Friends was in a supermarket the other day. He bought an item labelled "Liquid Death".

What the product actually was is something he never buys because he never needs it, but because of the fantastically insane name of the product he said he just had to buy it!

That product? The one named Liquid Death?

Do you want to know what it was?It was a 12 pack of 500ml cans of water

This kind of marketing works, kids. Something so unexpected you just have to buy it!

IIRC liquid death also has some very good policies.

And it was originally created because drinking water isn't cool, and musicians in bands wanted something to drink that looked like energy drinks or alcohol while staying hydrated. They mentioned bands filling empty monster cans with water as an inspiration.

Only in America does the coolness of drinking water ever factor into anything, coca cola successfully brainwashed the entire country lol

[-] frog@feddit.uk 14 points 1 week ago

"Only in America" meaning the United States or the Americas or just North America?

I'm asking because there is a city in Mexico that drinks more Coca-Cola than water.

[-] Johnmannesca@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Yeah, but at least they have high sugar warnings on their beverages, so it's likely nothing compared to what the US does with the only metric measured bottles available in the region (which are typically much cheaper too).

I think it's more beer than coke. It's also for like drinking with friends and not standing out if you don't like alcohol but the rest do.

Edit: maybe I should say also for alcohol rather than more for alcohol.

I saw 6 bands during 2 concerts last week, three of them kinda rock/blues, three of them metal. All of them drank water from normal water bottles while on stage. No one cared.

[-] ObtuseDoorFrame@lemmy.zip 35 points 1 week ago

Liquid Death isn't bottled, it's canned. They're whole gimmick is "death to plastic" which is a little ironic considering that aluminum cans have a plastic lining.

Still, it's a great product. They've eliminated 99.9% of the plastic, so I think the slogan still works.

[-] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

My bad, I'm just used to saying bottled, not canned. Fixed 👍

No joke, their Dr Pepper imitation is delicious and 10 calories per can.

They also have an iced tea called Death to Billionaires which I appreciate.

[-] AtHeartEngineer@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

I normally am against outrageous branding, especially in the overly masculine or nationalistic area, but I think they are pretty solid. Good product, they lean right into the ridiculousness just enough for it to be a little comical, seem to have good messaging, and it's just good. Expensive for what it is though.

[-] obsoleteacct@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago

There is so much of that kind of marketing at this point, that it had not occurred to me until reading this discussion that "Liquid Death" was intended to ironically over the top.

[-] AtHeartEngineer@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

I am pretty sure it is, it seems ironic to me

[-] the_beber@feddit.org 14 points 1 week ago

Everyone who died had water in them. Really makes you think…

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 week ago

“Made by combining Ganges river water, Mexican tap water, and samples directly from the Fukushima reactor, Liquid Death won’t just slake your thirst, it will slay it for the rest of your life.”

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I would never buy bottled water either, but I do have an unopened can of liquid death standing around because it's such a fantastic can. Guests do ask me about it, or pick it up, sometimes. It's always disappointing to them and that's what I feed on.

[-] db2@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Must be really nice beneath that rock your friend has been living under for literally years.

[-] mika_mika@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

This isn't an actual product just fyi it's done by an artist.

[-] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 37 points 1 week ago

It says right on the package.

High Vitamin D

Between that and the "100% Grass" half-and-half next to it...I gotta check out the dairy case at my dispensary. Usually they just have ice cream.

THC infused coffee creamer would make for the best hippie speedball.

Stealing breast milk from another species is pretty damn weird, so probably that.

[-] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 19 points 1 week ago

Calling udders "breasts" is pretty weird bro.

I like to call them "long nipples".

[-] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago

Details shmetails. A teat is a teat. Would you prefer "mammary milk" to be technically correct?

Fun trivia: Did you know, the only other animals to have 2 thoracic and no other teats, besides anthropoids, are elephants and anteaters?

It's just tit juice. Why does it need to be any more freaky?

[-] Iapetus@slrpnk.net 23 points 1 week ago

It already is freakier than that. It's tit juice created via the industrial mass rape of billions of cows worldwide, that are kept in cramped and dirty conditions and seperated from their offspring at birth, so their tit juice can be harvested for profit and human consumption.

PLEASE DRINK ME

She nasty. I like it

They milked the bulls for this...

[-] DFX4509B_2@lemmy.org 12 points 1 week ago

That looks like it came straight out of Sausage Party.

That’s when you accidentally milk a bull.
