@@Tinylittledansonmanyeah I think you're right for the most part. There are so many times in my adult life I turn down drinking when I'm out. No one, a new person I just met or an old friend, has ever ostracized me when I told them I wasn't drinking that night which was most.
What's weird is that their flavored sparkling water is good, BUT with that being said, it's still sparkling water, but they sweeten it with agave, and the lime is like a less sugary sprite, and other flavors that I forget, but it's not bad
It’s been popular in rock scenes for a while now with concerts where everyone is drinking for those straight edge or just underage. As well as cases of water bottles being given out to keep people from passing out so one that reduces plastic waste has been great (:
All single use items are bad whether they're recyclable or not. This kind of mindset is so harmful. "Well actually it's "good" for the environment so it's definitely worth $10 and you don't have to feel bad about using them cause it's not plastic!" like how soft in the head to you have to be to buy into this shit. Also at concerts, I've never seen them give out Liquid Death in place of water bottles lol. Usually venues give out small disposable cups of water. How the hell is a $10 can of water a good solution to the plastic bottle problem at concerts that doesn't exist
@@inyrui saying “it’s also not good” is not an answer to the question as to what’s better, and objectively cans are better for recycling than plastic. Getting rid of single use items is the goal but is not possible, you really gotta be “soft in the head” as you say to think getting rid of single use is at all feasible so the best solution is to reduce the impact, which cans do. To your point of, I haven’t seen it so it doesn’t exist means nothing as I am pointing out what I notice in my sphere of music.
The story I heard for the creation of Liquid Death is that the guy was at a concert and he saw the band members slamming down tall cans of monster. He then acquired a can to see that it’s monster branded “tour water” so the band could promote monster energy drinks. And another thing they wanted to do is make drinking water “cool” so you don’t have to be that awkward one drinking “La croix” when others are drinking beer.
I've known about this. It's pretty neat and amusing to me. Basically the branding of like an energy drink with the healthiness of water plus the recycling ability of like tin cans. Edit I I aluminum cans
Well... it kind of increases demand for tin's minerals, which is definitely not a good thing as tin deposits will deplete quicker should this trend of tin-can water become a thing. And plastic bottles are actually reusable, whereas tin cans... not so much.
I had one of these at a concert. My dad handed it to me and my mom said, "What's going on here?!" Because she thought it was alcohol lmao. And yes, I will admit, I felt rather cool holding that boujee ass bottle💀
aluminum is a lot better to recycle than plastic, and people who are sober can drink with their friends and not feel like the odd one out drinking from a plastic bottle. my sister buys a different brand that looks like a bud light lol edit: i commented this before i got to the point where you said almost verbatim what i said haha
Aluminum is usually recycled more often than plastic but an increase in demand for aluminum cans (should companies migrate from tin -> plastic) implies in necessity for more mining companies which is definitely not better for the environment. So it's not environmentally sound. (Whereas plastic bottles comes from oil byproduct, byproduct of which is already sitting there unused anyway).
I think one good thing about Lquid Death's branding I heard from somewhere is that it's really easy to blend in during parties with beer and all that if you're just not big on drinking. That's the only W that it can really have other than its marketing.
I love how they put just plain water in a can to be more eco friendly especially since most canned water is flavored or carbonated so I usually just drink from a plastic bottle and feel wasteful. I tried liquid death and I just like being able to drink water from a can rather than a bottle and it’s nice to know that I’m being more eco friendly with buying from this company.
It is fine to drink from plastic bottles if you reuse them. Reuse is infinitely better than recycle. If your tap water is so poor quality that you have to drink externally packaged water, then yeah, cans might be better
First time I heard of/had Liquid Death is when I was in Kuwait. For reference, in Kuwait we had bottled water that had so much added shit in it that we even had one nicknamed "Kidney Stone Water". This was needed though since it got so hot there, you needed water with a good amount of minerals (including salt) so your body can absorb more of it. So when I got Liquid Death, I realized just how used to Kuwait water I had gotten. Liquid Death tasted like *nothing*, which in itself means it tasted damn good and it was something to remind me of home.
I remember the commercials for this last year and at first I thought it was a joke. Then I learned it wasn’t. That was definitely an “Oh, wait, you’re serious. Let me laugh even harder” situation.
Thank god someone is talking about this. I keep thinking this is beer when I see it in stores. I have heard that metal cans are better for the environment than plastic bottles, so I kind of want to buy it now.
