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?

  • WHY? Is gravity not fast enough for you? Do you enjoy the crinkly noise?

    Yes, and yes. I also occasionally enjoy the feeling of it slushing with force into my mouth (insert innuendo here). It’s a mix of basically a kind of stimming, and the fact that I am genuinely really fast at drinking stuff - helped me win some drinking games, too, when I was still drinking alcohol in my youth.

    Also, crinkling them up after the fact makes them take less space in the trash, in addition to feeling satisfying to do.
