The Seattle Mariners have a similar value menu. Also their local vendors charge the same as they would at their own brick and mortar places.
That’s still more than I would pay.
Dasani is the worst tasting bottled water
It’s just tap water isn’t it? It got recalled here and never came back.
Must be UK? I’ve seen the Tom Scott video on this lol. Unfortunately it’s still one of the big brands over here.
No, tap water is palatable. Dasani is runoff from an over-exerted kiddie pool filter.
Straight from the tap
No, they add sodium.
Do they really? That’s actually really good for some of us with certain medical conditions. I have to add sodium and other electrolytes on my own.
then why does it taste sweet?
Microplastics.
Depends on where it was bottled
I’m so happy to see so many comments shitting on Dasani. I’ve sworn at random times to friends and family that Dasani tastes like garbage. Like wet dog runoff or water that was stewed with pennies. But nobody ever agrees. It actually tastes closer to my sulfur-y well water than any other normal bottled water.
My girlfriend’s house has sulfur-laden well water. I find it absolutely revolting, taking a shower feels like I’m in a pot of hard boiled eggs, but she swears she’s used to it.
I think it’s subconsciously the reason she’s always dehydrated.
Oh god, I don’t know if I could do that. Our showers are softened and… something else that removes the smell. And we have an under-sink 5-stage filter for drinking or cooking with because if you use the well water for, say, stew or pasta, it just tastes “off”
You know how people say LaCroix tastes like carbonated water that sat open next to a bunch of fruit?
Dasani has that sort of deal going on but with a sewage plant.
Dasani has water in it.
I disagree. I think arrowhead is.
I suspect it’ll be the one mandated to be sold alongside the other Coca-Cola owned sodas.
The best(?) water I’ve ever had that wasn’t from a tap is the mega cheap Kirkland Signature stuff from Costco. It’s still largely the same taste as the tap water, though I am fortunate enough to live in an area with decent tap water.
Having good tap water is truly a blessing. I’ve never felt the need to have bottled at home
Calling a diabetes overload “family friendly” is the most cynical of all this.
Prohibitive pricing might at least have saved a few people.
Word is that the nachos are stale, and come with pickles and cold cheese.
I’d much rather go to San Antonio, get some churros
A hotdog at a stadium is now cheaper than a burger at McDonalds.
Dasani water is just nasty though. How is it possible to make water taste so bad
Hey Dasani bottles from only the finest hydrants
The rust is just extra flavour!
The sweetness you taste is actual sweetener, not lead!
9 dollars for a fucking hot dog?! 7 bucks for a bag of chips?!
Soda isn’t cheaper than water anymore? I’m sorry, I thought this was AMERICA!
/me mumbles something about the law in Germany that water has to be cheaper than beer on the menu.
Tap water is supposed to be free in most places in the USA.
correction: the cheapest drink has to be non-alcoholic
Water? Like from the toilet?!? But Brawndo’s got electrolytes
How is selling garbage for cheap supposed to be uplifting?
That’s not cheap.
People can try and be the helpers at any point. Life can be like that. You don’t have to accept it. But it don’t hurt to try.
“in the spirit of the holidays we will crushing 75% fewer orphans until January 1st!”
But where will I get my orphan paste you monster
Synthetic orphan paste is just as good and you know it!
But that chemical aftertaste, eww.
That is the taste of freedom, of science, of progress!
Pshh, that’s horsecock
You do know they use crushed orphan puppy’s for synthetic paste, yeah?
All things considered, using synthetic orphan paste has a bigger carbon footprint, due to all the CO2 those orphans will create in the future
Sports and entertainment are down across the board. They can’t sell tickets because people can’t afford a night out, so this is their attempt to drive sales. They aren’t throwing families a bone, they are trying not to have to draft players with a much smaller budget next year. You can’t sell any concessions if people won’t buy tickets.
Man, that is not my experience here in Seattle. Ticket prices are up up up and they sell. I’m referring mostly to concert and stand up shows, but I hear from the sports people that it’s even worse for them. Prices are up, tickets sell.
I’m several states to the east and I’d have to agree. Ticket prices for everything have skyrocketed, especially concert tickets. Bands I’ve seen before who are arguably less relevant now are charging 4x as much. It’s completely fucked.
In the college football world the secondary market for tickets has seemed softer this year than last year. A lot of it is the change to the playoff format making it so that people have more events to split their budget across, but a lot of people lost money selling tickets under the face value for the conference games when their teams didn’t make it. And just this weekend, it seemed like tickets were pretty cheap for the first round of the playoffs.
Those prices might be up from 5 years ago, but my impression is that prices are down from last year.
That and they’ll probably understock some food items. When they run out they’ll be like “sorry sir, we’re out of hotdogs, but we do have Dasani sewage plant water!”.
Upliftingnews is close to the most corporate boot-licking forum on the internet
Post: “Company allow employees 2 extra days of PTO to deal with cancer treatment”
Actual report: company was obligated to add PTO days under federal law.
Commenters: omg yaas queen I love Company they treat their employees right love them 🤤🤤🤤🤤🍆🍆
Sounds like a good source of content for whatever /r/OrphanCrushingMachine is here
Ishbia’s purchase of the Suns was approved in Feb. 2023. Since he’s relatively new as majority owner of the team, I’ll give him some benefit of the doubt and assume in this situation he is working to make things better with his position and either only recently became aware of the price issue or was only just now able to change it, rather than simply making the change now for optics. You can be cynical about those who set the prices before him.
Now Im not in the US so I dont know ticket prices but seats are seats, maintenance on the stadium is largely a fixed cost. Empty seats generate $0 in food and ticket revenue.
If you can reasonably predict that a family of 5 can go have a great time for $50 + tickets you are going to get families coming, making it a thing the family does regularly which also sells merch and jerseys and creates life long fans, which creates a franchise that pays off in the long term. Its good long term business thinking. Nobody is going to the Basketball because the Hotdogs are amazing, your selling the experience not the food.
