It's $1 more and I shop at Aldi because I'm poor.

what's wrong with tapwater?

The real question is why is there cottonelle toilet paper in the background. That shit should be sold out already.

It's poorly filtered and tastes like shit.

>>13779610
its not spring water. It is just filtered water which typically has a shitload of microplastics. if you are going to drink bottled tap water most people buy the store brand.

>>13779610
>6 bucks for a 24 pack of water
I more convinced this virus was created by Toilet Paper, Water bottle, and Ramen Noodle companies to make bank on retards.

>>13779610
Tastes like shit. It's worse than even the worst tap water I've ever had.

>>13779610
wallahi, dasani was my favorite pornstar of the early 00's

>will need more toilet paper in a few weeks s figured I'd buy a pack while I'm out shopping for groceries
>fuckers bought it all
Fucking idiots hoarding toilet paper for no reason.

>>13779800
normies think hoarding toilet paper will help them not get the flu when they literally aren't stockpiling food
I just can't imagine thinking like that how is it so fucking popular?
I'm starting to unironically ree

>>13779800
the best part is there are shortages only because they are hoarding it

>>13779820
Are you in Australia? This is making international news about Australians, and it's pretty fucking funny.

Hot tip, Australia: ever heard of a shower?

they'd rather hoard fibre supplements because it allows you to shit out clean logs that don't really require any further wiping.

AHRAHGHGHARHGHGH I'M A CORONAZOMBIE
BZZOOOOOZOOOOOZOOZZOOOOOOOO

>>13779800
Give it 2 weeks and everything will probably be back to normal.
Retards panicking are still retards.
Also toilet is the most worthless thing in these types of situations.

>>13779610
It fucking tastes like stagnant pool water.

It's more expensive and comes in smaller quantities than even CVS or Wal-Greens branded water.

It's the second worst bottled water I've ever had second only to Aquafina - that will always be the worst in my book.

Trust me, I've tried to like Dasani because the bottles are rigid and sturdy as fuck, and it's a Coke product (my last name is pronounced as such), but holy shit, how do you fuck up water that bad.

The local pizzeria near me used to run a Coke fountain, and somehow it produced the very best tasting water I've ever had come out of a tap in the US.

Don't know how it happened, I ended up working a place not 500 feet away that had a Pepsi fountain and that water was nigh undrinkable. Then, years later, I stop by to say what's up and the pizzeria gave up Coca-Cola for bepis, and sure as shit, their water sucks now.

I really miss that water. So crisp, dry, cold, flavorful and still fairly neutral. It made me happy to drink it, and I could easily make myself sick by drinking too much of it - that's how delicious it was.

Same here. All the cheap shit is gone from wallmart. But no one will touch Dasani.

Did any of you grow up on well water rsther than city/municipal tap water/ I grew up on well water and I like dasani. Something about the added minerals maybe? I don't like Arrowhead usually, Crystal Geyser is ok.

Best water coming through

>>13779879
wrong

>>13779864
Yes, and I've lived outside of the US, as well as traveled extensively

Canada has really nice tap water

Dasani tastes heavily of chemicals to me.

>>13779883
Yikes, mine is 10 cents a bottle.

>>13779885
yet mine is still better, cope harder poorfag. alternatively just use a zerowater.

>>13779887
What? I can't hear you from atop my mountain of Kirkland gold bars! Maybe you'd have gold bars too if you didn't waste it all on sparkling ditch runoff!

>>13779899
i have cases of members mark water anyway, probably comes from the same bottling plant. still have my electrolytes though, unlike you.

CORONA ZOMBIE HAAAAAAAAARRRRRRR

is that nirvana water still around?
that stuff is good

>>13779902
>muh electrolytes
shut the fuck up you sparkling faggot

>>13779938
ok mr dehydrated plastic nigger

>buying bottled water during a pandemic
>buying toilet paper for a respiratory disease
Honestly, how much would we really lose if the virus killed a few million?

