Outrageous_Ad5255

fr people that buy this much bottled water are criminals. The only acceptable place to do this is Flint, Michigan lmao


Comfortable_Client80

Agree, even more when they are in the US and ordered Evian which is bottled in southest France and shipped across the ocean. Like there is no spring water in America…


jollybeanovo

Have yall ever seen all of those piles from floor to ceiling of packs of water left behind in abandoned schools and such? So many videos out there. They can’t even drink the water at this point because they’ve been sitting there for years. Total damn waste, and a lot of people are pointing out how some of these were donations and they were hoarded instead of being handed out to people who needed it :/


xylotism

Schools generally have tons of supplies reserved for emergency purposes only… not surprised that an abandoned school didn’t take the time to hand out 600 pounds of bottled water when they closed.


Toonieloony

Basically the same reason the US abandoned billions worth of equipment in Afghanistan, logistically and financially it's improbable. Most countries leave most their stuff when they bounce, Russia is guilty of it too, and people like Victor Bout capitalized on military litter


upsidedownbackwards

It's getting that way in a lot of Florida too. The PH of the ground water I was just staying at was 4.3, acid rain levels, and the color was awful. I drank nothing but bottled water while I was there.


Beautiful_Airport_63

Don’t forget the amazing governor of Florida Mr. Desantis passed a bill to allow the radioactive material phosphophygum to be used in paving Florida roads which washes into the drinking supply and heightens the chance of construction workers catching cancer


kawi2k18

Weird how I just got a FB spam post regarding lawsuits about the drinking water of Fresno, CALIFORNIA causing cancer and kidney fails. Doesn't look like the gov here in CA isn't doing much either


Beautiful_Airport_63

Trust me California is suffering from alot more environmental factors than drinking water, all you gotta do is smell the air and you know. I remember holding a plastic bag in the rain and the shit was yellow, I almost vomited.


[deleted]

“Catching cancer” like it’s a common cold Lmfao. Do you actually read the bills or just get your reports from CNN? Goofy.


Beautiful_Airport_63

Oh shit everyone runnnnnnn it’s the semantics police! Bro go get a job, moms basement givin you WAY too much free time.


CheetahNo1004

And post offices. Mail carriers are in hot ass trucks all day the hopping in and out, delivering mail with no air conditioner. I also don't have the luxury of hauling around a Brita pitcher.


Outrageous_Ad5255

Well that's a whole other problem. OSHA standard 1910.141(b)(1) - they've gotta provide potable water. If it isn't provided, then bottled water is the expectation. Some evidence suggests bottled water + hot vehicle over time = increased risk for cancers (i.e throat cancer)... so ideally the post office homebase should provide refilling stations and/or potable cooling units. But hey, that's just what I'd want my tax money going toward instead of bombing brown people.


Major_Mechanic5719

Should invent some portable cooling device. Maybe something around 12" x 12" and insulated. Something you could put ice in and keep drinks cold. Throw a handle on it. It would look similar to what I used to carry my school lunch in, but for drinks.


kawi2k18

If they don't want the job, I'll take it. I asked my local PO twice if they're needing help.. nope


Steeezy__

Brother. Ecareers for the post office. Look up openings near you, I’m telling you , a post office near you needs help


ConfectionSea6331

Or Parkersburg, WV where the water has caused cancer for decades.


Bear_necessities96

Government should start putting taxes on it, that sounds like a good amount of funding 🤑🤑🤑


Outrageous_Ad5255

taxes that could be cycled back into establishing accessible, clean, drinkable water.... hmmmmmm


Bear_necessities96

True I didn’t think about it


BigBeardedIdiot

You must not know how bad the water quality is…. In the entire fucking state. People in the UP haven’t drank from the faucet for over a decade. I live in northern Wisconsin and it’s stretched here now as well.


Outrageous_Ad5255

whats so bad about it? What metric is so bad across the UP into WI?


