The reason venues live the cans is that that can’t be recapped after opening, so they are harder to refill so you keep buying more instead of reupping in the bathroom.

I hate this brand, we now pay 6$ for water from a stupid can instead of having water bottles at festivals for 1-2$, the dude who owns it is friends with insomniacs owner, ruined water supply at every festival redbull is typically cheaper than water now at 4$.

They throw away caps either way, but like 50% of ppl are nice and let you keep them

Also to keep people from throwing full bottles of capped water at people and hurting them
Lightor@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I think a full can of water would hurt more

Either of them closed are miserable to get hit by, they become a rigid body and absolutely smash. When the tops are open, they’ll expend most of their energy squrting the water out the opening, unless you’re REALLY good at throwing them opening first.
The scary part about cans is you can peel the aluminum back and turn them into impromptu shivs or slicers.

Where the fuck were you getting $2 water at festivals? I remember paying $5 for anything to drink back when the Mayhem Festival was still a thing.

Insomniac like the video game company? Are they problematic? Or am I misunderstanding?

The company behind massive music festivals like EDC.
toynbee@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Ah, thank you. That makes more sense.
3dmvr@lemm.ee 5 weeks ago
The company that has a monopoly on music festivals now, post covid especially.

Ah, thank you. That makes more sense.

They keep raising prices, keep overselling down to the night of, damn near get crowd crushed every other festival, I kinda stopped going to the more mainstream ones because of it

Forget your water backpack or theres a fat line? Liquid Death is there to empty your wallet, or you can die to dehydration.

Cans are actually recyclable. That’s the benefit. The rest is marketing.
Red Bull doesn’t give you wings either.
