Fuck bottled water in general.
Yes I'm aware that in too many places the tap water is not safe to drink, but that's not an argument for bottled water, that's a societal and infrastructure issue that need to be directly addressed so that the tap water is safe to drink. Bottled water may be necessary in those places for the time being, but it should never be the long term solution. It is both ecologically and financially burdensome for the already marginalized communities without a safe water supply.
Back when everyone was buying all the bottled water, nobody was touching the Dasani.
That's because everyone knows that shit is anti-water. I drank it once and felt even more thirsty. I consider this the moment that radicalized me.
The trick I use is to hold the pill between my front teeth, and then release it as I take a sip of water. The pill goes straight down, none of that bumping into the side of your throat
I've been taking 8 pills at once 3 times a day for a while and even more of them before that. It gets pretty easy but I still choke on em every once in a while.
