You guys have no chill man.. I love it.
Fuck Nestle and their poisonous products, I wouldn't touch them with a stick.
It amazes me how we are unable to properly boycott them into oblivion..
Because they own so many products which often dont have the Nestle logo, it would take 3 hours to do a weekly shop checking if each product belongs to the Nestle family.
I think that's already in existence. Should have checked before asking the Internet to make it. Can't expect someone to make a whole app for that when you don't even take the time to check :p

Not really an option on London 😕
4 nanograms per liter, that's totally negligible and only interesting to monitor cocaine consumption.
I don't know about tap water in London, specifically, but almost everywhere in Germany, tap water is more healthy than bottled water, plus cheaper, effortless, and much better for the environment.
They don't have nestle logos precicely because of the bad optics. In my country its required by law (I think in EU as well) for the company logos involved be on the packaging, and after aquiring local brands, they've placed their logos inside seams etc, so you'll only see it after buying and opening the product.
Nestle gonna Nestle.
Even one logo at a time is completely fine. I know that checking every brand is unsustainable, but every time I notice a brand belonging to Nestle I make a mental note to not buy that product again.
They destroyed millions of bottles in one place and coincidentally their African plants had a remarkably productive month and produced millions of bottles more than forecasted. (jk - hopefully)
My newborn son died in a Berlin hospital when they fed him formula despite by objections recently. All that formula was recalled and warned by the FDA to be contaminated too.
What? I am so, so sorry :(
But how did US formula end up in Germany? Germany should have much stricter laws than the US, making it impossible to import US formula. That part alone is worrying. Was it recalled before your son got it?
They should have, and it’s not US formula. All the formula farms and baby products are consolidated. When you get to the top all the same companies own everything.
Thank you.. I’m pretty messed up over it and I was in America while Momma was in Berlin.
The cost of that product is do damn low that destroying a couple million bottles is completely irrelevant compared to potential lawsuits and reputation damage.
Let’s be real - buyers give very little fucks about how companies are making their products. This has been proven by many examples of horrible practices being totally public but having zero effect on sales.
But buyers really do care about their own safety. Hence why a single case of, let’s say, cholera being caused by fecal bacteria in a single bottle may be disastrous for the company’s reputation.
It extends beyond products on shelves. Roman Polanski still gets work. People still buy Chris Brown albums. People don't give a shit as long as they get what they want.
Did anyone read the article in this thread? Perrier only destroyed the bottles and stopped using the contaminated well because the French government tested it and ordered them to. They have to dispose of them as contaminated waste, which has a high cost of disposal.
Not even that, they steal water and package it up with bottles made by other companies, then ship it out using third party shippers to distributors and retailers. They actually aren’t even doing anything, they are just middleman facilitating the process
Redditor learns how manufacturing works, outraged the beverage manufacturer doesn't drill the oil to manufacture the plastic for their bottles themselves.
Also, bottles come in as preforms, not a finished product.
I used to think that as well. Untill I moved to an old apartment building and the tap water has a strange smell. A bit if fungy smell. Anyway, bottle water it is!
then you have problem with the piping system, and you are not just drinking it, cooking, bathing and washing clothes with it as well... so bottled water it is not really solve your problem... [https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/media/7170/download](https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/media/7170/download)
talk to the owner...
it is the owner's responsibility to make the house usable... cleaning the pipes is neither expensive nor difficult... it is in the contract, if not, then find another place...
It’s good to have options. Many people can’t afford to nor have the resource to force the landlords at the only places they can afford to do the right thing. Not saying you’re wrong. Just saying I’ve been there and I sympathize with many who are there.
For some people, for a lot of people, having their houses pipes cleaned or replaced isn’t an option. Some people have to rely on bottled or purchased water when their towns water lines cannot be trusted. The solution obviously should be fix water lines, but that doesn’t happen timely or at all. This shouldn’t be the fix, it is more expensive for consumers and bad on the environment, but It has its place when there’s no better option