@@psyopskunk true. also never hear people talking about the plastic on the inside of aluminum cans (the reason why the water doesn't taste like aluminum) that isn't recyclable, where waterbottles are.
@@Denni55 For me I just find it sad that people are too lazy sometimes to *fill up a bottle* that takes maybe 30 seconds yet they'll go and take the time to search for a case of water and grab one every time they need some water. I've owned this baby for 3 YEARS now. Can't even imagine how much that would have been in water bottles since I drink maybe 5-6 glasses worth of straight water a day...
I was at a music festival and they had a whole pop up “country club” and you could join it by signing away your soul and they gave you a metal membership card. Like ??? The country club itself was just a lil liquid death “bar” where they gave away cans for free and you could buy too. Had a fountain and people playing violins and all. Felt like a fever cream 💀💀
I was at an event just two weeks ago and they had Liquid Death on sale at the bar. I had heard of it, but didn't know what it was. I thought it was a beer or an energy drink. I asked for one and they charged me $5, I cracked it, and took a swig of.... (like you said) regular ass water... I was confused what I just paid $5 for.
@@MooseShower bars charge waaaay more money for everything. i hate going to bars because i could spend two or three drinks worth on an entire bottle of liquor and have a bunch of friends over to play games or something. bars are a total waste of money.
@@vivyvan There are issues around aluminium mining for the cans, as well as the more single use nature of canned beverages. You can reuse plastic bottles, I do plenty of times. But apparently it comes down to what happens to recycling after it is used. What portion of recycled materials ends up in South-East Asia (which would equally still apply with plastics), but also what other impacts do cans have over plastics too. I am no statistician in this regard, and my research comes mainly from the statements of others; but apparently it is still rather a minute difference. I certainly don't want a bird to choke a plastic bottle from the trash islands, but would the same apply for cans if it was a whole substitute?
As someone who drinks Austrian spring water every day, because they’re literally from Austria, buying Liquid Death is literally the same as just drinking tap water for me.
@@davidengvik9379 whenever I visit my family in Kosovo, I drink water from their well and I swear there’s no water on earth that’s crisper than that 😩 water in America just doesn’t hit the same
The other day I tried water from the faucet and let me tell you it tasted very much like water. In fact it was more water than water. Then I decided to go bold and try water from the garden hose and to my surprise it tasted like water. In conclusion water that I've tried tasted like water.
@@zadraking I’m not sure about that. I feel like he’s just digging on a big demographic of annoying people. I also don’t think Noel is considerably white, so that sort of debunks that.
I finally tried this stuff. The still water is, as expected, just typical every day bottled water but in a can. I also tried the sparkling and it's actually really good. As good as perrier imo
My coworker wouldn't shut up about Liquid Death, about how it's water but "so much better" and I gave up, I tried it, I love water. I was so disappointed.
The 'fans' of the drink are like that part in the first Space Jam where Bugs Bunny has a drink called "Michael's Secret Stuff" which was just a bottle of water and all the Toonies were drinking it like it was some revitalizing tincture.
I like the aesthetic, it does taste rly good as far as water goes, and it’s just a fun sensory experience to drink water out of a cold can. I did enjoy this video tho haha
the consumption experience literally does affect how something tastes to your brain. a lot of people associate canned drinks with yummy flavor, so it makes sense that people would like water out of a can more than water out of a bottle. I mean ~ i definitely like canned soda over bottled soda.
Atleast cans get recycled. I worked at Poland Springs for years and realized all companies greenwash customers by saying "100% recyclable" giving the impression that they're eco-friendly but are blatantly misleading and don't make any effort at all to recycling.
I was just talking about this to my s/o the other day when I saw their merch!! I was like brooooo this is why marketing and branding is so important. The graphic designers deserve a raise.
This is more of a case that the graphic designer, singular by the way, doesn't deserve a raise but the people who actually bought beer priced water deserve to be shamed lol.
In middle school I was diagnosed with a heart condition that's prevented me from ever drinking energy drinks, but by high school all my friends were pounding down at least one Monster or similar drink a day. I can see myself drinking liquid death back then to feel more "part" of things? It could be targeted for those in certain communities where energy drinks are prevelant but the buyer wants to be more health-conscious. 🤷♀️
That too. Their main demographic is "peaople who can't or don't want to have alcohol, but want something that looks like it so they don't feel left out or get made fun of" and honestly what are energy drinks if not alcohol children can have? (not literally but yknow what I mean) - the weird trend might have gone a bit far but the company kows what they're trying to do, and the thing they're trying to do is unambiguously good.
