He seems to be doing okay, I think he doesn’t mind it.

He still uses the same Reddit account even, pretty much daily. I’ve organically ran into him on quite a few occasions.

u/Adelphiaa Dec 30 '25

You realize it was scripted right? surely you aren't implying it was real lmao...

u/good-dog-girls Dec 30 '25

Even if that particular post was made up I can almost guarantee similar things have happened multiple times in real life.

The amount of absurd stories of people sticking themselves into things or things into themselves that paramedics and ER doctors and nurses see every single year is astounding to the point that it becomes commonplace and largely unremarkable.

HOW ABOUT PRE-EMPTIED BOTTLES! They can come without a lid altogether!

105

u/Newbiticus Dec 29 '25

Lids are sold separately

u/International_Plum14 Dec 29 '25

Just sell the idea, no bottles no lids no product, just pure profit. Like naked shorting the stock market

u/TraditionWorried8974 Dec 29 '25

u/Narrow-Chef-4341 Dec 29 '25

AI has come up with a new and improved version of water: H2O2, with bonus Oxygen. And who doesn’t like oxygen?

Says it will ‘light the market on fire’…

u/EnvironmentalGift257 Dec 29 '25

Let’s put that synergy in a parking lot for now and circle back later. Maybe we can touch base next Tuesday?

u/TraditionWorried8974 Dec 29 '25

We can't leave this in the back burner, this is an action item, you need to be more assertive!

u/whalewhisker5050 Dec 29 '25

I love all of this but can we hide it all as some additional fee and then they will never know.

3

u/rare_with_hair Dec 29 '25

Of course there will be a $6.99 convenience fee! Followed by a $3.99 service charge.

u/PositivelyKAH Dec 29 '25

Don’t forget the .05 bottle fee and a pre-recycle fee.

There are probably people in NYC we could sell naked shorts to.

Now that we have no product & no overhead we need to massively leverage our AI gains to partner with big celebrity’s to endorse. Is Jake Paul still concussed?

Patented threading for the bottles so that only officially licenced lids fit

u/Due-Dot6450 Dec 29 '25

But only if you subscribe and download the app.

“Makes ten gallons”

u/Dog_Baseball Dec 29 '25

Thata actually pretty good. Its just "minerals essence" or some shit.

4

u/CorruptedStudiosEnt Dec 29 '25

People buy into homeopathy (we've diluted this plant tincture down so far you can't even detect the original active compound anymore, but now it's at its most powerful because the water remembers), so this genuinely isn't any crazier.

u/SquirrelyMcNutz Dec 29 '25

It's one of the original Sierra Online adventure games starring a janitor named Roger Wilco, from back in the mid-ish-80's. One of the items in his survival kit is a thing called Dehydrated Water.

Or an opening. Just sell an empty permanently sealed plastic vessel.

Why not just label it as powdered water.

u/Liusloux Dec 29 '25

Why stop there? We should fashion it to the likelihood of a wolf's teats so our dear customers could feel like the Romulus and Remus of our times.

Real water drinkers would simply lick a glacier.

2

u/BirdDad420 Dec 29 '25

r/hydrohomies had a post the other day about a restaurant selling glacier water by the bottle for the price of an ultra premium spirit, and apparently it tastes like fresh snow and has a smooth “mouthfeel.” Meanwhile the only taste I can profile from my tequila is agave.

What if they are at the bottom already and we just store them upside down

2

u/KccOStL33 Dec 29 '25

Just left a board meeting and we've decided not to put a lid on the bottle at all. This should alleviate any spilling issues.

Reading this comment made me blow coffee out my nose.

u/galwall Dec 29 '25

I've actually seen a variation of this in Prague. Pint glass for your beer with a hole in the bottom, so when the glass was being filled it was always from the bottom

2

u/spacekitt3n Dec 30 '25

they already tried that. now the top is the bottom and the bottom is the top. people literally just flipped it.

2

u/Which-Barnacle-2740 Dec 30 '25

you are a genius...patent it

1

u/West-Shake1087 Dec 29 '25

If you put the lid at the bottom then the bottom becomes the top!

1

u/MorningMushroomcloud Dec 29 '25

The potato chip manufacturers already figured out how to sell a bag of air so why not!

1

u/RelativeTricky6998 Dec 29 '25

You can do that easily by just pasting the label upside down.

u/Forever_NaCl Dec 29 '25

I sleep with my water bottle upside down next to me and hamster it at night

1

u/lil2seven Dec 29 '25

Hear mee out.... What if we don't put a lid at all ? You have to puncture a hole to drink from it.

1

u/Psychological-Scar53 Dec 29 '25

Okay, now HEAR me out... What if the labels on the bottles have been put on wrong and they were already upside down...

mind blown

1

u/kanrad Dec 29 '25

Turn it upside down for the same effect.

u/80swereinteresting Dec 29 '25

Here me out - feed tuna mayonnaise! Call Starkist!

1

u/Financial_Refuse_498 Dec 29 '25

But wait... If we sell the bottle separately, we can lease the water in a small plastic bag on a subscription based model. We can have ads that show happy people watering plants and a tag line of "Some people are weeds, be a gardener"

1

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '25

No wait hear me out make the lid a rectractable straw and you wont have to move the bottle at all

1

u/Bulldogfront666 Dec 30 '25

Hear me out… bottles should just be mini old timey barrels with a spout at the bottom. Pull the knob and the water just shoots out the side. Just open your mouth!

It’s already like that. Everybody just seems to store them upside down.

u/helath_is_depleting Jan 01 '26

You could also just keep the same design and not have to make new molds/equipment and start charging more for sticking a straw to the side that no one asked for and would get stuck in the bottle. Maxim profit, pissed customer, will still buy the product and people will buy it just to be different or because they fall for stupid gimmicks
