to alleviate nebulous guilt while being completely ineffectual or attempting to solve a problem that doesn't exist.
But the consuming doesn't stop.

Single use plastics were banned in my country a few years ago. Plastic cutlery has been replaced with bamboo, which is torture to me because I can't even tolerate the texture of the stuff in my hands, let alone my mouth. I've started carrying a little case of metal cutlery in my handbag whenever I go out. Generally it's a pain....
... but I absolutely love metal straws. I love that they don't collapse if you suck too hard, that you can keep stirring with them until you are finished with your drink, they don't bend or break. Not only are they infinitly better than the new paper straws that quickly get soggy and useless, they're so much better than plastic straws ever were. I love the things, they're awesome.

Forgive me for not seeing the appeal - I rarely use straws, especially since I stopped consuming soda ages ago. I just get grossed out watching a friend fish one out of her purse, undo the drawstring of its pouch and then give it a suspicious look before jamming it into her water bottle. "I think I cleaned it, anyway..."