I'm loving that for the fundraiser everyone else has these paragraph sequel things then Scott's is just, "Get that plastic out of the dang ocean" Loving that
I work at an amazon warehouse and pack a SURPRISING amount of Liquid Death 12 packs per day, sometimes even people getting multiple boxes per order. I always wondered wtf they where lol
Never sign a contract that gives someone your soul. I don't care if it's a joke, I ain't takin’ any chances. when the ceo of liquid death rolls up to your house and tries to jazz hand your soul out of your body, You won't be laughing.
Funny story, I was driving with a couple empty cans of Liquid Death in my backseat & one in my cup holder I was drinking. I got pulled over an the officer thought I was drinking an driving. I was explaining to him that it was water and he really didn’t believe me, I handed him the can he read it an and smelled it an said “I’ll be damned, I seen you drinking it at the light an thought you were crazy drinking an driving, but now I feel like the crazy one” he literally laughed for a whole 20 minutes and took pictures of the cans 🤣😂the cans really look like beer cans.
I haven't seen a bunch of marketing for this, but I saw a TH-camr describe it as water for sober people at parties so they could have a cool drink and not feel lesser drinking bottled water at the party and that kind of sold me on the concept. I also like that it's canned instead of bottled because that's infinitely more recyclable than plastic bottles.
Coming from the music industry (and more specifically punk/alternative) Liquid Death fills a niche that we have been needing for years. A cheap single use water that is more environmentally friendly than plastic bottles is PEEFECT for venues and concert experiences.
I wonder if it's targeted at those people who think drinking water is "gross" somehow. Maybe it'll placebo them into hydrating themselves with something other than coconuts.
Water is gross. There are waters that taste gross and waters that taste less gross. They are only good when you eat something really sweet, spicy and when I need to hydrate like after exercising
I still remember my friend giving me a can of liquid death as I was leaving her house and being like “wtf is this? If I’m driving home with this shit I’m gonna get pulled over!” - then I drank it on the way home (because I was thirsty) and it tasted like literal metal. I can’t with this brand. Risked getting pulled over cause a cop might think I’m drinking a beer but in reality I’m drinking metallic overpriced H2O 💧

Honestly I tried it a few years ago and it was some pretty crisp water. I found the juxtaposition of the packaging fun and the water good. I did not think it needed to be anything more than that.

This lead me down a rabbit hole of looking up the pros and cons of various single use bottle options against each other. What I found out is that it's hard to say really. Aluminum has an exorbitant cost to the planet to be made, and since most cans don't use 100% recycled aluminum it may not be a much better option than something like glass. And I could not find anywhere on the website what % of there cans are recycled materials, so I boubt they are 100% because I assume they would brag about something like that. Of course the best thing for the planet is to not use single use containers at all, or limit the use of them as much as possible. But clearly the demand is around for single use bottles. This was a very long comment to say not such of anything. Sorry.
Some jobs, and events (especially with covid stuff) really only have the opportunity for single serve. Did any of the research talk about how long the aluminum lasts in the environment?
@@FinickyFiddle Of course. And while we are on the subject I also want to add that disabled people should not bear thr brunt of the responsibility to eliminate waste. They deserve to exist, and if that means some disabled people need to use plastic straws, they should not feel guilty about that. The end of my comment probably should have been phrased more like 'the most eco friendly thing is to produce and consume less when possible.' Or something like that. Also the place I looked did not talk about the decomposition rate of glass or aluminum. (The article did not include plastic at all, it's why I didn't include plastic in my comment)
@@StoneSaysHello a majority of aluminum is recycled, also this statistic could be misleading so take it with a grain of salt but supposedly 75% of all aluminum ever produced is still in use today. As a metal it can be easily melted down and reused. Plastics and other polymers are made up of huge molecules that take forever to decompose and can't be easily reused
should also be stated that the demand for single use bottles for water is in part spurred by water bottle companies. In many places of Europe water bottles are almost a nonexistent commodity since they have actually good infrastructure for public water, such as the fountains you commonly see in Switzerland
I went to a Big Time Rush concert pence, my dad bought this for me. My mom flipped out and explained how I was a minor and couldn’t drink alcohol, meanwhile my dad is trying to explain that it’s just WATER and my sister and I are simply jamming out to Elevate and waving obnoxiously hoping Carlos or James will notice us. 😂
One time my Martial Arts gave me his Liquid Death as a prize for being the best at the form and conveniently I collected cans for a while and I added that to my collection….it’s still one of my favorite cans
Listen man I love trying weird bottled water, with their cool bottles and packaging and slightly different tastes. I use reusable bottles at home but treating myself to a fancy water while I'm out occasionally just hits different lol
I remember they came out with canned water back in the 90s and I loved it. Its still to this day the best water I've ever had. Try the tap water in Las Vegas then tell me there's not a massive difference in the taste of water from source to source.
