I thought I had finally found a healthy drink I liked with no artificial sweetness and they had to go and fuck it up

    How about drinking water from the tap? Much cheaper, not wasting cans, and healthy. If you live in a community with bad tap water, write a letter to your local water board, and buy a filtration tank you can put in your fridge.

    If you must really have flavor, buy some of the powdered dehydrated lime or orange powder packets.

      I presume you’re not from the US.

      Many municipalities across the US have poor quality or non drinkable water, and many more do not offer public access to water fountains. Thus, bottled water is a huge market in the US as free facilities are not always available.

      I’m Canadian and I legitimately cannot recall the last time I bought bottled or canned water. I bring my two 18.9L jugs to the store to fill them with filtered water for $5 and that’s the extent of my “bottled water” consumption. Elsewhere, I carry a metal water bottle I can get refilled anywhere for free.

        Have drank tap water across the US for decades. Some municipalities are crappier than others, but a fridge filter tank takes care of those places.
