Sometimes, I wish I lacked a sense of guilt. I could make so much money conning these people...
But then if I lacked a sense of guilt, I'd be one of them.

Nowhere does it claim to be anti-woke except at the rage bait headline.

They obviously discovered the compounds that make the frogs gay!
Is there a single generic product these imbeciles won't line up to buy if you slap trumps face, or the word freedumb, or the anti-woke label on it? I should have been a grifter.
I jokingly asked my wife recently if I could quit my job and become a right wing YouTuber. I have worked in video and audio production for over a decade, I would have an operation up and running in probably a week if I really wanted to do it. We laughed and sighed…And then realized that unfortunately, I would probably be at least modestly successful.

Republicans will buy damned near anything out of spite.
This sincerely might be the most pathetic thing I’ve ever seen, I don’t even have words anymore
she got the idea for the brand while watching the Republican debates, where she noticed audience members drinking water that had “no connection to the people drinking it.”
They could have been drinking the same water as the blue team. Disgusting.
They just keep fleecing the rubes and the rubes just keep letting them
It looks so easy 😭 I wish I had the starting capital and lack of morals to start one of these grifts.
Just print out the word “freedom” in size 72 times new roman on your printer (doesn’t matter if it won’t fit on one line) and tape it to some blank t-shirts. Go to a Republican event and sell them

Where can I buy woke water?
You have to collect rainwater and filter it yourself
Only known way for truly ethical water

Water works the same no matter gender, race, creed, sexual orientation, age or any other human metric. Water is the wokest thing ever!
Not from Nestle
But also from Nestlé. They won't say no to money.
You can put Going Green on a plastic coke bottle, doesn't mean it's green haha. You are 100% right though, Nestle would sell anything they could get their cock holders on
There's a small craft brewery in small-town Wisconsin that partnered with a coffee roaster to make a canned coffee called "Woke". The coffee is pretty good, and the beer is damn good.
They piss off the local right-wing government, so they're constantly getting shut down, but it usually only lasts a couple weeks.
The tears of Conservatives
Too salty.
You still got the title, bud, and believe me, I've been thanklessly reading all usernames to make sure. Well done, once again.
hands down my favorite comment on this post

I'll stick to refilling old bottles with tap water.
You should use a reusable water bottle for that purpose though. Don't reuse single-use plastic like that
Yes. Instead of using the bottle you already have you should buy a new bottle!

Normally one puts used 2-liter pop bottles into recycling.
Occasionally I reuse one a few times.
Why would I buy a water bottle when I essentially have one—at times several—already?
Because even the food safe plastics are proven to leach microplastics and volatile compounds into your water?
There's a good chance the water into your tap comes from plastic pipes.
At all plastic is made the same
Water bottle is literally cheapest shit there is..
You can see sml pices of plastic on the bottle fraying when you buy it.
Not am expert but PVC is a bit different ...
But point stands, there is just nuance to it.
We got any petro bros to clarify around?

Maybe, but such would be insufficient, IMO.
We must cease using all plastic:
plastic shopping bags, plastic textile bags, nylon, polyester, food wrap, margarine tubs, most electronics, automobiles, electric bikes, pedal bikes, definitely tires, plastic sandwich bags, tea bags, pens, chewing gum, filters, plastic pill bottles, plastic syringes, plastic in diapers, plastic in bandages, plastic in tampons, use only glass bottles for shampoos and conditioners, non-plastic combs and brushes, (most) imitation leather, plastic election signs, plastic gardening pots and trays, plastic garden hoses, plastic piping, plastic fuel containers, plastic casings for batteries, plastic electric chords, plastic in masks for the next pandemic, etc.
Nah you're right, you should just keep using the same old sunlight-degraded Fuji bottle you've been using. Who cares if you're drinking polyethylene, hell boil some coffee in that bad boy. Fuck minimizing exposure, it's nothing to me champ, drink up.
Dude he’s clearly not running this thing for years. A freshly acquired water bottle can be used two or three times over a couple of days. You aren’t going to die. When I was in Germany people reused their plastic bottles constantly. They would keep a giant bottle of whatever they wanted to fill it with in the fridge, and they would fill the smaller (used) plastic bottles, which they would wash and use few times before recycling. This is an incredibly common practice and it’s largely fine. You’re just trying to win an internet argument by making it sound like someone is digging out some crusty, crumbling years old plastic and eating the shavings for a snack.
TL;DR: reusing a (cleaned) plastic water bottle a few times before tossing it is not going to kill you.
Yeah I mostly agree with you and was largely being hyperbolic.
But really, I got a nice double-walled metal bottle awhile ago and it's a game changer, I top it off with ice and fresh (filtered) water from my fridge in the morning and I have fresh, icey water all day. And I'm not consuming a bunch of single-use plastic in the process, highly recommend.
edit: also, apathetic accelerationist doomers piss me off

well fuck.
Water bottle business and how boomers fell for it is microcosm of how modern America works.
Problem is now Republicans around the US are banning fluoride in our water, so who knows what else they’re going to ruin re: municipal water supplies. If they had their druthers we’d all be exclusively drinking bottled water.
What's that, Nestle?
Pumped downstream of some chemical factories on the great Mississippi river for that slight hint of deregulation flavor.
Same way grandaddy did it!
Nope, Nestle is too woke. Anything that doesn't say "Freedom" is too woke.
Ironic because freedom is also woke.
