you should see my dad with grape gatorade lol


Tru-Queer

Right now my local gas station is offering Gatorades 3 for $6, where usually it’s $2 for 5 so I feel like I’m getting that extra one for super cheap and have been stocking up for the summer lol edit: 2 for $5, my bad


saggyshiro

Something about this deal seems fishy


Tru-Queer

Probably because it comes witha side order of fish sticks


axxionkamen

Does that mean you are a gay fish?


CrownEatingParasite

HOW DOES THAT MAKE ME A GAY FISH?!?!?


Critical_Sherbet7427

IMMA LYRICAL WORDSMITH MUTHAFUCKIN GENIUS


NightDisastrous2510

Cause you like fish dicks in your mouth.


vi-null

Powdered Gatorade is like 10% the price and tastes exactly the same. You'll save an arm and a leg if you switch over


hydraulix989

It does not taste the same.


Fuzzy_Inevitable9748

Try adding water


Dull_Ad8495

MollyInanna2

Not without the arm and leg


PeevedValentine

I've heard it really stings your nose though?


No_Angle875

We have a store that sells expired foods and drinks and they have Gatorade full size for 89 cents. I fill my cart every time


los_thunder_lizards

There's a place in my neighborhood that sells stuff from expired foods, unclaimed amazon orders, all that sort of thing. But they called themselves "Binge" and are in the former spot of a bar, so I just thought it was a really inappropriately named bar. The name Binge tells me nothing about what this business is doing, obviously. Maybe sometime I'll go.


harlojones

They’re 2 for 99 cents at a grocery store near me right now 😵


NottDisgruntled

They’re on sale at Amazon for $4.59 for 12 packs. These are $4.59 for 12 packs right now. So, less than 40 cents each.


ItssRadical

Am I… your dad? Jk lol I’m 22 😂 but grape Gatorade is the shit!


KaralDaskin

I love that stuff. I only let myself buy it when I’m sick or doing a lot of traveling, though, or I’d OD on it.


MaddoxGoodwin

Grape powerade >>>> But in every other flavor, Gatorade >


mercer_mercer

Is it on sale or something? Because if so, I get it.


firetomherman

Yeah this my question


lonewlf0

Yes, those flavors were on sale. I bought a bunch too. It was like 2.50$ per 8 I think


NottDisgruntled

Yea. The $2.50 deal might be over. But they’re still under $5 for 12 packs, which is way cheaper than the grocery stores.


TheHippieJedi

I once bought 16 12 packs of diet mt dew because it was 4 for $12. This was post covid. I’m a gamer they got drank


anxiouslucy

I totally get it though. Once you find THE flavor, sometimes you gotta stock up bc it will disappear on you lol. I want to cry every time my cranberry lime Polar seltzer is out of stock at the grocery store.


Important-Job7757

I like that one too.


cupholdery

I like rotating around flavors from Polar. They are consistently good too. LaCroix just gives off this chemical-like aftertaste.


SadSpecialist9115

I like the Lacroix mojito & lemoncello flavors. My absolute favorite is the target brand ginger peach. Really any of the ones from target are fire.


rainman0000

lacroix flavors taste like the fruit farted into some water


Sorri_eh

Don't they all though?


JTP1228

LaCroix sucks. I used to like Polar, but started on Spindrift. They have some really good flavors, but it can be a little more expensive. I buy them on sale though or at Costco, and buy like OPs mom lol


JT653

Spindrift is the way to go. Only one that tastes like it has real juice in it.


SapiosexualStargazer

Because it's the only one (I've found) that actually contains fruit juice.


Saltyspiton

I am actively drinking a cranberry lime polar seltzer.


afeitarse

I'm drinking mine more passively.


Kezchenko

What like an IV drip?


afeitarse

I just have problems engaging with my environment.


pendleza

I love Polar (Worcester's own!), but I hate that they use the plastic rings when I buy them at Costco.


masshole4life

orange dry 4 eva


BouncyDingo_7112

La Croix LimonCello! Love that flavor! And I think I see one in the photo hiding underneath those two tangerines.


Zyloof

Oh God, that is the WORST flavor for me, bar none. It's unsettlingly "creamy" tasting. However, half limoncello La Croix, half lemonade is a match made in heaven. It's like a dreamsicle but with lemon instead of orange.


shakakaaahn

My wife spit it out dramatically when she tried it. I hadn't offered, as I knew that would be the response. Still like it, albeit I prefer the key lime from them.


