    To those who squeeze single use water bottles (think Aquafina, Dasani, Sam’s Choice, etc.) - WHY? Is gravity not fast enough for you? Do you enjoy the crinkly noise? Why squeeze when it’s literally falling out of the bottle?

      I usually get the water in really thin plastic with sport tops which are impossible to drink without the crink.

      Sport tops because if I'm buying water I'm on my way to do something active and they are less spillable.

      On a side note, the hard plastic bottles impart a really gross taste. Aquafina is sometimes okay while cold, but once it hits room temperature it tastes like plastic. Dasani always tastes like plastic ass.

        You got it in one. Gravity isn't fast enough.

          Squeezing out the water is simply a satisfying tactile experience.

              I don't think you understand...

              Then it wouldn't explode

              We used to put dry ice in them and toss them under the liquid tanks as people were cleaning the insides of the tank. Definitely was a great reminder to use the PPE.

                I'm sorry, all I can hear right now is Archer talking about tinnitus

                  No, it's not fast enough. I'm not here to sip, I'm here to hydrate.

                    I'm snobby about plastic. I think all water stored in plastic tastes like plastic and it's gross. Flavored with 100% real microplastics. Water tastes best out of glass, but it's expensive due to inadequate recycling infrastructure here, and it's heavy.

                      Yeah, I don't buy it very often anyway, so at least there's that.
