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.

      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.