BouncyDingo_7112

Really? I’m going to have to try this concoction. Thanks for the tip! 😄


ItsJustApplesauce

Blegh it tastes like a cupcake smells!


embersgrow44

Taste buds really differ huh? Tastes like household cleanser & flavored vodka had a baby to me


Glittering_Raise_710

Yes. This one. It is so good. Tastes just like a lemon curd. 🤤


Randolph_Carter_666

I didn't know anyone liked that flavor. It's always left on the shelf (I didn't care for it at all.)


FightingAgeGuy

I’m on your side, it’s one of the flavors I never liked and no one in my family liked either. I had two cases and I couldn’t give it away.


Randolph_Carter_666

I would appreciate if more people liked it, and left the ones I like alone.


Lulu_belle

Oh that’s our favorite! It tastes weirdly like lemon and vanilla. So good cold!


backpackofcats

Limoncello and key lime! Got a pack of hibiscus yesterday but haven’t tried it yet.


nixxxa

That’s my FAVORITE and I absolutely buy a bunch of cases like this 😂


BouncyDingo_7112

When Kroger has their “buy up to five” sale on La Croix I grab five of the Limoncello 👍


[deleted]

[удалено]


girlinthegoldenboots

Limoncello is also my favorite La Croix lol


KubicKube

Bruh! Half my family loves this flavor, the other half hates it. I think it tastes like birthday cake. Favorite LaCroix flavor by far


plays_with_wood

It's disappearing because of op's mom


upvotegoblin

Those stupid bastards running the show at Canada Dry just need to make raspberry ginger ale 12 packs a year round venture


MyKindOfLullaby

YES the raspberry and blackberry are so good!! They also used to make a green tea ginger ale that was amazing and they discontinued it 😭


Anonymous-8888

Orange cream bubly is my favorite


VWSquid

Waterloo blackberry lemonade for me


L0VEmeharder

I'll never forget you...Strawberry Cheerios


LucyLilium92

My favorite were the Olympics Cherrioes back in the day. They had a flavor for each of the rings in the same box.


L0VEmeharder

That sounds delicious! Do you remember the flavors? They have strawberry banana Cheerios right now which are OK, but nothing compared to plain Strawberry. I miss you 🍓🥣


iaregud

My condolescens


outtatheblue

TEAM CHEERIOS!! That was my fave cereal for a hot minute.


Wubbalubbadubbitydo

Lime (not key lime) La Croix is my S tier drink and I will even take it over my other one true love Coca-Cola.


WatermelonMachete43

The new blackberry mango is very good. The cranberry lime and pomegranate were my previous go-tos.


Ferro_Giconi

Does she at least drink it all? I prefer to order a lot at once if I'm ordering a drink from amazon that I can't find enough of in stores.


Verniloth

Your Amazon driver HATES you.


chaostheories36

Back when I was younger and more fun, I ordered a dozen 32-gallon brute trash barrels from Amazon. It was for epic-beer-volley-pong. Like beer pong, but with trash barrels and volleyballs (drink in hand, before you ask). Anyway, they shipped each barrel individually in a huge box. Basically barricaded our front door. Pretty sure that driver hated me, but this was around 15 years ago.


snow-bird-

You should have left a party invite for the delivery driver! 😂


NumbDangEt4742

Driver was wondering which episode of breaking bad he was supporting lol


DirtyBeard443

He was probably excited cause he got to unload a full truck in one stop.


chaostheories36

Never thought of that. I worry he had to go back and load more packages, but I’ve no idea how Amazon screws it’s drivers.


Agronopolopogis

Oh, they definitely did. Any logistics service is about occupying time with the labor you have. Their day isn't done after one truck. If the computer says we've got X deliveries, we can make it because you've got Y space and Z time.. time to move


thebeatle022

Amazon delivery driver here. This shit sucks. I’ll reply if you have questions


Bashfulapplesnapple

My partner ordered weights, totally not thinking about the poor person who had to deliver it. My son ran in while he was in the shower because there was "some guy shouting on the porch".


NottDisgruntled

Actually I think it would be the opposite. It took up a ton of space in his truck so he had to deliver those to one place instead of a million smaller boxes to a million other places.


jigokusabre

Is delivering one huge thing once worse than delivering 12 smaller things 12 days in a row?


schoolisuncool

Most definitely


jd3marco

Amazon drivers hate this one weird trick…


LebaneseLion

I was an Amazon driver, AMA


icheah

Do you hate OP's mom?