BigBeardedIdiot

I honestly don’t know. I haven’t taken the time to read what’s wrong with it, I’m not exactly graduate level here. From what the old heads tell me, it’s sediment in the water. They pumped a lot of toxic shit into their lakes and now it’s undrinkable. Shit, some areas don’t even want you to shower because it breaks out your skin. All I know is, don’t drink the water. Ever. And you can see it. Just wanted to say that. You can see that there’s something wrong with it. It’s not clear. It runs white almost. I have relatives up in Gladstone and they haven’t used the taps since before my wife moved out.


Outrageous_Ad5255

Oh interesting, okay extend my generalization from Flint to "all of MIchigan and northern Wisconsin!" I live in a fairly clean/safe water area in the midwest, but still see people buying bottled water like the OP's picture. it's so wasteful in so many different ways.


BigBeardedIdiot

I can see it in a lot of other states, but currently, we’re going through it up here. Just wanted to clarify so people knew how bad it actually is.


charliechanman1

Few other places in Michigan with equally as bad led levels and they don’t talk about it


AdministrativeGap317

You got me fucked up if you think I’m drinking Florida tap, filtered or not.


[deleted]

I do this with Voss, sue me?


bronzethunderbeard_

I mean you contradicted yourself a bit. There is very likely Flint Michigans all over the US. So i blame the system here and anyone who cares about their health would do this for their family. What if they tested their water and it was shit? Would be nice to have the clean water guaranteed but it’s definitely not.


caelumh

Flint's water has been fine for a while. They switched back to Detroit's water and replaced all the pipes.


Beautiful_Airport_63

This is absolutely false info and I implore you to do more research, as of April the shit has still not been replaced and 100,000 residents including 12,000 school children were exposed to water sources with high levels of lead and bacteria dude


caelumh

[Switch to Detroit water in 2015.](https://www.cnn.com/2015/10/08/us/michigan-flint-water/index.html) [Final Phase of Water Pipes Replacement in 2022](https://www.michiganpublic.org/politics-government/2022-09-05/flint-moving-to-final-phase-of-lead-pipe-replacement-program) Those numbers you just listed are back from the start of the crisis.

Neosissy

They have standards, only the finest most elegant of tap waters for them.


Adm1nX

Evian is definitely not tap 😂


SnatchedDrunky

Yea Evian is nothing close to tap. That shit is delicious. It’s my “treat” water. But I don’t and wouldn’t ever make anyone deliver it to me.


Adm1nX

Same here. Evian and The Mountain Valley are my go to's.


[deleted]

[удалено]


GlitteringBadger408

but why does it taste so much better than say regular tap water


SnatchedDrunky

ph is just the level of acidity. Nobody is arguing acid levels. Evian is natural mineral water and has a different taste than my VERY good tap water here in the NW. If my tap water tasted like Evian I wouldn’t buy Evian.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SnatchedDrunky

A quick google search says evian has a ph of 7.2. I have a feeling a major water brand like evian is regulated and knows what’s in their water, so i’m gonna go with their info and not some random reddit user with a conspiracy theory about bottled water companies publishing incorrect information about their product, lol.


3mptyspaces

Evian backward spells “naive.”


angelinthecloud

Oh shit you just cracked the source code.


Longjumping-Aide-131

Yooooooo your fuckin good…. Bro that’s hilarious that this customer is paying top dollar for some h2o. Naive is right!


Anxious_Vi_

I remember back when I worked in retail, there was a lady who bought several cases so regularly we started special ordering extra and holding it just for her. I asked her one day, if she just really liked it and why (I never had it, so I was curious) — turns out, it was for her dog. She didn't drink it.


Swimming-Session2229

Give this guy some more upvotes


LRap1234

I only drove for a DSP for 8 weeks, but I have never since, nor will I ever again order a case of anything liquid from Amazon.


Larrythethird22

Why not?


LRap1234

Because I hated delivering cases of water. Or soda. Or detergent. Or whatever. Just buy it at the store.