>>13779610
The company that owns them wants to tax people on clean tap water so that they're forced to buy bottled. It's also just flavorless distilled water at twice the price of literally any store brand.

>>13779948
drastically less than we'd gain

>>13779942
That pic reminds me that Walmart stopped carrying King's Kimchi and replaced it with Nasoya, which barely has any flavor.

Do people actually not like dasani or is this some meme? Its the best tasting bottled water I've tried.

>>13779942
I would have bought the mushrooms to use for risotto

>>13779620
My tap water smells like spoiled eggs

>>13781163
well water gross. can't you just get a reverse osmosis system for your house or some shit?

>tfw Scottish
>delicious flouride free water whenever I want it, free of charge

>>13779820
flat earth 2.0. It's a manufactured craze to study mob thinking and rumor propagation.
Just be grateful they haven't realized you can't eat TP

>>13779825
It's mostly niggers, slant eyes, wogs and mudshits. White Australians have common sense.

>>13779610
IT'S MADE BY TEH JOOOZ

>>13779610
dasani tastes fucking awful

i hate the sulphur taste of dasani
its literal doo doo water tier when its room temp

>>13779610
Its um, "collected", filtered and sold by Coca Cola

>>13781222
why are white australians so racist

>>13781256
Just stating facts, poof

>>13781269
The only person I've actually seen overbuy toilet paper was a white guy. A fresh load had just been stacked on the shelf and he took about twenty four-packs and carried them to the register with a weird smug look on his face.

>>13779821
>there are shortages only because they are hoarding it
Same thing happened with 22lr a few years ago.

>>13779821
The best part will be when the hoarders aren't buying toilet paper for a very long time because they already have too much, so the toilet paper starts selling at a heavy discount to keep the product moving. That's when I'M going to stock up big time.

>>13779800
That's the problem mentality
>I need to get some before everyone else buys it.
>Said everyone
>I might aswell buy a little more just in case I can't get more later

>>13781177
>Free
Get a load of this kilt lifting haggis prodder

>>13779832
This. People are just panic buying because they're scared and buying stuff feels like a way of doing something, taking back a modicum of control and they're seeing other people doing it, so it must be the smart thing to do.

>>13779620
>drinking tapwater

>>13779623
not everywhere is filled with morons panicking.

In my area most stores still have plenty of dry goods, canned goods, frozen goods, toilet paper, and bottled water.

>>13779820
>literally aren't stockpiling food
Ive been out of town for the past week and im heading home tomorrow. Last i heard there is no food there(denver)

>>13781277
Hairy muff

>>13781171
>reverse osmosis system for your house or some shit?
I have city water anon

>>13779610
lmao
why are you guys stocking up on TP

>>13779610
It's owned by coca cola. So it costs more, tastes worse, and probably has poison in it.

>>13781352
People are convinced they need a year's supply or they won't make it through the virus.

>>13781256
because they commited a damn near genocide. Because they're mongrels in denial.
They're like America was a century ago. young and insecure.
They're at a different stage of development

>>13781355
but why TP?
I mean, food sure, but TP?

>>13781359
I think the idea is that if the virus gets bad, they want to be able hunker down in their homes for a non-defined length of time and TP is "essential" for doing that. That and other people are buying it and it's in short supply, so it must be the right thing to buy.

Preppers are mentally ill and therefore poor.

Don't forget to prep the bull.

>>13779942
The Soyrizo and Kimchi are legit, also Tofu if you do something like Mapo Tofu

I watched a couple of Fiji faggots on youtube do a water blind taste test and they preferred the Dasani. It's all in your heads, elitists

>>13779820
people are stocking food, the canned goods section at my local was massacred all I wanted was some chowdah

>>13781359
heavily publicized pictures of asians who were hoarding it to make surgical masks translated into some paranoid WHITE australians buying it. So when dumb white people in the USA saw THOSE pictures I think they got confused and thought there was going to be some kind of shortage, which has thus translated into an actual shortage because of herd mentality
It's just low IQ stuff but it's created an actual real problem

>>13781415
I think it's interesting people are stocking up on canned and dry shit when even if this gets bad, we'll still have power, there's no reason to not go for frozen or refrigerated stuff. I'm convinced half of these panic buyers are gonna get tired of eating out of cans and "risk it" to the store to buy normal food in no time.