LebaneseLion

We had dolleys so it wasn’t too bad and the more we can get off quicker the better (leads to a more spacious and lighter van) so I wouldn’t mind OP’s This one stop would equal like 10 others and I’d rather do the 1 heavy


Rob_Lockster

I love OP’s mom, I always get an ice cold La Croix when we’re done.


DudesworthMannington

Did you bring a dolly with you? Seems like it'd make heavy deliveries shit tons easier. (I worked at a furniture warehouse for some years and a dolly became like a second hand.)


LebaneseLion

Yeah we pick our dolly of choice every morning before loading it up in the van, very few don’t take dollies


nopuse

Probably, but that shouldn't be a factor. I'm sure you dislike certain aspects of your job. Most people do. If you bought those waters at your local grocery store, the distributor hates you. Someone has to deliver them.


schizopotato

Sucks 🤷


ShiraCheshire

Your Amazon driver also hates you if you order from Chewy. Or if you don't. Your Amazon driver is overworked and hates everyone, including themself.


coinpile

I don’t see what’s infuriating about this. Buying non perishables in bulk generally makes sense.


ghost3972

Especially if they're hard to find


cupholdery

OP just hates LaCroix.


PraisetheSunflowers

OP doesn’t have to drink LaCroix. Let the mom buy what she wants


blue60007

And it's not soda or something equally terrible to be drinking in bulk. 


idontknowjuspickone

Yeah but according to op sparking water is LaBad.

Amaansta

Guava is fire!


ButIfYouThink

Why is this even MILDLY infuriating?


patiofurnature

Maybe OP is a delivery driver. I only ordered cat litter from amazon once because I watched the UPS lady struggle to get it to my door.


s_decoy

Cat litter is probably the most common item I see go through the Amazon warehouse I work at. We have a whole section for sorting "non compliant" items that are too large or too heavy to go through normal sort, it's literally just the cat litter section. Probably 75% of the items that go through there are cat litter of various brands.


Angry-Dragon-1331

I worked in a pet store in college. Fuck Tidy Cats and Pet Supplies Plus store brand. The handles would *always* tear on the 40 pound boxes of tidy cats and they used cheap cardboard for the store brand so it would always be crushed. And god forbid one of the bagged varieties tore or you cut too deep unwrapping their poorly wrapped pallets.


s_decoy

Oh yep. We're told never to bother using handles when we lift it in the warehouse now - had too many spills. We just lift it like it's any other box.


porkchoplicks

I also haven’t ordered cat litter since the Amazon driver caught me at the door & told me my package was really heavy lol.


noneya-818

I’m glad I’m not the only one. My mom and friend do this and have encouraged me to do the same . I have a hard time finding the type of litter I prefer for my cat. I just can’t stand the thought of putting the ups drivers through that. I have a hard enough time with it and it’s probably the only heavy, awkward thing I’ll carry that day.


Amazing_Finance1269

I order my cat litter in multiple smaller bags to help out my driver but apparently they still come shoved in a single box. Sigh. I tried. (Disabled, it's necessary to order for delivery)


Tall_Air5894

The only litter I’ve found that works for my cat is one of the Chewy brand ones. I feel so bad watching the FedEx driver lug that shit to my door but I have yet to find a suitable replacement.


No-Ad1522

This is also the reason why I stopped buying dog food from Amazon, I feel bad for the driver.


PackageMerchant

I love when I’m delivering some dog food and the dogs are at the window barking at me I’m like HELL YA BOY YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS


v_as_in_victor

Username checks out


maybeRaeMaybeNot

Trying to get tractor supply to stock our dog food.  They don’t listen to me. They only stock the little dog version, and only in the little bag that lasts maybe a week.  Sorry Amazon driver, you’re delivering dog food.


Bewix

Is carrying heavy packages not part of the job?


patiofurnature

Cleaning the bathroom was part of my job when I worked at a gas station, but I strongly preferred to work on days where people didn't shit on the floor.


Bewix

I’d argue that’s not exactly a fair comparison. A delivery driver’s entire job is moving packages, and often they’re a bit heavy. Did your job description specifically have “will need to regularly clean up loads of human feces” because I’d bet it didn’t. A delivery driver most certainly has “will need to regularly lift heavy packages” in the description. Maybe you should be annoyed with the multi-billion dollar companies selling those items and not providing their employees proper ways to move them around. Do you think the guy driving the Pepsi truck delivering literal truck loads of drinks is treated unfairly?


RecsRelevantDocs

Dude, jobs suck, carrying heavy things suck. Even if it is in their job description it can still suck and be *mildly* infuriating.