He’s right. People are going crazy over overpriced canned water. Joke is it’s not even in a “can” there’s plastic lining inside, so it’s no different than drinking out of a water bottle. Your just paying more.
I tought the point was to disguise a water bottle to look like a can of beer so akward teenagers wouldn’t judge someone for not wanting to use alcohol in a party situation. Been there myself. Having to explaing why I didn’t want to drink alcohol just because everybody did and I didn’t vibe with it at first
I’ve used it for this reason too. I was DD and didn’t want to deal with the constant questions about why I wasn’t drinking and it looks like a can of Modelo
I get everyone's argument. I guess the issue for me lies in the fact that people even have to come up with elaborate ways to justify their absolutely legitimate wish to not drink, for whatever reason, in whatever situation. I get the cans are cool and the branding is smart and the move is obviously much easier than to say "hey, let's find a way to make alcohol look dumb", but still, I wish there was a way for people to feel at ease with their glass of water without having to somehow upgrade it by flirting with the drinker aesthetic/culture. "eh, at least they'll leave me alone now" sure, but at the end of the day you are still trying to pass off as a drinker, you are implicitly playing by their rules of what constitues fun in a social context. Just saying.
This comment reminds me of lgbt+ contexts. “I can lie and say I’m straight/cis but I wish it was socially acceptable to say what I am but I can’t so I won’t”
from what I’ve read from other peoples comments is that it also helps with people keeping sober or relaxing them from like their social drinking habits and i think that that’s pretty fair. plus drinking a fancy water at an event doesn’t sound like having to go by society’s standards in any way, it just acts as like a gimmick product
They probably just get it for the design and label. Like the art on iced tea cans. If you have the money you have the luxury to spend it on stupid shit.
@Skate or Diet you should drink more water than that. Gotta stay hydrated when you drink. Doesn't have to be fancy just a glass of tap water is fine. Preferably filtered though. Flavored is nice too.
The packaging in this is cool but the best tasting water I’ve ever had - no fancy packaging or labels or anything - no joke, is Essentia. It tastes different, not sure if it’s because of the 9.5pH, but it actually tastes much better than any water I’ve tried.
Liquid death just tastes like regular water. Instead of buying it, buy a reusable water bottle. You can buy an Iron Flask from Amazon for I think $25 and it’s basically a hydro flask but they come in cooler colors. You’re welcome.
Dude, this is offered at restaurants & bars. You offered no valuable info for when it's literally the only option for sparkling or flat water. Which it was when I went to a local dine-in theater. I tried the sparkling. It was good, but I like the taste of tv static.
@@rainmirron I get that it may be the only option sometimes. I went to a concert recently and had to buy $15 worth of it to stay hydrated lol! It’s just good to use reusable options when available!
My math teacher was drinking this a few weeks ago and everyone in my class thought it was beer, but actually he just drinks it because cans are more recycleable than bottles.
ah, liquid ass, the tool of so many hilarious fast food ventures watching people's faces as they come of the shit stink restroom. makes a great revenge device for your enemy's car too ;)
Not to be the person you already warned everyone of in the video but as someone who can differentiate water brands, I HAVE actually had a new brand of water before and gone “wow, that’s some really good water”. Never had liquid death though
I’m the same way. I haven’t tried liquid death’s sparkling water besides mango, but their regular water tastes surprisingly pure and refreshing somehow
So literally last night I ordered a water at a bar and he started pouring this into a cup, I shyly asked if he heard me right about ordering the water and he just nodded and handed this drink to me. So confusing, great timing with this vid Scott 🤗
I can kinda understand the whole idea of packaged water tasting “good” or “better” than other brands, like a fresh bottle of Fiji tastes different from a fresh bottle of Evian, which tastes different from tap water and so on which can make people have preferences over what kind of water they drink, but overall it’s still enough to make your brain say “that’s water” to all of them when you taste it.
Jokes on us, this guy has knowledge that souls are valuable in the afterlife, and he's making himself into the Jeff Besos of hell. And we are just signing away our eternal souls. Genius.