>>13781291
seething fluoride tranny

>>13781448
There's a lot more storage space outside the freezer than in it.

>>13781448
panic buyers aren't acting rationally, isn't that the idea?

I live in Manhattan and, despite all of the reports of crazed New Yorkers damn near murdering each other for scraps of food, I decided to visit the supermarket for some minor items I forgot.

...supermarket around the corner from me was stocked to the ceiling with damn near everything and the place was empty of people. I shopped at my leisure and doubled up on things that would be nice to have. I don’t hoard things I wouldn’t normally eat anyway, so if there is no pandemic I’ll just have groceries for a month or two.

There were only two items that were completely sold out: 1. Clorox Wipes and 2. Free Range Chicken (only the nasty factory farm chicken). Oh well, already have those at home.

Kicking back now watching the Friday the 13th marathon and enjoying the piece and quiet.

>>13779623
Staged photo since this whole thing is a hoax

>>13779821
Manufactured scarcity. It's the stupidest of all mentalities because these people are creating their own problem when none would ordinarily exist.

>>13781495
Yeah, but a lot of these panic buyers are only buying a couple of weeks of food.

>>13781622
Honestly even that is probably overkill. It's a short term virus, not World War 3. You get sick for a couple days then feel better and resume a normal life. Most of the people cowering in fear for the next 6 months afraid to go out are just pussies.

>>13779615
If youre poor, why do you want to stay alive?

>>13781674
There's also the oil price war and threat of recession.

>>13781332
I'm so sorry you live in the third world anon

>>13779940

>muh electrolytes
You do realize that you can just eat food, right anon?

>>13779610
Finally a thread on /ck/ about the coronavirus, this is just what I needed.

>>13781703
Which would also not be a problem if people would just stop panicking and act normally. Fuck's sake it's a minor virus, not the bubonic plague

>>13779800
same, only got like 4 rolls left. fucking stupid hoarders.

>>13779800
>tfw ibs so bad doctors have no idea what to do
>tfw I go through an embarrassing amount of paper each poo
>tfw only a few rolls left and even the store brand single ply sand paper rolls are gone

>>13781772
Vaseline your rectum before you poop so it's easier to wipe.

>>13779610
Overpriced and BPA = Estrogen

>>13779610
Niggers drink it

>>13779800
>Go to my store to buy some beans and pasta today because I realized my food stockpile could use some touching up
>MFW it's full to the brim with retards panicking over toilet paper and canned vegetables
Do these retards not know what to actually stockpile in case of an emergency? Do they assume if they did get the kung flu that the National Guard would just weld their doors shut and not give them any food? I mean I'm just as dumb as they are since I was in a crowded store when an easily transmittable disease is going around, but at least I wasn't stabbing a man in the liver over one-ply toilet paper.

>>13781774
Just tried this and it didn't work. All it did was mix with the poop and make it slimier. Thanks for fucking nothing.

>>13781698
Because the beer won't drink itself newfag

>>13779800
>stopped using toilet paper in 2017
>gravitated to wet wipes
>never looked back since

Is this what its like to be amongst the 1%? Making non pleb tier decisions and repeating much better benefits from it compared to your average American/European citizen?


The world just showed itself as loving the idea of smearing its own shit against its inner butt cheeks using bone dry toilet paper, and expecting to have a clean ass afterwards. The world literally wiped out shelves and shelves of bone dry toilet paper within a 2 or 3 day time span because it loves the idea of using bone dry toilet paper in an attempt to clean the shit from it's own ass and expecting to have clean results.


