We are very close to inventing water from first principles
@FabioLeone94 I got bad news
@FabioLeone94 they went flavoured sparkling water -> regular sparkling water -> water, just fucking water in a can
@Elizafox @FabioLeone94 better than in a plastic bottle, at least? (although aluminum cans are apparently coated in microplastics anyway so fuck me, I guess)
@aburka @Elizafox @FabioLeone94 Maybe. A lot of microplastic studies were apparently contaminated by lab gloves
@soatok @Elizafox @FabioLeone94 I saw that article but idk if it's cope
@bardnet @Elizafox @FabioLeone94
These cans are indeed #water and they're from #Japan. But the large signs tell us that they are specifically canned for #disaster use only. You will find #emergency supply packs in almost every home in Japan, and such canned water would be among the supplies one would find in those packs. ℹ️
@joseph11lim @bardnet @Elizafox @FabioLeone94 I find the theme of these cans highly inappropriate for such usecases.
@FabioLeone94
You will just by an empty can, because it's fancy and not the Coke color.
@FabioLeone94 just give it a few more decades
@FabioLeone94 Drinking carbonated gruel simply for the love of the game
@FabioLeone94 ma è acqua minerale?
@FabioLeone94 "New look": it's now 100% dyes.
@FabioLeone94 What in the fuck is the point of the contents of this can?!

@FabioLeone94 What in the holy fuck is even the point then?!

Zero caffeine
Zero sugar
Zero calories
Zero weight
Zero volume
Zero slope
You give us $2 and you can't even have the can because it doesn't exist.

@FabioLeone94

Somebody should slap a Sigma-Aldrich sticker on that can to implement the promised "new look".

@FabioLeone94 ... and phosphoric acid
Coca Cola’s bottled water is from the tap

Coca-Cola is selling purified tap water in a bottle, it emerged today. The company confirmed the source for its new Dasani bottled water, which went on sale last month, was the mains supply to its

The Times
@FabioLeone94 looking at this makes me feel like whatever certain Russian brands are doing is reasonable. which is unusual.

@FabioLeone94

Related: I recall someone said not that long ago basically that "These companies do not sell you bottled water. They sell you plastic bottles".

There's always rain-water, or tap-water, of course. And not infrequently, the bottled water can have more contaminants than either of the other two.

Finally, I vaguely remember a TV comedy sketch years ago (sorry, can't remember what series, but in the UK. _Not The Nine O'Clock News_, perhaps?) where they re-did the Volvic advert thing banging on about 'filtered through ancient rocks for thousands of years, blah blah', and then the narrator asks "so why does every bottle come stamped with a best-before date six months from now?" - or similar; haven't done my searches sorry, but you get the point!

@FabioLeone94 zero sugar means tons of chemicals….
@sequundi @FabioLeone94 zero sugar means aspartame and acesulfame-K, it's fine.
@FabioLeone94 @vmstan And you’re going to pay more for the privilege.
@FabioLeone94 Darker, edgier, emo water.
@FabioLeone94 Remembers previous rebranding tries and gets the popcorn.
@FabioLeone94 the guy who reversed engineered the secret ingredient of Coke recently figured out that its tannins and he replicated them with tea, so this is basically iced herbal tea
@FabioLeone94 Something with all the benefits of water but tastes like cola? Sounds great.
@FabioLeone94 they forgot to add “zero point”
@FabioLeone94
Wait until you try hot leaf water.
@FabioLeone94 Sugar-free; caffeine-free; cola-free.
@FabioLeone94 this is brilliant! have a great week. thanks.
@FabioLeone94 but much more disgusting!