Liquid Death tasted like *nothing*, which in itself means it tasted damn good and it was something to remind me of home.
I think it’s hilarious that this video lines up so well with their marketing that I want to go buy liquid death now.
Why though he literally said it was just water.
@@person8546 because it’s literally just water
This proves what I've been saying since....well, a long time : you can sell ANYTHING if you market it the right way. Pet rock, can o' water, whatever.
I remember the commercials for this last year and at first I thought it was a joke. Then I learned it wasn’t. That was definitely an “Oh, wait, you’re serious. Let me laugh even harder” situation.
Thank god someone is talking about this. I keep thinking this is beer when I see it in stores. I have heard that metal cans are better for the environment than plastic bottles, so I kind of want to buy it now.
Thats the point. Driving people off booze
you'd be better off getting a reusable bottle and water purifier instead of that nonsense lol
@@psyopskunk true. also never hear people talking about the plastic on the inside of aluminum cans (the reason why the water doesn't taste like aluminum) that isn't recyclable, where waterbottles are.
@@Denni55 For me I just find it sad that people are too lazy sometimes to *fill up a bottle* that takes maybe 30 seconds yet they'll go and take the time to search for a case of water and grab one every time they need some water. I've owned this baby for 3 YEARS now. Can't even imagine how much that would have been in water bottles since I drink maybe 5-6 glasses worth of straight water a day...
@@Pendji if you gotta buy some stupid looking can of water to “pretend” it’s beer then you have serious fucking problems
"TV static in a can" is the BEST description I have ever heard for sparkling water. Scott you're a genius

I was at a music festival and they had a whole pop up “country club” and you could join it by signing away your soul and they gave you a metal membership card. Like ???
The country club itself was just a lil liquid death “bar” where they gave away cans for free and you could buy too. Had a fountain and people playing violins and all. Felt like a fever cream 💀💀
a fever what now
Hey uh, I think you made a typo.
Unless you have fever creams no judgement here.
Scott trashing himself for doing a Raid Shadow Legends ad is hilarious.
I was at an event just two weeks ago and they had Liquid Death on sale at the bar. I had heard of it, but didn't know what it was. I thought it was a beer or an energy drink. I asked for one and they charged me $5, I cracked it, and took a swig of.... (like you said) regular ass water... I was confused what I just paid $5 for.
FIVE DOLLARS
That event ripped you off lmao
THIS IS PROOF THAT IT WORKS.
It’s nice to trick itself into drinking water, but that was kinda scummy of them to charge so much
@@MooseShower bars charge waaaay more money for everything. i hate going to bars because i could spend two or three drinks worth on an entire bottle of liquor and have a bunch of friends over to play games or something. bars are a total waste of money.
I love the canned water idea. No plastic, East to recycle, and best of, you can make it funny as heck.
Except it is BARELY easier to recycle, and is also; still one use.
@@rakuranhawke8600 Isn't aluminum recycled at a much higher rate than PET??
@@vivyvan There are issues around aluminium mining for the cans, as well as the more single use nature of canned beverages.
You can reuse plastic bottles, I do plenty of times.
But apparently it comes down to what happens to recycling after it is used.
What portion of recycled materials ends up in South-East Asia (which would equally still apply with plastics), but also what other impacts do cans have over plastics too.
I am no statistician in this regard, and my research comes mainly from the statements of others; but apparently it is still rather a minute difference.
I certainly don't want a bird to choke a plastic bottle from the trash islands, but would the same apply for cans if it was a whole substitute?
As someone who drinks Austrian spring water every day, because they’re literally from Austria, buying Liquid Death is literally the same as just drinking tap water for me.

Yea the mineral contents of the water have a big impact on it’s taste.
I saw these in the water aisle and just assumed it was sparkling water except really fizzy. I didn’t think it was plain water, lol.

"It just tastes like liquid TV static in a can" is a very accurate description of sparkling water.
The other day I tried water from the faucet and let me tell you it tasted very much like water. In fact it was more water than water. Then I decided to go bold and try water from the garden hose and to my surprise it tasted like water. In conclusion water that I've tried tasted like water.

I finally tried this stuff. The still water is, as expected, just typical every day bottled water but in a can. I also tried the sparkling and it's actually really good. As good as perrier imo

I was so disappointed.
I hate that they wasted such an amazing product name!
Right?! Such a good name.
I actually like it. The bubbly is ok but the fact the packaging is fully recyclable is dope. It’s a good time.

