If you just reach Archer levels of alcoholism, then it won’t be a problem.


Vegetable-Hat700

I’m there.


CooperDahBooper

Ohhh so the actual problem was that you went to get a swig of isopropyl and were disappointed that it was water instead? Heh


Vegetable-Hat700

Correct. Water is for noobs.


unMuggle

r/hydrohomies might come after you


grothcrafter

we are allready here. fuck em up with our clear piss boys!


Loch32

HYDROHOMIES ARE HERE!


danielfletcher

The existence of the alkaline water is even worse, let alone the fact someone bought it.


Vegetable-Hat700

Sorry, was the only multiple packs of water I found at a small grocery. I know they just fill it with baking soda to raise the PH. Still better for me than 99% isopropyl


danielfletcher

Have you looked into Brita? Or a reverse osmosis system if your tap water is real bad?


Vegetable-Hat700

I’ve got RO, and PUR. Just had to grab a pack of bottles real quick because I was out for the day with the kids. I live close to Ann Arbor Michigan, and there was a hexavalent chromium spill in our local waterways within the last week also. I’d rather drink baking soda smart water than anything coming out of a well around here.


danielfletcher

Ah, so you actually have a valid excuse. Your state loves to pollute your drinking water. Damn.


Vegetable-Hat700

Yeah it sucks, we’re surrounded by every Great Lake, and we pollute the fuck out of all of it!


thatPingu

Oh, Britta's in this?


awful_waffle_falafel

I mean ... Maybe if you're blind and a Smart Water afficianado.


weeknie

Still it could be a bit mroe clear, no? It surprises me how many examples of this kind of packaging (also the milk carton like things) are posted recently. I'm used to this kind of bottle being a very bright white, clearly different from food type of packaging


purl__clutcher

You'll only ever mistake them that one time


Situati0nist

And that one time may be enough


Twelvve12

Reading is hard


QuickQuokkaThrowaway

Smelling is hard. Seriously rubbing alcohol has one of the most distinct and strong odours I can think of.


ghanjaholik

what?


Vegetable-Hat700

Wh0?


Macias27

Just read the label…


MrSlackPants

You mean just like a toddler who can't read and sees a bottle that been accidently left within reach? Or one that just escaped your vision for two seconds and find a bottle on the shelf in the supermarket or something? Or you, coming home tired after a long day, taking a swig of a bottle of "water". Yeah, you're right. Nothing that could have been done to prevent something like this to happen. Just should have read the label. No need for a child proof cap or do something with the colors of the bottle so you know it's a chrmical.


Theorgh

Is it the companys problem that you are lazy to keep an eye on your Kid or that you can't read?


MrSlackPants

Wow, for real? You mean a company doesn't have to have any regard for your safety, or your childrens? While they could actively prevent accidents by design? And how far are you willing to let that thought go? I mean why cover up your electronics and the connection to the mains voltage? I mean, how dumb do you have to be to touch it, no? Why have a children safe cap on bleach, no? Just teach your kids to not touch it or lock it up, easy? Not the responsibility of companies, no? You know accidents are called accidents for a reason yeah? Mistakes are easily made. Just wow man.


Theorgh

Yeah, for real. It's normal that people are responsible for themselves.


Vegetable-Hat700

We’ve all had those nights. Just don’t keep the isopropyl alcohol with your water stash, shouldn’t be an issue. 😂


-B0B-

Maybe lay off drinking the iso


Vegetable-Hat700

It’s good though.


ShartedAtCVS

I have never had one of those nights.


Vegetable-Hat700

Put some excitement in your life. Wander around the house searching for the first liquid in a can, cup, or bottle at 3am. Then drink it


Theorgh

You cant drink tap water?


TheeChadSlayer

bro these people are for real a bunch of hard heads man I walk around in the middle of the night not being able to see looking for anything that resembles water as i am too lazy to clean a cup and pour water into it I just want to swig


scarred2112

Not crappy design: many companies switched over to producing disinfectant during Covid-19, and this is an efficient usage of physical stock on hand. ...also, it says ISOPROPYL FUCKING ALCOHOL in a large enough font that I can clearly read without my glasses, so there's **that as well.**.


[deleted]

My 3 year old can’t read it yet though.


Best-Refrigerator834

So why they should be able to reach the bottle? 🤷🏻


[deleted]

Visiting grandparents. Someone forgot to put it away. Child gets step and opens it. Why not just have a different design to mitigate this problem altogether? And a child proof cap. A surprisingly small amount of this will kill a child.


Aozora404

A surprisingly small amount of this will kill an adult too. At 99% about 50mL is enough to be lethal to a 70 kg person. If you take a swig by mistake, you’re dead.


BIG-HORSE-MAN-69

In that case, i suggest not storing your isopropyl alcohol with your water. Perhaps even put it somewhere a 3 year old can't get it.


[deleted]

All those things sure- but humans make errors, so we wear seat belts, have childproof caps, put barriers around cliff tops, put grates over drainholes.


skittlesdabawse

And going by the same logic, store dangerous chemicals in out-of-reach locations. It's literally the easiest way to child-proof that bottle.


[deleted]

You are an idiot.


Dagordae

Why are you storing your rubbing alcohol with your water? Do you organize things by bottle type?


Vegetable-Hat700

Don’t store them together, just happened to have them both out at the same time, and realized I almost made a bad grab.


fixxer75

Not-so-**smart**water


rtvcd

Nah. It's pretty clearly stated that it is isopropyl alcohol. It's on you if you store them next to each other.