Am I really the only one in this world who enjoys the idea of having a clean ass whilst using wet wipes? Jesus Christ.

>>13779750
>Toilet Paper
its not like toilet paper is going to be used more in a long run

>>13779883
Gerolsteiner is unironically the best water I've had

>>13781919
k e k lube butt!!!!!!!!!11

>>13781359
Because we wipe our asses after we shit, what don't you understand?

>>13779620
When the water stops flowing or becomes contaminated what are you gonna drink?

>>13781332
I live in Finland and everyone here drinks tap water. Only times bottled water is bought when people are going for long car trips in a hot weather. The sparkling water sells also fine.

>>13779820
This is only true in some places. My parents live in Westchester County NY, which is basically ground zero at this point, and they sent me pictures of their local ShopRite being absolutely wiped out of everything from canned food to produce.
Meanwhile I live in North Carolina and while my Wal-Mart is completely out of water, toilet paper, soap and disinfectant, the food selection is hardly touched. Went today and had free run over the produce area while retards were panicking around me grabbing anything dry. Me? I bought fresh vegetables, meat and some pasta.

>>13779821
Was behind a woman in the store this morning telling her husband on the phone
>yeah they have toilet paper here... We usually get two, so maybe four? I don't wanna be one of these nutcases stockpiling but because of them we may not be able to get more.

>>13781948
No one thinks it results in a clean ass, just "clean enough" until they can shower at the end of the day and really scrub it. I don't like the feeling of wetness in my ass so even if I used wet wipes I'd still have to follow up with dry TP anyway.

>>13782140
Well she's right. Stores need to start enforcing a limit per person but they won't because of greed.

>>13782228
Welcome to late stage capitalism!

>>13781287
That's human nature. You can't change human nature, you could have bought some extra toilet paper when the hoarding of toilet paper in Japan came into the news.

Lets this be a lesson. Always be first at being part of the problem.

>>13782313
>That's human nature
I must be superhuman then, because I'm not stupid enough to panic.

>>13782313
>>13782321
Called home to check in. My dumbass boomer dad insisted on going shopping today of all days, right when the stores are most crowded, despite the fact they didn't even need anything. In the background I could hear my mom say "make sure you get toilet paper." Guess I won't have parents in a month.

>>13779829
andy is that you??

>>13781948
Bidet is better

>>13782313
Yeah but the Japanese are crazy. No one takes anything they do seriously.

Joking aside, nobody was hording toilet paper for SARS, bird flu, swine flu, h1n1, etc. Why is this any different?

>>13781222
australians are the niggers of whites

>>13782332
Mine too, except he's planning on going Sunday for fuck's sake. Just to get some vitamins. Like, fuck your vitamins, what good are they when you're dead? Christ sakes people.

>>13782346
Boomers are fucking retarded.

>>13781163
Sounds like sulfur.

>>13782358
It sounded normal as for as I could tell. Only the smell was weird.

it's not the fear of going out and getting sick, it's the fear of a government-enforced quarantine, where people are required to stay home

>>13782122
That's not gonna happen because COVID-19.

>>13782463
There are not enough officials in the country to force 330 million people to stay at home.

>>13779620

That's what I'm wondering. The neighboring towns all have good water and aren't likely to shut it down. And I have two water wells -- one with an electric pump and the other is a windmill.

If shut in for a few months, water is the least of my worry.

>>13782228
"Greed" doesnt make any sense.
They would make the same amount of money whether it was one person buying everything or 100 people each buying a little bit.
These stores should be required to limit sales during moments like this.
Hell even food lion has a limit of 4 on their normal MVP sales

>>13782479
Not the whole country, but you never know if your town will be the next "containment zone" like New Rochelle. It's the fear of the unknown that is driving this.

>>13782512
Only works in blue voter territory anyway.

>>13782512
Well my town's already been infected for 2 weeks and no one gave a shit so it's too late for a quarantine now.

