I have had a sudden burst of inspiration, a mental breakdown where I thought I wasn’t good enough for my boyfriend (he reassured me I was), and all within today, it’s been wild

Has bottled water gotten better or worse within the last... 10 years? Sometimes the bottled water I get (Poland Spring) tastes flavored and other times it's just regular ol' two-times-hydrogen and oxygen. Brr!

It could be worse, they could increase the amount of oxygen to be two parts oxygen per two parts hydrogen.

I think there's still a bit of smoke in me from the last fire, so I might use the extra oxygen hehe

I would like to see if they could sell bottled water without plastic bottles. Imagine water sold in a bottle similar to glass Coke bottle.

We do it for Gatorade, energy drinks, and soda, I don't see why we can't do it for water unless it's overall cheaper...?

If I were to hazard a guess, it's probably because of the weight. Bottled water's often sold in big cases, like 40 at a time, and those're heavy as-is. So heavy that sometimes you have to drop them or they tear the plastic wrap around them and fall out of your grip, which would make glass bottles shatter.

Philippines. And even then, Gatorade is only available in glass bottles at the 240ml (8oz plus change) size to my knowledge, ditto energy drinks. We still have glass bottles for soda up to 1 liter, ditto beer.

Interesting echo of our Commonwealth era in the flag design. I also count 36 Stars—presumably 36 States, as opposed to the 50 of today.

36? Crap I meant to do the 48 star flag...

But yeah, I took the old Seal of the Commonwealth and plastered it on a Blue Ensign with an American flag canton.

It could be worse, they could increase the amount of oxygen to be two parts oxygen per two parts hydrogen.

Let's put it in bottles with fancy looking labels and market it as HyPer: the refreshing new taste that will clean you up real good!

Good point. We're going to need a catchy acid house song from the late eighties to accompany the launch of the beverage to beat all other beverages.
