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

    Or because it's the only water available at most concerts.

    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.

    I got news for you about modern cans if you're trying to avoid plastic. They're lined with, you guessed it, plastic.

    Liquid death is legit the best carbonated water though, the texture is more like beer rather than pop

    People call me crazy, but I agree. It definitely has a cleaner taste and better overall mouth feel that most.

    Closest I think that compares might be topo chico, but it seems to go flat faster.

    It's tap water in a can. Everything else is made up in your mind.

    I meant the carbonated version. All plain carbonated waters on the market taste / feel different to me and LDs just seems to be a notch better.

    Store brand ones taste metallic to me for some reason. Perrier bubbles are "tiny" feeling. Talking Rain is pretty good. Not a fan of La Croix.