>>13782345
Still white unlike you el mutto

>>13782481
Hopefully you live 50 miles from civilization because a lot of wells have contaminants nowadays.

>>13782538
Thx trumpity!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wD79NZroV88

>>13782490
Greed does make sense. The stores don't care who they sell to, if one asshole buys the whole stock, as long as it sells and this is an easy time to move entire shipments of toilet paper and hand sanitizer.

>>13779620
if you live in a town/building with decent tasting tap water you should consider yourself lucky

where my PH10 Alkaline Chads at?

>>13782702
as someone who works with chemists/toxicologists, let me say that as of 2020 we've gotten very, very good at measuring things, even the tiniest trace amounts. i could find fecal bacteria in virtually any sample you gave me.
then again, idk about that story. maybe they found a non-trivial amount but yeah

>>13782697
Price gouging is illegal in first world countries.
And it's defined as raising prices more than 10% your regular retail pice during shtf situations

>>13782861
This. It's illegal in most places and all these companies want good PR in the wake of this with all their "we care about your safety, so we're cleaning our stores even more" messages so people don't get too paranoid to go out and shop, they don't want to be painted as that asshole company that price gouged when the plague hit.

>>13779820
>normies
>Normalfags pretending to be normalfags

>>13781948
even the "flushable" wet wipes cause a lot of very expensive damage to sewage systems, both your own and the municipality's, and if you're not flushing them, you're throwing them in the trash, in which case you have a trash can full of poop in your bathroom.

>>13783026
So empty it out in the dumpster outside?

>carbonated water

>>13783102
Who told you regular Dasani is carbonated?

>>13779864
Grew up in idaho and it's tap water tasted the most normal. Traveled to California and had tap water there and didn't taste the difference between the two, I'm now in Washington and the water tastes like dirt but not dirty.
Water's water. As long as it dont kill me and is clear I dont really care.

I'm drinking tap water now. It tastes great. Oregon btw.

>>13779800
I bought 6 rolls last weekend just in case this shit happened. pro tip: it did. I'm set for clean shits for the next 6 months

anyone want to see my spreadsheet? I know all the bad shit that's going to happen next. pro tip: you'll reject it because of normalcy bias

>>13782228
A food limit right now, would result in martial law. Think about it. These people are panicking over ass-wipes, what do you think is going to happen when you tell them they can't have unlimited quantities of their Chef Boyardee's and chiggin tendies?

>>13782343
This. Every year it's something new and more paranoid than the last thing. I've been around since the nukes scare, and acid rain, and this shit just get tiring. I can't even take real tragedies seriously anymore, until I've spent a month of my free time investigating if it's truth first. By then, I usually don't care anymore.

>>13783166
What's going to happen next, anon?

>>13782343
Social media.

>>13783206
What about social media??

>>13783213
Emotional contagion is proliferating more rapidly than ever.

>>13783219
This. People are saying some pretty stupid shit on there just for the twitter version of (you)s

This is, by far, the worst-tasting brand of bottled water I've ever had.

>>13783203

Are you in Los Angeles? Because that's really common here.

>>13783275
The virus ain't that fatal though.

People who think Dasani is bad haven’t had Aquafina

>>13782709
Extend please

>>13783166
You're literally the reason this problem exists at all, you fucking retard.

>>13783641
Aquafina is some of the worst shit I've ever drank and I have no idea why. I can barely drink half a bottle before I feel done with it even if I still feel thirsty. Brita filtered tap water is miles better. For me though, it's the 1.5 liter of deer park or 1.5 liter life waters

>>13781534
Which supermarket dude?

>>13779750
>He can't afford $0.25 for a bottle of water

There' s this thing falling from the sky. Its kinda wet and runny.

>>13779800
Home Depot, Lowe's, ACE, etc... all have plenty of it along with paper towels, wet wipes, and hand sanitizer.
The idiot soccer moms who panic bought everything at the grocery stores have no idea hardware stores sell some of the same shit.

