        Which concert doesn’t sell drinks in (reusable) cups?

        And for festivals I still will go with some 5L canisters full of water over a lot of cans

          What bougie venue you been to that uses anything more fancy than a clear solo cup? Every concert I’ve been to in the last… 5 years at LEAST has been either a plastic bottle with the cap removed, a clear plastic cup, or a liquid death.

            At least here in Germany everyone is selling drinks (beer as well as Softdrinks) from the tap in cups with usually 1 or 2 euros as a deposit so people don’t throw them to the ground and create a hazard

            Often the cups are also branded from the band so I collected a couple over the years

    Because the average person is stupid and will pay $4 for fucking water because it looks like an energy drink.

          Yes and it’s still infinitely recyclable, unlike plastic bottles. 70% of all aluminum ever produced is still in circulation thanks to how efficient aluminum recycling is, including epoxy lined cans.

          So I will enjoy.

            Does the liner contribute to microplastics in whatever is contained? Genuine question, that’d be a point against the epoxy liner. Of course any solution would have to include an effective replacement, so 🤷 Wax, maybe?

    I used to get them all the time. I’m basically addicted to carbonated water and these offer tall can versions vs plastic bottles or smaller cans.

    Eventually I just switched to a sodastream though, waaay cheaper
