This is one of the most insipidly stupid things I have ever seen on product hunt or, indeed, anywhere at all. So does anyone want to suggest how there’s anything ethically defensible about siphoning off a critical resource like alpine water in Austria during a period of accelerated climate change to realize profit that depends on sealing it into metal cans for delivery via transatlantic shipping for sale to the wealthy as a fetish resource for individual consumption? Because the “product” seems beyond deplorable as its an utterly unnecessary nor does it contribute to any public or common good, though certainly does needlessly increase and intensify an atmospheric carbon load while undermining the political imperative of governments to supply safe and healthy drinking water to all. This is not a product to be proud of. It is an unsubstantial scam to make one’s core business an activity that damages and corrodes by burdening the planet exactly where it needs balms and which disproportionately increases the risks and harms dumped upon the most vulnerable as intrinsic to profits. The most appropriate response by any honest review would be to affirm that it is a shameful idea.

@harreld sad but true. From a marketing perspective it's well executed, but then again I feel like...what are they trying to sell? And most importantly...why?

@harreld It'd be great if we could hear from the make @mike_cessario on this point? If are really making a point of saying that you chose cans over bottles for sustainability, you also need to reckon with the problem of transporting water around the world and thereby increasing the carbon load in the atmosphere... Not only that, but Aluminum mining and recycling is incredibly energy intensive. In the US, its mostly powered by coal.

@harreld This is the most upvoted comment, and it is hidden on the bottom. Seeing this has really made me lose a lot of faith in product hunt

Product Hunt

The branding reminds me of Brutal Legend, a game starring Jack Black (certainly Tenacious D inspired) from 2009. 😆 The name is certainly eye-catching. How'd you decide on this direction, @cessario?

@cessario @rrhoover In my past life as an ad agency creative director, I was always perplexed by the strict rules that brands and CPG products create for themselves. Why is it completely ok for a horror movie product to have blood and gore and profanity and make $250 million? Or why can a rapper like Eminem make some of the all-time highest grossing music products filled with controversial awesomeness? But then CPG products, like beverages, all have to play by 1950's rules and be safe, boring, corporate, functional, rational, and appeal to absolutely everyone? All we wanted to do with Liquid Death was to make a CPG product that gets to play by entertainment product rules. Why not? There's a reason why people have such a deep passion and love for entertainment products, probably more so than almost anything else. And more specifically, we wanted to make a healthy product that is provocative and hilarious in a world where only unhealthy brands like energy drinks, soda, beer, candy, and fast food get to have all the fun.

@mike_cessario I love it! It is sad that there is no room for satire and play in this heavily public world. Curious to hear what came of this...

Did I miss something here? No one is going to mention that this is an *awful* idea sustainability-wise? Yes, aluminum might be easier to recycle than plastic, but it still takes gobs of energy to produce and recycle, and only a fraction of it actually gets recycled. Not to mention the energy (and carbon) costs of canning and shipping to the consumer. The planet needs people to use reusable water bottles and well-filtered tap water, not super-expensive water in cans (or plastic).

First off, this looks and sounds like an energy drink, so you're already asking a lot of the potential customer to see past that and actually understand the product. Personally I'd go for an Energy Water type product that is cohesive with the branding. Fiji water tried this water importing thing. They were found to create about a pound of CO2 emissions per pint sold in the US, with more than half coming from the shipping and distribution process. How will your business model address this incredible amount of carbon produced to import water, as consumers become more environmentally conscious? Why not use US water with the same branding? Is Austrian water that much better of a sales point than actual sustainability? https://www.slideshare.net/TRIMI...

This is so stupid it isn't even funny. Bottled water is crap and if you care remotely about the environment you will stop buying bottled water all together from any brand. Liquid Death? Seriously this has to be one of the worst names for a brand that represents life. The joke fell flat and Im over here stepping on it.

What would make this product better? Zero packaging and not shipping it halfway across the world just to sell to elites? Clever marketing, poor un-eco product masquerading as eco friendly.