>>13779610
Dasani and Aquafina are literally filtered tap water. Just get a Brita.

>>13783817
Yea but the government owns that.

It's (poorly) filtered municipal water bottled by Coca-Cola. Aquafina is also just filtered tap water, but Pepsi has better filtering process and consequently it tastes better.

Water goes through ceramic?

I'm in the tri-cities. It doesnt taste bad it just tastes like it has a lot of minerals in it compared to Idaho water. If anything is wrong it's probably the pipes, yeah.
I have a fridge that has a filter and water dispenser so I just use that 9/10 but in the middle of the night when I get a sip of water from my bathroom sink it just tastes different.

This is dangerouos bullshit. Activated carbon does NOT eliminate bacteria, that water would not be safe to drink without boiling

>>13786053
A little chlorine can help in a pinch if you're not able to boil. But it won't kill everything, so drink sparingly.

>there are people who didn't start preparing 2 months ago when China QUARANTINED NEARLY HALF ITS POPULATION BECAUSE OF THE FUCKING "FLU"

ramen, pasta, bread all sold out in the stores i've been to, as well as tp. the funny thing is eating those wheat products actually make you have messy shits that require lots of tp. try eating only protein for 1 day and see how neat your shit comes out.

China also eats dogs, should we be emulating everything they do?

>>13785400
>Deja-Blue™
holy based

>>13786074
yes

>>13786053
Not him but the ceramic actually filters the water itself. In addition to the carbon it's not a bad system. Though of course the more obvious solution would be to just fucking boil the water and not fuck around.

>>13786103
You really should do both if possible. Not all harmful contaminants are biological.

>>13786110
correct answer. boiling leaves in the inorganic contaminants like lead and shit, carbon filter removes those but leaves in bacteria

>>13786074
I mean

do you have a good reason for not eating dogs?

Glad I prepped a month ago but geez.

I think these people are banking on the virus not being common in their area yet, thinking they beat it to the store so if they stock up now they don't have to go out when it arrives which is stupid, but still.

>>13786236
Considering there's only 48 deaths in the US out of 330 million people I'd say it's not common anywhere. I don't know where these people are getting their numbers that 70% of the world is going to succumb to this.

>>13779610
>want to stay hydrated so i can keep being alive
>don't want to drink dasani

what do?

>>13786331
Drink tap water? If the taste is nasty, try boiling it and/or just get some bulk package of tea bags and make a lot of tea.

How are you living off bottled water in the first place?

>>13779610

Look at all those Snapples on the right. Why are people buying water and not juice and Snapples?

>>13786426

>>13786400

Exact same situation here. Just stacks and stacks of Dasani everywhere. I snagged the very last case of Ozarka. Fuck that filtered tapwater shit, I only put natural spring water in my body.

>>13779610
Honestly you people laugh at toilet paper hoarders, but you really dont have enough toilet paper yourselves. The average person uses 1 roll per day. If you have a family of 4, that's 28 rolls a week. Over 100 a month. TP rolls will be worth their weight in gold in a few months, because everyone needs it.

>>13779800
"Hoarding" 100~ rolls because boomers are panicking isn't an absurd thing to do.

>>13779620
Its hard and tastes weird. Bottle water is smooth and doesn't have a weird taste.

>>13786832
How much toilet paper do you use?

>>13786681
>The average person uses 1 roll per day

>im actually surprised stores arent taking advantage of the panic and raising prices even a little

Michigan is pouncing on any store that's even remotely accused of gouging. Some grocery store in Dearborn got slapped with a letting from the governor and inspectors were sent there to check prices after only five people complained about the prices.

>>13784372

Damn...

I went grocery shopping Wednesday for regular stuff, not even looking to stock up and the Meijers (12 Mile and Mound in Warren MI) was completely normal but I did buy more canned food then usual and picked up an 18-roll pack of toilet paper even though I already have an unopened 18-roll pack.