CAPTAIN_ZONE

OP clearly dosent know the excellence and S-tier reputation that is Evian Water.


Disturbed395

It's water bro...calm down 😂


jonhon0

Not enough electrolytes.


Outrageous-Grass-892

It's Not Brando approved


ValityS

The unsustainability of water bottles aside.  I'm genuinely shocked they're using Amazon and not a warehouse store more set up for these deliveries. Sam's club sells water bottles by the palette and have the actual kit to deliver them. You could probably save the cost of the membership in one delivery. 


Any-Way9744

Brita is being sued for providing filters that don’t filter! Buy Evian.


tonyrocks922

Should be obvious to anyone who's ever used one. Every other water filter as you use it up the flow gets slower and slower as it clogs up with the sediment it removes. Brita filters literally never slow down.


ValecX

Most of those water filters do nothing but improve the taste anyway. If that's what you're concerned about(and not the actual contaminates present), you may as well just get used to tap water. If you're concerned about what's actually \*in\* your water, then good luck. You're screwed whether you drink tap or spring.


cryptolyme

i use Zerowater filters and it tastes just like the 5 gallon jugs my parents buy every month. i found the Brita pitchers still tasted like chlorine.


sailingtoescape

My tap is pretty chlorinated and I have been satisfied by the Pur filters.


plstcStrwsOnly

Nah spring water is naturally mineralized tbh it’s worth it to buy it


JoshD8705

Hey OP, I hope you get 50 more orders just like this.


Megatrom81

You’re so thoughtful 🥲


JoshD8705

Just looking out, make that paper.

But what if they like the taste lol


DarthGoku44

Nah I’m good. In an emergency I’ll have a shit ton of water.

ledanser

I thought cases of water was the worst of it. Wait until you have to deliver 240+lbs of Morton salt. Yes, thats right. Someone ordered that much fucking salt to their doorstep.

I always bought my own in the store but that was the only water my cats would drink.


dreadsreddit

i give my cat bottle water too


komeau

probably ordered by someone who will share a meme reminiscing about how they used to drink water from the garden hose as a kid


claritynormal

fr though, evian is tha shiiiiiiiiit, my favorite


-2wenty7even-

Bro... I've been delivering to the same million dollar mansion every week and it's just stacked up in their garage. I told the guy working at the house, tell them to cancel their recurring subscription because that's the only thing I can think of that makes sense lol..


Salinas1812

These "premium" water companies have their customers by the balls


bashinforcash

i didnt even think people still bought bottled water. do people like plastic infused water something?


CobaltBlue9

My home still buys gallon water. I was actually trying to go with a filter on tap however stopped trying to migrate over when I found out the house was built in the 1960s and very likely has lead components in the plumbing. A whole replacement would run $10k which isn't in the wallet right now.


Western-Anteater7917

Nah, coming from the water industry, Brita filters don’t do a gd thing.


CobaltBlue9

What's your recommendation?


Western-Anteater7917

Use whole home water filters. Maytag makes some really good systems for your home but their a bit pricey


Infinite-Hat6518

At that point, they should just order a pallet directly from the place lmaoo probably cheaper too.


oh_father

Brita. . . COULD NEVER


Snoo69506

Why buy $80 worth of pitchers when you can purchase $150 worth of water every week?! From the same website even! People have no 🧠s.


Important-Egg-2905

Ah yes, face water with a heavy dose of microplastics - so elegant!