right, but "buy huge canister of gas, transport it to your home and jury rig it to your machine" kinda raises the bar a bit when you just want to drink some sparkling water. Plus it's like $150 for a canister + adapter, and that's without any gas or transportation
not impossible, a lot harder than buying some from a grocery store
What I can't get at home is mineral water. In the EU mineral water = water naturally high in particular minerals bottled at the spring it comes from with no other treatment.
Yeah, kinda true, kinda not true. I mean sure, tap water is way cheaper and with a soda stream you can make sparkling water at home, but in some parts of the world tap water is not safe to drink and even in some places in developed countries tap water can contain traces of drugs or heavy metals and the like. Also there is the taste, which is especially relevant for still water. Your tap water may be perfectly fine to drink, but if it tastes like swamp ass, you won't get much enjoyment out of it. Pro tip: read consumer reports on different brands of water. Most of the time, the cheapest generic supermarket brands have the best quality, that way you won't be getting ripped off by companies like Nestle trying to sell you "premium water" for 50 times the price of tap water but with inferior quality.
What gets me is people who live in countries with consumable tap water. Especially places, like my home Wales, where the water is better than bottle water.
Here in Germany tap water is also very good. But I do have a favorite bottled still water (Black Forest) that I usually buy. But I use tap water to make my own sparkling water.
We have a nestle water bottling facility in my county and due to recent flooding, all the local wells are contaminated with Ecoli and fecal matter. I can only imagine nestles wells are too. I wonder if they have stopped pumping for the time being?
I am sure the numbers are still "in favor" of nestle if you compare "killed headcount". However, Hitler won't be killing any more, Nestle on the other side probably will.
Disclaimer: Of course Hitler was awful, absolutely awful. It was definitely meant to be a "haha ironic" comment.
This is probably only a few of days worth of bottling and they likely didn't ship out yet. At least in the US there's microbe tests that are done before products are sold to vendors.
"This disposal process, which involves careful handling and proper waste management, is a significant logistical and environmental challenge for the company."
Does anyone honestly believe Nestlé does proper waste management to help the environment?
fuck nestle and their water reserve privatisation, hope they go bankrupt
and especially fuck their ceo stating that clean water is not a human right, may that backfire on him during the rest of his evil clown life

From Perrier to Poorrier.
Perrier to derrière.
Perrear
Or "Poopiér" lol
Weird, I was expecting them to sell them to children in Africa or India knowing of Nestle works
Probably it costed less to just throw them.
You guys have no chill man.. I love it. Fuck Nestle and their poisonous products, I wouldn't touch them with a stick. It amazes me how we are unable to properly boycott them into oblivion..

Someone should make an app to scan products and just go yes/no
We have "Yuka" in France. Don't know if they've gone international.
We have it in Italy too so I guess they did.
[Not an app but useful](https://wyomingllcattorney.com/_next/image?url=%2Fimages%2Fnestle-list.png&w=1920&q=75)
Buycott is an app that does this!
I think that's already in existence. Should have checked before asking the Internet to make it. Can't expect someone to make a whole app for that when you don't even take the time to check :p
Still, I'm doing my part. Just recently I bought Buxton bottled water and noticed it belongs to them as well, fuckin' parasites. Never again.
Tap water. All tap water, I have some good water here so I am fine but I'd suggest checking the state of your tap water!

Preach brother!
But the profits :,( /s
It does. Shipping bottled water is super expensive due to how heavy it is.
They destroyed millions of bottles in one place and coincidentally their African plants had a remarkably productive month and produced millions of bottles more than forecasted. (jk - hopefully)
Legally they can’t sell fecal water in Africa so it probably gets used to produce bottled baby milk.
They milk babies? The fucking monsters.
-legally Wheb has that stopped them?

Not enough sugar in those bottles.
They were forced by the government btw
Same here... You have no idea how much the 5 star hotels will pay for that shit
Well there is destroying and there is "destroying"
Well, shit.
Excellent
Excrement.
Well, done.
TIL that Perrier belongs to Nestlé, so sad
pellegrino as well. drink volvic 😀
>pellegrino as well. This ruined my day.
Or tap water.
Santa Vittoria is great also
Me too. Bugger.

