    It’s no different from bottled soda except it doesn’t have all the extra crap they add to make it soda.

    "In the Soft Drinks market, volume, at home is expected to amount to 47.0bn L by 2024.

    Volume, out-of-home is expected to amount to 17.6bn L in 2024.

    Volume, combined is expected to amount to 64.6bn L in 2024."

    vs. 60bn L for bottled water.

    https://www.statista.com/topics/1302/bottled-water-market/#topicOverview

    “In 2022, U.S. bottled water sales volume amounted to approximately 15.9 billion gallons - the highest volume of bottled water ever sold in the United States.”

    But somehow water is the problem? 🤔

    Ill drink what I want, thanks for the unsolicited advice ““experts””. I’d pay to see these smug assholes come drink a gallon of the stuff that comes out of my well.

      Let’s see… Repeatedly buy filtered municipal drinking water sold in an earth fucking plastic bottle, or install a reverse osmosis water system and replace the filters 2-4 times a year?

      Clearly a VERY personally threatening article for you. I too am triggered by experts stating facts I don’t like. /s

      Does Lemmy have a r/conservative leak?
