This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This honestly makes so much more sense from an environmental standpoint. Why waste so much in terms of resources shipping hundreds of millions of pounds of sugar water every month so picky babies that refuse to drink water will pump more money into the coca cola empire so they can get type 2 diabetes as fast as possible. Instead just ship this little cup thing at 1/18th the weight and save so much gasoline, road wear and tear, etc.

Who am I kidding, they’ll just put this into plastic bottled water that’s been shipped from 3 states over

Everyone knows the further water travels, the better it tastes.

Can't even quench my thirst if I can't taste that planet suffering in the bottle

Wait is that what Fiji water is? I assumed it was a marketing thing. Do they actually ship that water from Fiji?

Sure, but the thing these are replacing are powders, so it's actually shipping more water (and plastic).