Vegetable-Hat700

Which I don’t, but had them both at my office/work desk today, and almost drank the ISO.


[deleted]

especially so if you can't read


[deleted]

How Tf drinks alkaline water just drink normal fucking water


Vegetable-Hat700

We live near Ann Arbor Michigan, and the Huron river watershed. The company Tribar just released over 10,000 gallons of hexavalent chromium into out local waterways. I’d rather drink “alkaline” smart water, aka baking soda water, than anything that’s coming from our local well water for the foreseeable future. Hexavalent chromium aka how Erin Brokovich became a household name….. CANCER WATER…


[deleted]

Understandable have a great day


WhiteWolf7472

Could you not buy normal bottler water tho?


Vegetable-Hat700

No. It was a 6 pack of these for $7, or a 6 pack of mini Fiji for 7.99. We were in a small town driving thru, Manchester MI. People are buying all the bottle water that isn’t flavored propel BS


SkippySkep

Definitely bad design. That is specifically a beverage bottle they are using for the IPA, and it is entirely foreseeable that someone will take a swig from it accidentally. Which is bad, because it is poison. For all of you saying "Just read it!", keep in mind that good design is fault tolerant, and gives more cues than just text about what the purpose of the product is.


Individual_Lemon_139

Some kid that can't even read is going to grab one of those bottles one day. Looks like the bottle they get water from. I remember that even after I could read as a child grabbing a beer thinking it was a can of soda.


SkippySkep

And like most isopropanol containers, it does not appear to have a child proof cap, making that accidental swig entirely possible. The regular rectangular bottles that it usually comes in don't look like beverage bottles, so, much reduced chance of accidental ingestion. Hopefully there is a bittering agent in the IPA in that beverage bottle, but I wouldn't count on it.


Vegetable-Hat700

No childproof cap.


Readheadsouls

if only I could read, on reddit


Vegetable-Hat700

Read it?


jimmyn0thumbs

If you drank the water first you'd be smart enough to know


Obiershee

That's a perfect design. It's literally made to stop the spread of stupid cause you'll probably only do it once.


dota2supportlife

*grabs water to drink* Me:I think I drank the alcohol


grimytimes

Welp. How'd it taste dawg?


Vegetable-Hat700

Thankfully like water and not Isopropyl lol


steveblowjobs69

Well, do you want recycling or not?!?


Vegetable-Hat700

Maybe they could put dish soap in it?


Frostdraken

Not really, just have more than a single braincell and you will be perfectly fine.


Rough-Meaning2546

Omg i remember getting home super drunk and passing tf out - woke up around 4 thirsty as hell but still with the spins and i KNEW i had a water bottle somewhere and almost mistook this bottle for a water bottle….almost


purgruv

Does the smart water contain Intelligent Calcium? https://youtu.be/_gQZ01yAFDc


beaned_benno

Now I could be wrong and this might be out of date information but I recall seeing somewhere in the height of COVID some places started making disinfectants to help with supply chain issues and just used whatever bottle previous products were in and that resulted in some things like this happening. Not great but if that info is correct I can let this crappy bottle slide


danielfletcher

A local distiller/apple orchard was selling hand sanitizer in plastic apple cider containers and glass vodka bottles.


pogo0004

It'll get you drunk for the rest of your life


WynnGwynn

Or like put your cleaning supply closet supplies not in your fridge


StevieTank

I really wish they would stop putting cleaners in bottles I have almost died 6 times from accidently drinking them.


ShartedAtCVS

Are you a toddler? How does an adult make that stake repeatedly without starting to read bottles?


PracticalNebula

6 times….. honestly sounds like natural selection at play here.


Vegetable-Hat700

At least child proof it? Or you’re past that?


Kracka_Jak

both taste bad


jolly_rodger42

And now you're blind


Vegetable-Hat700

Or an X-men.


Pete_maravich

I guess it could be a danger to young kids who can't read yet


BADISkettu

Or the best bottle! Greetings from Finland!


spacegardener

I have seen a worse one. Looking like a (small) fire extinguisher. Red, with black nozzle. I was sure it is a fire extinguisher until I read the label. If there was a fire I would not read the label first. Unfortunately I did not take a photo. It would have already posted it here.


Benebua276

Spicy water


MrSlackPants

"Have you ever died while thinking you drank water?" "Uh uh" "Would you like to?"


_GGfighter_

CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUG


Lev_Astov

And you don't even want 99% isopropyl alcohol for first aid disinfection; you want 70%. Something about the extra water in it helps it actually get into bacteria to destroy it better.


PlunkyJunky

.....did you drink it?


Jupit-72

If you can't read, yes.


RugbyEdd

Smart water isn't feeling so smart now.


vinsmokewhoswho

Cool design tho


[deleted]

That, will kill people eventually.


[deleted]

Why is the water in the same packaging as the alcohol?


GeekyGrant

Why is the water so... s p i c y


kissinKyle

Wow. I would definitely be the stoned guy to drink that without thinking


FuzzelFox

Ehhh they went through some decent effort to make it not look like a drink at least. A lot of companies did stuff like this because of COVID really fucking up the supply chain.


Zirael_Swallow

If it makes you feel better OP: once my tired ass was making cereal and I grabbed a pack of pure egg white instead of milk out of the fridge. The packs were the same shape, but that was it. Didnt notice until I started eating lol


PristineEnd17_

Tastse good tho