Then I see news articles being posted Thursday morning about grocery stores in Grand Rapids and such being cleaned out by panicked shoppers...

Just to be safe, I hit the smoke shop Friday and got two more cartons of smokes.

>>13783206
Social media is telling me that it is a nothingburger and that it is just the flu bro. It is also telling me that masks are dangerous to wear, that i should not make my own hand sanitizer, and that washing hands is the miracle cure to the problem.

>not having a water filter

North Americans truly are degenerates who hate themselves and the planet they live on

>>13787140
There’s so many stores and eateries in Mound Rd. open at all hours, surrounded by nice neighborhoods. These people probably already have a surplus of food in their homes and know they have vast grocery stores.

>>13786681

One roll a day for an average person!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's unbelievable.

I might use a roll a week, but I've never tried to measure it.

>>13787140

I stocked up on Indian curry sauces.

Also, an extra bottle of Hibiclens.

>>13787187
Its a copypasta.

>>13787108
Squirrels are also dumb fucks that get run over by cars.

>>13786681
A roll a day per person? nigga wat

>>13786400
They didnt leave ALL that dasani. A Coke sales rep ordered more of it in to fill the empty spots since walmart cant keep up with their own stock and dont want it to look empty.

>>13788037
5 coco cola cans have been deposited to your account.

They literally made a water treatment plant, water towers and miles of piping to bring water directly to your house without you lifting a finger.

>>13779820
Here’s what I’ve been thinking: what would be a way to understand if your meme magic is working? Cause a rush on something completely unnecessary (just rinse your ass for 30sec in the shower that’s probably a few feet away). Measure traction, measure demand, resupply, measure every measurable thing about your meme. We will never be privy to that data, but (assuming for the sake of argument it exists) if we had fine-grained data it would be enormously informative and potentially predictive about how people across a wide geography react. Like that faggot in TN that bought 13,000+ bottles of hand sanitizer and who now is in huge fucking trouble from the state AG, knowing the percentage by region of profiteers may be useful too. Or maybe areas of the country are hyper-sensitive to memery and some are zero or even anti-memery. How can resupply be modeled? Random or lined up at 6am? I doubt anyone is smart enough to collect this data, but if they were, boy, you could get some useful models from it.

>>13788037
Don't they realize that makes it look like noone wants Dasani and thus will make people not buy it?

>>13788096
enjoy your fluoride and local pollutants water treatment cant filter

>>13783817
it's actually toxic if you drink it directly without purifying it somehow

>>13779610
I always thought that it tasted like cheaply flavored watermelon candy. it has a weird flavor.

>>13788361
If water treatment plant cant filter it what do the bottled water companies do about it?

>>13781415
Weird thing is that where I live the non perishable stuff is staying on the shelf and the perishable shit is out of stock. Things like milk and juice and shit. Still lots of canned goods and stuff. I went to 4 grocers yesterday. At the two which are located in middle class areas there were huge lines and some empty shelves. At the Upper middle class location it was some what normal. At the high end store it was business as usual. The one common theme from all the stores is that TP is sold out. I guess my fellow 'Murricans are more concerned with taking a shit than having a secure food supply.

>>13788498
that was before industrialization and pollution was a thing
nowadays true pure water is usually only at around mountains and similar mostly untouched wilderness, in most other places you have to at least boil the rain water to be sure that it hasn't picked up stuff from the air on it's way down

ima bout to take a shit then shower!

>>13786400
More like 'My stock photo'.

>>13788081
i work for coke, so whatever
>>13788352
people will buy it though, in my local area the wharehouse just completely ran out of backstocked dasani because so much was sent out. So regardless of what it looks like, people are still buying it.

>>13779740
>t. knows nothing about filtration membranes or particle size distributions and is likely an inbred trailer park hick from West Virginia

>>13781348
is this in america

>>13788498
Even before industrial pollution springs and aquifers could be high in heavy metals, with fluoride having the most obvious effects.