Not gonna lie, they're hydrating people with recyclable containers. Kinda smooth
Yeah pretty much. Also probably no plasticy taste
@@yammytho no plastic taste but you get a metallic taste which is stronger and makes it taste like you drank out of the sink
@@AndrewB23 Honestly it taste pretty good. It is more refreshing tasting aluminum haha
@@AndrewB23 if you're getting a metallic taste from a can, there's an issue with the can
I like the aesthetic, it does taste rly good as far as water goes, and it’s just a fun sensory experience to drink water out of a cold can. I did enjoy this video tho haha
the consumption experience literally does affect how something tastes to your brain. a lot of people associate canned drinks with yummy flavor, so it makes sense that people would like water out of a can more than water out of a bottle. I mean ~ i definitely like canned soda over bottled soda.
Also I’d like to mention that drinks get flat faster in bottles, especially the big ones.
God I love how Scott uploads right as I get home dope way to start my weekend
Atleast cans get recycled. I worked at Poland Springs for years and realized all companies greenwash customers by saying "100% recyclable" giving the impression that they're eco-friendly but are blatantly misleading and don't make any effort at all to recycling.
I was just talking about this to my s/o the other day when I saw their merch!! I was like brooooo this is why marketing and branding is so important. The graphic designers deserve a raise.
This is more of a case that the graphic designer, singular by the way, doesn't deserve a raise but the people who actually bought beer priced water deserve to be shamed lol.
In middle school I was diagnosed with a heart condition that's prevented me from ever drinking energy drinks, but by high school all my friends were pounding down at least one Monster or similar drink a day. I can see myself drinking liquid death back then to feel more "part" of things? It could be targeted for those in certain communities where energy drinks are prevelant but the buyer wants to be more health-conscious. 🤷♀️
That too. Their main demographic is "peaople who can't or don't want to have alcohol, but want something that looks like it so they don't feel left out or get made fun of" and honestly what are energy drinks if not alcohol children can have? (not literally but yknow what I mean) - the weird trend might have gone a bit far but the company kows what they're trying to do, and the thing they're trying to do is unambiguously good.
I mean if it makes more kids and teens drink water….
I'm loving that for the fundraiser everyone else has these paragraph sequel things then Scott's is just, "Get that plastic out of the dang ocean" Loving that
I work at an amazon warehouse and pack a SURPRISING amount of Liquid Death 12 packs per day, sometimes even people getting multiple boxes per order. I always wondered wtf they where lol
Thank you for packing our water. Appreciate your hard work bro. 🙏
OK, but there **is** bad water. Dasani comes to mind
I feel like the problem of not being able to refill the can is easily solved by just having a reusable water bottle 🤔
Never sign a contract that gives someone your soul. I don't care if it's a joke, I ain't takin’ any chances. when the ceo of liquid death rolls up to your house and tries to jazz hand your soul out of your body, You won't be laughing.

Funny story,
I was driving with a couple empty cans of Liquid Death in my backseat & one in my cup holder I was drinking. I got pulled over an the officer thought I was drinking an driving. I was explaining to him that it was water and he really didn’t believe me, I handed him the can he read it an and smelled it an said “I’ll be damned, I seen you drinking it at the light an thought you were crazy drinking an driving, but now I feel like the crazy one” he literally laughed for a whole 20 minutes and took pictures of the cans 🤣😂the cans really look like beer cans.
omg thats really funny lmao
Calling sparkling water tv static in a can is the most accurate thing ive ever heard.
Okay, as soon I saw the contract I was like "huh, what would LeagleEagle think about this?" And then Scott brought him up 🤣
I haven't seen a bunch of marketing for this, but I saw a TH-camr describe it as water for sober people at parties so they could have a cool drink and not feel lesser drinking bottled water at the party and that kind of sold me on the concept. I also like that it's canned instead of bottled because that's infinitely more recyclable than plastic bottles.
The flavored ones are pretty good its also just a good substitute to drink over a can of beer when out with friends

The microplastics: 👁️ 👁️
Coming from the music industry (and more specifically punk/alternative) Liquid Death fills a niche that we have been needing for years. A cheap single use water that is more environmentally friendly than plastic bottles is PEEFECT for venues and concert experiences.
I wonder if it's targeted at those people who think drinking water is "gross" somehow. Maybe it'll placebo them into hydrating themselves with something other than coconuts.
