A community featuring uplifting and wholesome news stories that overlook deeply ingrained systemic problems.
The rules:
1. Your post must be an unironic presentation of a wholesome story, but one that overlooks systemic failures that made the story possible in the first place. In other words, we want posts that highlight "Yay, the problem is solved!", but ignore "Wait, why was this a problem in the first place?" at the same time.
2. Re-posts will be removed at mod discretion.
3. Sitewide rules apply. Basically, (a) don't be a dick; (b) use the NSFW tag; (c) no spam; (d) don't attack people; and (e) don't abuse the report button.

You can save $2 by adding corn syrup and food coloring though.
But you lose the plastic bottle in exchange for a flimsier paper cup.
Especially when it's Dasani.
Wtf I'm Australian and never had a "bad" bottle of water and never even considered that could be a thing. The hell are they doing to it.
it's because you put your water in bags
Everything tastes better from a bag. Fact.
I can’t get her to climb in there though.
She’s your mom, maybe you can talk to her for me?
I'll see what I can do 🤷
They add salt to it for "flavor". Yes, I'm serious. It's not like sea water, but it definitely tastes like bad tap water.
Well it's a Coca Cola brand, so I wouldn't rule out any nefarious corruption of it tbh 🤷
Soda is cheaper than water before discounts.. How does that work out
“Thanks, Luigi”
I'd like this to be the phrase associated with positive change.
Thanks, Luigi
feels like they're just tryna avoid another Luigi
for families that don't want to spend a lot of money
Bub, almost nobody wants to spend a lot of money.
$2 for Dasani should be a war crime
If it's authentic Dasani you can really taste the plastic.
I mean, if it is a gallon jug, I see value. A 20oz or smaller bottle? Get Luigi'd.

Not really, no..
The Atlanta Falcons made their concessions cheap some years ago. Planet Money did a podcast about it.