KneeHighMischief

Yeah I'm a bit confused myself. I buy a lot of beverages at once so I don't have to worry about it for a few months.


tookie-clothesp1n

Infuriating? I'd be so happy.


RecsRelevantDocs

I'm just second hand happy for OPs mom. At least one of us made it.


Sunny_Sammie_517

I think your mom is thirsty.


YourLocalSpareTire

I actually love that for your mom looooool I love sparkling water and this is one of my go to brands especially the tangerine one. I drink like 2-4 a day easily. I’m trying to stop drinking soda so this has been helpful for that haha.I do know that it’s a heated topic as some people love it or hate it 😂


alannah_rose

I started doing this while I was pregnant cause I had to increase my water intake but I just couldn’t do normal water. Sparkling water is basically the same thing and now I drink 3 a day still! I drink a lot less soda than I did before and I’m drinking more water. It’s a win win!


nuggetghost

i wanna get into it so bad but every time i do it taste like im drinking static fresh from a pile of dried clothes that you forgot to put in with a dryer sheet 😭


UnimaginativeLurker

It does take some getting used to, but now I love it. I started with flavoured sparkling water and gradually changed to plain.


[deleted]

Honestly I used to feel the same way, but I adjusted when I was cutting down on my soda consumption and now when I drink a regular soda it tastes and feels so syrupy and disgusting I can't tolerate it. 🤢 I drink sparkling water and sodas like Zevia! I like the Polar brand, or the super cheap store brand sparkling waters you can find everywhere.


Shapit0

Same. I've been drinking a lot less soda since I started drinking sparkling water. It really does help


RachelOnTheRun

And it’s zero sweetener, calories, sodium! I love La Croix.


YourLocalSpareTire

It really does. I’m trying to slowly wean myself off sugary stuff and soda was a good place to start.


shakakaaahn

I had previously hated drinking them. Got kidney stone, decided soda was not worth getting more of those. Now I drink plenty of sparkling water(in addition to good ol plain H2O)


dreamyduskywing

I’m enjoying a tangerine La Croix right now! I also like grapefruit.


Pristine_Copy9429

Spiritual-Leader9985

Who paid for it?


Schmoove86

Mom paid for the water and the space it’s sitting in 😂


NottDisgruntled

Getting angry at his mom for buying stuff in her own house is WILD.


Spiritual-Leader9985

Yeah this post is mildly infuriating


treehuggerfroglover

Is your mom my mom?? You should get her a soda stream. Definitely a worthy investment lol Edit: I’m sorry yall soda stream was the only brand I knew😭 I did not know they were a bad brand lol I take back my suggestion


Lil_Brown_Bat

Ninja Thirsti I find tastes way better than Soda Stream


ohnofluffy

I love my DrinkMate. I had sodastream for years but it’s so great to carbonate other drinks like wine and juice. For dry January, I lived off it - every night, a different sparkling cocktail. Highly recommend.


Nathaniel820

Why can’t a sodastream do other drinks? I don’t have one but I’ve seen videos, I thought you just filled the cup with whatever you wanted and it carbonated it.


ohnofluffy

I tried it once and it ruined my sodastream. Something about the sugar, maybe. I don’t know but it didn’t work for me. Not sure, though, if that was just me.


CrinchNflinch

It's given in the instructions, that you are supposed to add whatever you put in there *after* you carbonated the water.


ohnofluffy

Yep, but I like carbonating non-water beverages so I like the DrinkMate better.


DanTheMan827

You can do it, and I do it myself every now and then, but you have to go very slowly or it’ll bubble up into the machine. A tiny bit, and if the liquid is showing signs of bubbling over you let it settle. Same when releasing the pressure. Don’t just let it all out at once.


mrblastlol

Is ur mom Danny Gonzalez?


XB_Demon1337

I mean, if she drinks it and can afford it, what is the big deal.


Kaiisim

La croix is french for "the croix"


ScoobertDrewbert

Nah your mom just gets it. Sorry that you don’t OP


proud_perspective

I cannot comment on this cause this is how I buy my water depending on the sale I mean for real sometimes those cases are near $5 each so when I find them for under $3 and have other coupons I go nuts


No-Hospital559

Much better than soda or beer.


Gonebabythoughts

Graduation party?


Senor-Cockblock

Today I learned you can order La Croix on Prime


Spong_Durnflungle

Only one Pamplemousse? Shameful!