Water is gross. There are waters that taste gross and waters that taste less gross. They are only good when you eat something really sweet, spicy and when I need to hydrate like after exercising
That’s my aunt, although she doesn’t say it’s gross, she’s just insanely addicted to sugar. 💀
Thsts weird, i mean I dont like the taste of water but like the issue is it tastes like nothing? Is taste of nothing gross to some people?
Water can be gross. I hate the taste of Aquafina for example lmao
Nah it’s targeted at sober people who want to fit in at social gatherings where everyone else is drinking. Same idea as mocktails and near beers
I still remember my friend giving me a can of liquid death as I was leaving her house and being like “wtf is this? If I’m driving home with this shit I’m gonna get pulled over!” - then I drank it on the way home (because I was thirsty) and it tasted like literal metal.
I can’t with this brand.
Risked getting pulled over cause a cop might think I’m drinking a beer but in reality I’m drinking metallic overpriced H2O 💧
I have an undeniable crush on Scott lol. It’s the personality and sense of humor for me. The good looks help too.

This lead me down a rabbit hole of looking up the pros and cons of various single use bottle options against each other. What I found out is that it's hard to say really.
Aluminum has an exorbitant cost to the planet to be made, and since most cans don't use 100% recycled aluminum it may not be a much better option than something like glass. And I could not find anywhere on the website what % of there cans are recycled materials, so I boubt they are 100% because I assume they would brag about something like that.
Of course the best thing for the planet is to not use single use containers at all, or limit the use of them as much as possible. But clearly the demand is around for single use bottles.
This was a very long comment to say not such of anything. Sorry.
Some jobs, and events (especially with covid stuff) really only have the opportunity for single serve.
Did any of the research talk about how long the aluminum lasts in the environment?
@@FinickyFiddle Of course. And while we are on the subject I also want to add that disabled people should not bear thr brunt of the responsibility to eliminate waste. They deserve to exist, and if that means some disabled people need to use plastic straws, they should not feel guilty about that.
The end of my comment probably should have been phrased more like 'the most eco friendly thing is to produce and consume less when possible.' Or something like that.
Also the place I looked did not talk about the decomposition rate of glass or aluminum. (The article did not include plastic at all, it's why I didn't include plastic in my comment)
This is my kind of comment. Interesting info and good food for thought.
@@StoneSaysHello a majority of aluminum is recycled, also this statistic could be misleading so take it with a grain of salt but supposedly 75% of all aluminum ever produced is still in use today. As a metal it can be easily melted down and reused. Plastics and other polymers are made up of huge molecules that take forever to decompose and can't be easily reused
should also be stated that the demand for single use bottles for water is in part spurred by water bottle companies. In many places of Europe water bottles are almost a nonexistent commodity since they have actually good infrastructure for public water, such as the fountains you commonly see in Switzerland
I went to a Big Time Rush concert pence, my dad bought this for me.

One time my Martial Arts gave me his Liquid Death as a prize for being the best at the form and conveniently I collected cans for a while and I added that to my collection….it’s still one of my favorite cans
Listen man I love trying weird bottled water, with their cool bottles and packaging and slightly different tastes. I use reusable bottles at home but treating myself to a fancy water while I'm out occasionally just hits different lol
The amount of subtle jabs at TMG during this damnnn
Haha i was looking for this comment
I remember they came out with canned water back in the 90s and I loved it. Its still to this day the best water I've ever had. Try the tap water in Las Vegas then tell me there's not a massive difference in the taste of water from source to source.
He’s right. People are going crazy over overpriced canned water. Joke is it’s not even in a “can” there’s plastic lining inside, so it’s no different than drinking out of a water bottle. Your just paying more.
I tought the point was to disguise a water bottle to look like a can of beer so akward teenagers wouldn’t judge someone for not wanting to use alcohol in a party situation. Been there myself. Having to explaing why I didn’t want to drink alcohol just because everybody did and I didn’t vibe with it at first
I’ve used it for this reason too. I was DD and didn’t want to deal with the constant questions about why I wasn’t drinking and it looks like a can of Modelo
I get everyone's argument. I guess the issue for me lies in the fact that people even have to come up with elaborate ways to justify their absolutely legitimate wish to not drink, for whatever reason, in whatever situation. I get the cans are cool and the branding is smart and the move is obviously much easier than to say "hey, let's find a way to make alcohol look dumb", but still, I wish there was a way for people to feel at ease with their glass of water without having to somehow upgrade it by flirting with the drinker aesthetic/culture.
