A bottle that’s actually a drink vs. a pouch that’s barely a mouthful? I’m OK with that…

finitebanjo OP ,

A 30 Pack of pouches was sold for like 0.05 to 0.20 USD per fluid oz.

They sell large 96 fl oz bottles at roughly 0.30 USD per fluid oz, so you’re actually getting less drink with bottles as things stand currently.

If your childhood is defined by Capri Sun, you have bigger problems than the container in which it’s distributed.

finitebanjo OP ,

I’m happy that your childhood was defined by a stable career and a nice car, I guess…?

If wishing made it so …

ByteOnBikes ,

My childhood was defined by Pokemon Red, sat morning cartoons, and drinking 0.25 cent plastic fruit hugs.

What problems do I face?

You talkim the ol white plastic bottles with the foil cap and no labels?

MegaUltraChicken ,

Yep those are hugs.

Fondots ,

I bought a case of hugs for a bbq I had over the summer for my friends who are now all into their 30s. Figured it would be a fun little hit of nostalgia.

They were more popular than I expected, and actually better than I remember them being.

Tylerdurdon , in Trump Staffer ‘Abruptly Pushed’ Arlington Cemetery Employee, Army Confirms

Anything for a photo op. Reminiscent of that whole Bible holding thing…

fine_sandy_bottom , in Trump takes sexist Harris attacks to ‘whole other level’ on Truth Social

He only has one mode of operation. When things aren’t going well he’s just going to double down on the same tactics.

Fedizen , in J.D. Vance Booed by Entire Crowd During Dumpster Fire Speech

I feel like I could do a better job than this guy and I am not a public speaker.

kittenzrulz123 , in J.D. Vance Booed by Entire Crowd During Dumpster Fire Speech

JD couch fucker Vance doesn’t know how to speak to normal people, what an absolute weirdo.

Fedizen , in Texas megachurch faces exodus of worshippers after a sex abuse scandal set off a summer of turmoil

Weird how many christian pastors see their church as their personal dating service.

It’s a power thing. Many people choose jobs that give them power over unfortunate people for the express purpose of abusing those people’s vulnerability, not because they like to help people.

kittenzrulz123 , in Trump takes sexist Harris attacks to ‘whole other level’ on Truth Social

JD Vance has sex with a couch and Trump is a rapist who objectifies women, they truly are a pair forged in hell.

I feel like I’m the only one who experienced metal bottles of Pacific cooler like 20 years ago. My mom bought them one time before realizing I went through them just as quickly as the pouches, despite them being like 4x the volume and price. They were one of the best things I ever experienced

Sad, from a nostalgia point of view, but probably a win, environmentally. We have a pipeline to recycle plastic bottles, the mylar pouches are pretty much all single use.

ABCDE ,

But much better to use aluminium.

We actually don’t have a pipeline to recycle plastic bottles though, right?

Oh no. I can’t relive the childhood frustration of being unable to access that sweet nectar shielded behind an impenetrable puncture-proof material with no tools to work with but the flimsiest of mini plastic straws.

Nurse_Robot ,

Skill issue. You could always penetrate the tiny hole with your canines if you were adamant enough

PineRune , in Reports that Capri Sun is phasing out pouches for bottles is ruining childhoods everywhere

I very specifically remember the controversy 15-20 years ago when it was found that many of these pouches had mold in them, and you couldn’t see it because of the pouch or even taste it. I’m sure the quality control since then has improved, but any time I see a pouch of juice, I think about that mold incident.

NegativeInf ,

Is that why some brands made the back of the pouch transparent?

PineRune ,

I would assume so. I would also think a lot of people just aren’t comfortable consuming something that they can’t see.

NegativeInf ,

Now if only we could get transparent aluminum cans.

(I mean technically we can? But it wouldn’t be the same. Just super dense synthetic corundum at best.)

resonate6279 ,

Yes

rusticus , in US police use force on 300,000 people a year, with numbers rising since George Floyd: ‘relentless violence’

I wonder if we’ll ever connect the dots. The FBI released a report more than 10 years ago that white supremacists have infiltrated law enforcement agencies throughout the country. Sauce: …wikipedia.org/…/White_Supremacist_Infiltration_o…

TheFriar , in Donald Trump lays blame for assassination attempt on Biden and Harris

Wait—is this the first time he’s done this since the shooting? Huh. I kinda assumed he’d already said it.