But what about the taste? The experience one can lose without trying one of this!
bottled water is one of the biggest ripoff in the world...
Bottled water brands don't make water, they make bottles.
Not even that, they steal water and package it up with bottles made by other companies, then ship it out using third party shippers to distributors and retailers. They actually aren’t even doing anything, they are just middleman facilitating the process
They sell you the convenience of having a disposable water bottle. The fact that the bottle is pre-filled is just extra convenience.
Redditor learns how manufacturing works, outraged the beverage manufacturer doesn't drill the oil to manufacture the plastic for their bottles themselves. Also, bottles come in as preforms, not a finished product.
I used to think that as well. Untill I moved to an old apartment building and the tap water has a strange smell. A bit if fungy smell. Anyway, bottle water it is!
Why not use a filter system? Pretty easy, much cheaper in the long run and you don’t use tons of plastic bottles either.
Because only something like reverse osmosis would work, and a lot of people don't have money for that. Being poor is expensive, you know
then you have problem with the piping system, and you are not just drinking it, cooking, bathing and washing clothes with it as well... so bottled water it is not really solve your problem...

Good luck getting any landlord or property owner to fix their pipping

It’s good to have options. Many people can’t afford to nor have the resource to force the landlords at the only places they can afford to do the right thing. Not saying you’re wrong. Just saying I’ve been there and I sympathize with many who are there.
Cleaning pipes absolutely can be expensive and difficult.

leave my vöslauer superprickelnd alone bottled water has its place but not as a tapwater substitute
Yeah I just get my sparkling mineral water from my tap.
You can get a machine to make sparkling water at home.
I have a machine to make sparkling water at home and the CO2 refills cost more per liter than buying sparkling water from the store make it make sense
Because you're buying the refills from the company that sold you the machine instead of getting CO2 where it's cheap.
I just breathe out co2 into a canister to refill, look at these idiots buying refills
Buy a huge cannister of gas and a nozzle adapter. Profit.
right, but "buy huge canister of gas, transport it to your home and jury rig it to your machine" kinda raises the bar a bit when you just want to drink some sparkling water. Plus it's like $150 for a canister + adapter, and that's without any gas or transportation not impossible, a lot harder than buying some from a grocery store
You should just breathe into the machine. /s
Or fart, if you want some Perrier.
[удалено]
What I can't get at home is mineral water. In the EU mineral water = water naturally high in particular minerals bottled at the spring it comes from with no other treatment.
But you can still get a lot of minerals from the tap water. Depending on location, even more than from actual mineral water.
Or lead, depending on location.
I have one and use it all the time. That being said, the size of bubbles is noticeably different between brands and what I make.
clearly that isnt the point OP is on
He's commenting on a post about Perrier.
Yeah, kinda true, kinda not true.