"eh, at least they'll leave me alone now" sure, but at the end of the day you are still trying to pass off as a drinker, you are implicitly playing by their rules of what constitues fun in a social context. Just saying.
This comment reminds me of lgbt+ contexts. “I can lie and say I’m straight/cis but I wish it was socially acceptable to say what I am but I can’t so I won’t”
Imagine needing to do what everyone is doing. Why not just take small shots of water with a lil lemon? Bro, it's a shot i just made
from what I’ve read from other peoples comments is that it also helps with people keeping sober or relaxing them from like their social drinking habits and i think that that’s pretty fair. plus drinking a fancy water at an event doesn’t sound like having to go by society’s standards in any way, it just acts as like a gimmick product
They probably just get it for the design and label. Like the art on iced tea cans. If you have the money you have the luxury to spend it on stupid shit.
@Skate or Diet you should drink more water than that. Gotta stay hydrated when you drink. Doesn't have to be fancy just a glass of tap water is fine. Preferably filtered though. Flavored is nice too.
The packaging in this is cool but the best tasting water I’ve ever had - no fancy packaging or labels or anything - no joke, is Essentia. It tastes different, not sure if it’s because of the 9.5pH, but it actually tastes much better than any water I’ve tried.
I think I’ve seen this in a Cody Ko video and I was so confused the entire time. Scotty is there to help as always 🙌🏻♥️
Liquid death just tastes like regular water. Instead of buying it, buy a reusable water bottle. You can buy an Iron Flask from Amazon for I think $25 and it’s basically a hydro flask but they come in cooler colors. You’re welcome.
Exactly: buy a filter, buy a nice think hydroflask
I assumed people would mostly buy it for the carbonated water.
Dude, this is offered at restaurants & bars. You offered no valuable info for when it's literally the only option for sparkling or flat water. Which it was when I went to a local dine-in theater. I tried the sparkling. It was good, but I like the taste of tv static.
@@rainmirron I get that it may be the only option sometimes. I went to a concert recently and had to buy $15 worth of it to stay hydrated lol! It’s just good to use reusable options when available!
My math teacher was drinking this a few weeks ago and everyone in my class thought it was beer, but actually he just drinks it because cans are more recycleable than bottles.
So I thought you were talking about Liquid Ass, and when you said people were SHOTGUNNING THEM…. Well you could imagine my surprise
ah, liquid ass, the tool of so many hilarious fast food ventures watching people's faces as they come of the shit stink restroom. makes a great revenge device for your enemy's car too ;)
this is both dumb and gross enough that I really think that could be the next TikTok trend
The reaction to Liquid Death would make more sense to me if it was the first canned water, but I've seen other canned water brands before.
Not to be the person you already warned everyone of in the video but as someone who can differentiate water brands, I HAVE actually had a new brand of water before and gone “wow, that’s some really good water”. Never had liquid death though
I’m the same way. I haven’t tried liquid death’s sparkling water besides mango, but their regular water tastes surprisingly pure and refreshing somehow
So literally last night I ordered a water at a bar and he started pouring this into a cup, I shyly asked if he heard me right about ordering the water and he just nodded and handed this drink to me. So confusing, great timing with this vid Scott 🤗
Love the "Blue ska-doo we can too!" With all the shot guns of this product 🤣
I can kinda understand the whole idea of packaged water tasting “good” or “better” than other brands, like a fresh bottle of Fiji tastes different from a fresh bottle of Evian, which tastes different from tap water and so on which can make people have preferences over what kind of water they drink, but overall it’s still enough to make your brain say “that’s water” to all of them when you taste it.
I literally thought this was a beer until like a half hour ago when I heard an ad for it on a podcast and was absolutely shocked.
Jokes on us, this guy has knowledge that souls are valuable in the afterlife, and he's making himself into the Jeff Besos of hell. And we are just signing away our eternal souls.

It's just water, but it's cool water. The marketing team is brilliant
I think if you’re living sober and hanging with friends this would be useful to still feel social/involved without actually drinking alcohol
I used to work with a guy who would drink a 12pack of Lacroix in 8 hours at work every day to substitute his drinking. He'd still go drink like 8 beers and 8 shots after work though
They should do like a left twix right twix thing. Like “liquid death and liquid life…which side are you on? *cues loud rock music*”
Liquid Life could be a non-bubbly version! for those of us who want canned water but not sparkling water
Aluminium is so bad for the environment. The amount of energy it takes to produce it and recycle it is criminal.