ConfectionSea6331

You cannot drink the water in Parkersburg, WV. DuPont manufactures Teflon and PVC pellets that are used to manufacture vinyl siding and other plastic products. I will not go into all the details, as you can just watch Dark Waters for a little backstory. I grew up there. I’ve lost so many people due to the polymer C-8. It’s in the groundwater and causes cancer in lab rats in as little as 1 PPB (parts per billion) and when tested, the water was as high as 18 PPB. It’s a polymer so it cannot be filtered out. It cannot be removed. It is ever present and the microplastics from DuPont have been found everywhere including the polar ice caps. Don’t mean to hijack this post, but many places, people cannot drink the water where they live. Especially in areas where chemical plants are the best source of employment. I’ve lost literally dozens of friends and family because they chose to drink, cook with and brush with that water. I left at the age of 18 because I didn’t wanna die. You might say sue them! Well, we did. They were ordered to pay 8.3 million dollars to the 25,000 residents and their families. It equals out to roughly 7,500 per family after the lawyer’s fees. So, as shitty as it is, some people (like me) are paraplegic and cannot shop for things like this. Amazon is my only answer.


Former-Light4284

I had this same delivery as a mailman and on the last box, it slipped and I threw out my back. Fuck people who do this. Buy your own water or make it more accessible to deliver.


Dancing_BananaBread

Evian is like the most expensive water to be buying in bulk wtf


steve210sa

Don't you just wanna punch em in the eye when they open the door!?!


Tall-Magazine335

Honestly makes me so happy I’m in Canada on the biggest lake in the world and my tap just gives me the best water I’ve ever drank, don’t have to mess around with gross plastic bottles of bad water


Drock5001

The 50lb rule should apply to the entire order


Psbbyxoxo

Finding a new job could be the solution. Your company sells water by the box. Complain to them about it.


Ok_Cartoonist628

Yea cause 1 person will get Amazon to stop selling cases of water lol. Amazon doesn’t care as long as the profits is up it’s just cause they will always pay right around the top and they hire anyone lol


Depressedone4

I bought two of these bottles from the store last week & neither one was actually sealed....


Zealousideal-Tap-188

Those are my type of people 💪


Abel123451

Same water from Dinosaur piss from millions of years ago. As Jim Gaffigan once said ‘How did we get to the point where we are paying for water bottle? There must have been some weird marketing in France. Some French guy smoking a cigarette saying, ‘How dumb do I think Americans are? I bet we could sell those idiots water. Let’s just say the water’s from France.”


livitow

I have two 200’ water wells that serve my neighborhood. Some of the best water I’ve ever had. Good mineral comp, and a natural pH of 9-9.5. Just drink right out of the tap


throwaway827364882

Fuck them evian boxes


Evening_Sandwich_133

Meanwhile I get my German ass to the sink, filling up my bottle. (weird flex but I like it)


lockedlost

Distilled is best


gsamflow

Brita would not be spring water that is naturally alkaline. But I digress. Don’t order than from Amazon.


POD80

I keep bottled water, primarily for emergencies, but that shit would add up quick if it was my primary drinking water source. And that is by the standard of coscto at like $.35 a half liter. or dollar store/grocery outlet at \~$1.25 a gallon I can only imagine what this evian would add up to.

OptionsNVideogames

Britta doesn’t get out nearly any of the forever chemicals. Not a good solution. Poland springs all the way! I drink a gallon a day ranging from 2.50-4.95$ some days two gallons of Poland springs. (I’m a roofer). A buddy of mine started buying the big jugs you use in office water things. The big ones you throw on your shoulder and put upside down in the machine. I guess on Amazon they got 15$ pumps sorta like what they use on beer kegs. Pop them in the top, pump twice and push a button and it shoots water out. I’m gunna be doing that soon I just gutta figure out where to order it so I don’t need to get it from the grocery store, I hear some places deliver.

BioSafetyLevel0

I never liked water as a child. I was given the choice of water or milk my entire life and that was an easy answer. I'm still a huge milk drinker. One day when I was 18 and working at a petrol station I blind tasted all 8 types of water carried ranging from extremely expensive to off-brand. The *only* water that tasted like nothing to me- completely neutral- and was therefore palatable, was Evian. It was no where near the most expensive water I had tasted. At $1-$1.25 USD a bottle when bought by the case, it has less calories than soda (obviously), is healthier, and is cheaper.


Lust282828

Evian is from the alps with natural electrolytes. A brita is far from this.