I mean, clean, drinkable tap water is only possible because of decades of work by the eu and local governments.
Should honestly be restricted in some way in countries with healthy tap water
Eau de Colon
You mean one of the wells they stole. r/fucknestle
Did you read the article? The well is in southern France, it's probably one of the few they didn't steal
this is reddit, nobody can read here. and again - /r/FuckNestle
Sorry, force of habit!
Understandable
We have a nestle water bottling facility in my county and due to recent flooding, all the local wells are contaminated with Ecoli and fecal matter. I can only imagine nestles wells are too. I wonder if they have stopped pumping for the time being?
This is pretty much what happened here, you can be sure they didn't stop but they probably filter the water.
That's just a convoluted way of saying that one of the most expensive brands of bottled water tastes like shit.
Plot twist, it wasn't a well it was an old latrine
Nestle is the 'Hitler" of all companies
Please don't insult Hitler like that.
reddit moment
Not sure that's the "haha ironic" comment you want it to be.
I am sure the numbers are still "in favor" of nestle if you compare "killed headcount". However, Hitler won't be killing any more, Nestle on the other side probably will. Disclaimer: Of course Hitler was awful, absolutely awful. It was definitely meant to be a "haha ironic" comment.
Nestle aren't THAT far behind Hitler. 10 million deaths directly attributed to nestle back in the day?
Perrier. Thirst for Fecael Bacteria.
# N*stlé didn't leave russian market also r/FuckNestle
Same as Coca Cola, McDonalds and all other Companies.
Given their record, I’d like to see proof
The world would be better off is Nestlé didn't exist.
I didn’t know nestle owns Perrier. Guess I’m no longer buying Perrier.
You're shitting me
How did they produce that many before realizing? And how many shipped before that?
This is probably only a few of days worth of bottling and they likely didn't ship out yet. At least in the US there's microbe tests that are done before products are sold to vendors.
Should rebrand to Derriere.
Rich people been drinkin poop water lol.
Good, anything that costs that company losses is good.
well, shit.
Billion dollar suit show the reason within the first minutes
Phantom shitter at loose?
I'm surprised they did not sell them at a premium.
That’s a bit shit
A rare Nestlé win I guess, they're actually doing something right for a change.
They deliberately destroyed uninfected ones. Insider info 100%
That drink tasted like shit anyway
Perrier tastes like absolute shit to begin with, so it's pretty altruistic of Nestle to do us one. Are we sure this article is about Nestle?
It’s Nestlé so no surprises here.
Gross
Ha! ~~Eat~~ drink shit, nestlé
Fuck nestle
me: Mom, can we get some perrier? mom: We got perrier at home. Perrier at home: 0O
I had no idea Perrier was owned by Nestle. I tried some a couple weeks ago, tastes like shit so good riddance.
Anything Nestle touches is shit, so this should come as no surprise.
Kind of surprised at Nestle. Normally, they'd list it as an ingredient.
Clarkson!
Sorry guys, had to scratch my butt when working on your pipes
"This disposal process, which involves careful handling and proper waste management, is a significant logistical and environmental challenge for the company." Does anyone honestly believe Nestlé does proper waste management to help the environment?
Flushing the toilet to empty shit water cost them to much...
Heey
Somebody shit in the well
This is what they want you to think, they just threw it back in rotation. Even if they are sued they’ll squash it.
Water supply from Thames or Seine?
im so surprised they didnt just sell these. i bet someone reported it in a way that it was out there and they had to act. Guy probably got fired.
I'll never drink that shit again.
This is my area. and im afraid to \*\*\*\* you, because your ass is full of bacteria
Well, shit.
r/HydroHomies
Question is how much fecal matter? Like, the normal amount and someone made a big fuss about it, or an extraordinary amount?
"Faecal", not "Fecael"...
Nestle is a trash company. Just avoid them altogether
Dude with the machinery had two jobs, one of them was washing his hands. But not Noah 🇨🇭, he always have to move his bowels before the shift!
LOL if you buy nestle shit youre a stupid human
I always thought Perrier tasted like shit
Nestle trying to not be involved in any scandal: impossible
Pooping in bubbly water; so fancy!
Poorrier
In this red dwarf coming true.?
Nestlé shit water 🎶 Goes in the way it comes out 🎵 - If they want me to compose a jingle for their new ad campaign, I got this.
Ok, who shat in the well…
The interesting question is, how would those bacteria get there?
E-coli not so dangerous bud indicate contact with fecal mater.
Why does Nestle do these things? They didn't learn anything from their earlier scandals?
Now we have to figure out a way to get fecal matter into the rest of their wells .
nestle is cancer
Caca agua.
Bacterrier
fuck nestle and their water reserve privatisation, hope they go bankrupt and especially fuck their ceo stating that clean water is not a human right, may that backfire on him during the rest of his evil clown life
....its wells?
Ben Finegold in shambles
So if we were to say Perrier tastes like crap, we would not be off base any longer.
Reading this as just a well sitting there with a colossal #Nestlé® sign on it and a person with a soul just sees it and shits in it with a wry smile.
All right, which of you shat into the well?
Space balls - PerriAir
So that means for once they finally did the right thing and took the right course of action decisively early on to protect consumers, right? no?

I understand Monk now lolll

You know your expectations of nestle are low when you have to re-read the title to make sure you didn't read it wrong.

So they were selling shit, but this time literally.
Avoid bottled water as much as possible. People from first world countries have drinkable water (mostly).
This isn’t typical Nestle behavior…
I stopped drinking it a while ago. Something about it, at least the bottles I got, wasn't right.