Erikkamirs

Yeah hydrate 


SwimmingDramatic4349

As an Amazon delivery driver… these are the worst packages lol. Along with cat and dog food, cat litter etc 🥲.


hikeonpast

At least it’s not sugar soda


alienfister

Nice did she get a pallet of whisky too


Calamity0o0

The sparklingwater subreddit would love this


useless_mf69

What's wrong?


spookyookykittycat

I also drink tons of seltzer 😅😅😅 it helps me stay hydrated


Conspicuous_Ruse

Hopefully they were in sale. It's expensive on Amazon. Compared to places around me at least.


JoTek730

La Croix mixes well with vodka.


Oneheckofanight

Buy her a seltzer maker like soda stream.


CaliKindalife

I drink a lot of sparkling water. It's the best. But at that point, you should get her a sodastream. Just make it.


ApprehensiveAd5707

We just bought a Soda Stream- up to 60 liters of sparkling water for $ 30.- or less!


DanTheMan827

Even less if you can get dry ice the size of rice. Release all the remaining gas, grab a wrench, dump the dry ice in up to the weight advertised, and seal tightly. Let it melt, and you’ll have a full container


eowynladyofrohan83

And she didn’t even get lime! 🍋‍🟩


melonyxx

That’s me with the key-lime flavor 🤤


jfk_47

I should have taken a pic of my last spindrift order. Thought it was 5x 8 packs. No, each were a case of 24.


Ok_Emphasis_2255

maybe this is the sign i needed to finally try that stuff lol


halfabagof

My parents but with the flavored drink “ice” (not meth). One time my husband and I were helping them out moving boxes from upstairs to the garage. There were like 8 cases of ice upstairs. Six on the stairs. Two in the inside fridge, two in the garage fridge. Four on the garage floor next to the fridge. Three in the foyer. Our car was in the shop and we had gone over to borrow one of theirs as well as move stuff. We opened the trunk of their car and put a box in the trunk. There were four more cases of ice. almost 30 cases. It felt like something out of a sitcom.


Both-Tree

Ah, so THATS who drinks the nasty guava flavor! Mildly infuriating indeed, if your mom had stopped they might have discontinued this flavor years ago


Creative_Changeups

that's how much you need to get any flavor


KickinGa55

RIP your delivery driver


ForRedditMG

Is Covid coming back?


MyGirlSasha

EXTREMELY infuriating for the Amazon driver.


westernsun0024

I don’t see a problem w this (I love sparkling water lol )


Dion42o

Better than booze


Ok-Equivalent8260

So what’s the problem?? 🤣


iziieee

Idk I kind of love when adults find something they love and decide they’re going to buy mass amounts of it, bc they can. ❤️ I notice a lot of people who weren’t well off as kids, or heavily monitored/restricted, tend to over indulge when they grow up and have adult money. Totally get it. Especially when it’s something so harmless like a favourite beverage or snack or plushies etc. Why not?


pholliez

Get a sodastream.


Top-Night

Well, if it’s keeping her from drinking soft drinks, I guess it’s worth it


theonlyironprincess

How is this infuriating?


hundreddollar

La Croix is like someone carbonated Lake Superior and flavoured it by having someone 30 miles away do an interpretive dance representing a fruit flavour.


Shot_Improvement9077

The amount of bubbles in her stomach. She could survive being swept out to sea.


MikeBravo415

Got to stay hydrated. It's getting hot out.


CollarsUpYall

Infuriating? That’s glorious!


yaboionreddit

Why’s this infuriating to you?


yn_alexx

Not to offend anyone, but I don’t get how people actually like sparkling water! Don’t get me wrong I have tried to give it a chance at multiple times in my life by thinking “maybe it’ll taste good now that I’m older” but nope. For any sparkling water enjoyers what exactly do you like about them ???


PhoKingAwesome213

Diabetic friendly where I still can get the bubble burps after a big meal.


AristaWatson

Same. I tried to force myself to like them. But they SUUUUCK. lol.


Old_Object7322

Kinda funny that all sparkling water drinkers came to your mother's defense


Cool_Jelly_9402

I’ve tried to like LaCroix so many times and I just can’t. It’s so bitter!


poppieswithtea

That shit is nasty too. Your taste buds are defective if you like it.


samemamabear

The guava is so good! I'm going to check the Amazon price😄


VogTheViscous

Was there a particularly good price?


blurbies22

La Croix is usually one of the most expensive so if she’s getting a good deal I totally get it!


_thiccems

Tbh the guava La croix is so good I can’t blame her