You can LITERALLY taste the plastic that seeps into bottled water. Its unavoidable yes but please don't drink from the plastic menace, get a glass bottle

Here in my first world country
bottled water is called mineral water and comes from very deep wells that have no contact with groundwater. the water is several hundreds if not thousands of years old and contains no pollutants.

>>13781448
All the chicken breasts were sold out at my local store this past Sunday, so people must have it in mind that they will freeze stuff and go through that first, I assume

We probably have a four month supply of toilet paper.

We get it at a Sam's Club. Living 100 miles from the nearest Sam's Club and not making very many trips there in the course of a year means buying plenty when we go.

>>13779610
>He doesn't have a well
>He doesn't have water bricks
>He doesn't have a way to purify water
None of you are going to make it.

>>13789641
All the wells here tested positive for mucho lead contamination

>>13789551
Same here. A month ago, long before the panic hit when our dear leader was still portraying it as a hoax, I bought 2 cases just as a matter of course. I have room to store it so why not.

>>13789641

How the fuck do you exist without using an Intermediate Bulk Container? Did you just graduate?

>>13789687
Well it IS a hoax in the sense that's not a species ending plague like CNN is making it out to be.

>>13789706
>a """"""""world ending virus""""""""""
literally who are you quoting

>>13789987

Do you read anything? Literally every article does the absolute best to scaremonger people into thinking this virus is going to kill you and everyone you love if you aren't washing your hands every 10 seconds

>>13790003
Do you have dyslexia

It's not 10 seconds it's 20 seconds, and 20 seconds is the amount of time you're supposed to spend scrubbing your hands with soap

and again, there isn't a single articles or news reports on CNN or anywhere that says it's a species/world end plague/virus

I know you hate liberals and whatever, but maybe don't get upset at stuff that you just make up in your own head.

>>13790003
And even if normies aren't following the news, just having all this shit cancelled and closed is a new thing, same with the level of panic buying. We've had pandemics before but never a reaction like this. It's easy to fall for the whole "the end times are nigh upon us" angle at the moment.

I have connections to people that work with public water. Your water will not stop running. They are being staffed right now. I heard one treatment plant planned to quarantine its staff in the plant with enough food. another is rotating staff having different people come in different days. not sure what everyone's plans are but you wont run out of water.

>>13790019

You're right, we're willing to close down entire schools, restaurants, public gatherings and have even whales panic sell in the stock market because of this harmless pandemic.

That's totally normal of a pandemic, because we did the same thing for ebola, sars, avain flu, and all the others

retard

>>13779610
It's Atlanta tap water, might as well just drink out of the hose nigga

>>13790032
okay so what, is the transmission rate supposed to be a SJW ploy or what.

One one hand, CNN bad because they create panic because you think they said it was a world ending apocalypse or whatever

and now you come at me with "well if it's NOT the end of the world, why are they closing down schools and restaurants?????"

pick a lane and stick to it.

>we did the same thing for ebola, sars, avain flu, and all the others

You wanna have a look at their transmission rate compared to corona? or should I do the homework for you

>>13790047

Being obtuse is an art and you have fucking mastered it, although that may be a side effect of having zero reading comprehension holy shit u r dum

>>13790026
That's nice to know but plenty of folk live in places where the tap water ain't fit to drink in the first place.

>>13790055
>Being obtuse
Literally nothing I said was obtuse. You're the one who's coming at this issue from completely different angles and you're making your own head spin to trigger the libtards instead of looking at reality.

The rate of transmission of this shits all over anything we've dealth with before

Saying "it's very contagious" is not the same as "world ending plague", anon. And the news outlets haven't just been saying it's super contagious.

>>13789047
Boiling it does not get rid of chemical contamination, which is present in all tap water

>>13790075
Again, who are you quoting

>>13782512
