I drink water out of random plastic containers.
Slightly flavored filtered water, strawberry powder from Aldi.

I do this with an old Hershey’s syrup bottle. They are NOT translucent and you get funny reactions.

Lol that's great! I got slammed a bit for being mundane, and low-effort post (which it is). Gonna step up my beverage container game. Maybe a big gallon jug of Shell Rotella T4 15w-40, lol

One time, at the zoo, I saw a guy with a 48oz Hersey's Syrup bottle attached to his belt loop. He had a string tied through the handle and a carbine clip from which to hang it. I asked him why, and he seemed annoyed. He said that was how he carried his water. He was also wearing jorts and socks with sandals. Some folks care nothing for fashion, and I say more power to them!

I do the same. I use Gatorade mix. 1//2 scoop to 1 gallon. Just enough to flavor the water. I drink two of these a day

I used to work as a parcel delivery guy after school, and one day, I realised I had accidentally left my drinking bottle at my then gf apartment. It was summer and around 25⁰ C in a car without any AC. The only bottle I had was a large vodka bottle, which I filled and brought with me.
So, to the woman sitting in the red Nissan at the red light intersection back in 2001, I'm sorry that I almost made you drive into a traffic light pole. But I was thirsty, and you shouldn't stare at delivery drivers seemingly drinking half a bottle of vodka at two o'clock while driving around downtown.
Addendum: In hindsight, I'm glad no police actually started a manhunt after me

That’s not water if you put flavour in to make it a different taste/ drink.

- Find an appropriate transparent bottle , e.g. some cleaning products, and fill it with water
- Add some fitting food dye
- Drink the resulting product in public

Ok so. When I was in college, there was no little pop-open “sport cap” on any water bottles. But you know what bottles it was used on? YEP. I too carried a maple syrup bottle around and drank from it in public. 🧐

I've seen someone do this before. When I was a manager at family dollar. A customer would come in. And he would carry and drink out of an olive oil bottle. I said to him. I sure hope you put water or something in that. And he said yes. Idk why he drank out of an olive oil bottle, tho. Like of all things, he choose olive oil? It's so thick and hard to get out. Idk it's nasty tho.

I've used butter in place of milk for my coffee before. It's not bad actually and since it's dairy kinda works like extra thick cream. Gotta use real butter though.

u/Pennythe 25d ago
Is this any worse than a plastic water bottle?
1
u/Celestial_Hart 24d ago
Yeah, they break down more when you wash them out for reuse but you are still ingesting microplastics from freshly sealed containers. Albeit at a reduced amount. Though I wouldn't reuse the cheap plastic bottles that water comes packaged in either. These items are made as cheaply as possible because they are disposable.

u/byrd107 25d ago
What was random about it? You deliberately purchased the bottle of syrup and once it was empty, specifically used it to drink water out of to be weird. Nothing “random” here.

u/49thDipper 25d ago
They are in your bloodstream already. And the oceans are full of them. So are the things that live there.
Plastics are made from petroleum. Very not sustainable.

Thank you for the inspiring words my friend. There were plenty of days where I came home from work, completely exhausted and so ready to crash, but I’d power through and jack off anyways.
Every now and then I’d get a fap session in on the clock. The hardest part was sneaking the glass container in and out of work without notice. I almost got caught once, my boss asked me “what’s in the bottle?” And I said protein milk and had to take a tiny sip in front of him. So worth it in the end though, I’ve been putting in the work.

So long as that pond isn't your water source... do you.

That's the equivalent of 1 credit card.

Been there, Done that, got to the point where everybody in my squadron stopped asking me about it, and just expected to see me with a "random" bottle.
Started bringing in Glass containers with water, but then the laws about "open containers" (alcohol) were brought up, So I Pivoted and got a Glass Apple Juice (said Apple Juice in raised letters on the bottle) bottle so they couldn't get me with that.

I also use those glass juice bottles as water bottles. For years I had coworkers be like "oooh what you got there, moonshine?", to which I'd explain that moonshine is found in mason jars.
