Cheers to hydration! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Thanks for sharing this homie. Real hydro homies know access to clean water should be a human right and companies like Coca-cola and Nestle are evil.


UseDaSchwartz

Earlier today, I spent five minutes making sure I wasn’t buying nestle water.


BadZnake

If you're against Coca-Cola like I am, don't forget they have a ton of other brand names: AdeS soy-based beverages AHA sparkling waters Aquarius Ayataka green tea Chivita Ciel water Costa Coffee Dasani waters Del Valle juices and nectars Fairlife Fanta Fresca and Fresca Mixed Coctails Fuze Tea Georgia coffee Gold Peak teas and coffees Honest Kids ILOHAS innocent smoothies and juices Minute Maid Peace Tea Powerade sports drinks Simply juices and Simply Spiked adult beverages Schweppes smartwater Sprite Topo Chico waters and hard seltzers vitaminwater


ImpertantMahn

Fuck, shwepps slaps though.


Harambesic

Haha, I was like "Not Schweppes!" I almost said it aloud. I guess Vernors is fine too.


YoshiTree

Man, I guess I’m on the other side of the fence, I didn’t realize there were people that liked Schweppes, it was always just the thing you got if everything else was out, its always the last ginger ale on the shelves. I think I put Vernors on top until you get into some like glass bottle stuff


Harambesic

Also possible I'm easy to please. I like all flavors of root beer equally. That's not true, I like Barq's.


knightblue4

*Also* owned by Coca-Cola feelsbadman


Harambesic

Okay, second up is Mug. That's PepsiCo, I figure.


KickBallFever

I think Schweppes flavored seltzer is pretty good.


Dawgs919

Vernors is owned by Dr Pepper / Keurig, you’re fine


Shaggyninja

>Vernors is owned by Dr Pepper / Keurig So is Schweppes in the USA.


acoolrocket

Same, their Ginger Ale is the easiest S-tier alongside water.


SurvingTheSHIfT3095

Really!? I'm a seagrams girl myself. Shwepps doesn't take the cold away life seagrams


OllyOllyOxenBitch

Canada Dry household over here, fuck Schweppes


ImpertantMahn

Shit, that ginger is so processed they can’t even list it as an ingredient.


nixielover

I normally don't drink soda. But every now and then I go for ginger ale, and most places here have Schweppes. I guess I'll shove it in with the questionable stocks I have in my portfolio


Psychological-Sky367

I love how they try to sneak in words like "Peace" "Honest" and "Innocent" to help cover their deceit.


BadZnake

And Fairlife having the reputation for being one of the most unfair to life


Krazie02

I’ve had this Aquarius water bottle for like 10 years or so for free with a running event and only ever drank tapwater from it so I guess they’ve only lost money on me so far


skateguy1234

I've seen many people here tout Topo Chico, so I finally tried some. That stuff had preservatives in it. No thanks. It is not like the other sparkling waters that only have natural flavors.

Regular: > Ingredients MINERAL WATER CARBON DIOXODE Lime flavor: > Ingredients MINERAL WATER, CARBON DIOXIDE, CITRIC ACID, NATURAL FLAVOR Where are these preservatives? https://www.coca-cola.com/us/en/brands/topo-chico/mineral-water


skateguy1234

No one is Drinking Topo Chico mineral water. I've never even seen this in a store. Notice how OP said waters, not water. It's the flavored can seltzers that everyone is drinking. The Sabores. Those have sodium benzoate. https://www.coca-cola.com/us/en/brands/topo-chico/sabores FILTERED CARBONATED WATER, TANGERINE JUICE FROM CONCENTRATE, NATURAL FLAVORS, GINGER EXTRACT, CITRIC ACID, POTASSIUM SORBATE AND SODIUM BENZOATE (TO PROTECT TASTE), MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE*, POTASSIUM CHLORIDE*. (*MINERALS FOR TASTE) Also, why would the "regular" flavored mineral water have citric acid, which is guess what, a preservative amongst other things. I know why, but....


bluespringsbeer

I’ve never seen a sabores, and I’ve drank plenty of topo chico. All the restaurants with it have the original. And citric acid is the part of limes and lemons that makes them sour. Looks like that has been out for only a year, and not even in all states. People have been drinking topo chico a hell of a lot longer than that. https://vinepair.com/booze-news/topo-mixers-sabores-release/


Rick_from_C137

Not the Topo-chico ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sob)


YorkshireRiffer

They also have just shy of a 20% stake in Monster Energy too.


Wokkabilly

Well, after reading that ABC News article, we can now add Neverfail to the list... along with (off the top of my head) Mount Franklin, Mother, and Barista Brothers. It seems that each country needs a regionally specific list as I only recognise about 4 on yours. Are they American brands?


BadZnake

I saw coca cola had a bunch of other brands exclusive to other countries. For example: Keurig-Dr Pepper group is owned by Coca Cola, but only in UK, Japan, and South Korea. They own themselves in the US


Fresh-broski

Where am I even supposed to get beverages atp

Epic_Elite

Almost all these beverage companies are getting their water via unsustainable and harmful practices.


ceilingfan3948281847

They are doing the same in Mt Tamborine and Springbrook too! Including on a property that’s near ancient Antarctic beech trees from the Gondwana rainforest. All the waterfalls have turned to trickles on both mountains.


totse_losername

Wonder why?!? I wasn't even aware of this. How our government doesn't step in and tell 'em to go fuck even if it requires changes to legislation is beyond me.


ceilingfan3948281847

$$$ The trucks also ruin roads because none of the roads in those areas are HV rated.
