The inside of the can is lined by spray coating an epoxy lacquer or polymer to protect the aluminum from being corroded by acidic contents such as carbonated beverages and imparting a metallic taste to the beverage.
Ya good point, plasmadistortion. Recyclable aluminum cans are worse than plastic bottles. So glad you came here to share your wisdom with all of us. What other gems do you have?
What bougie venue you been to that uses anything more fancy than a clear solo cup? Every concert I’ve been to in the last… 5 years at LEAST has been either a plastic bottle with the cap removed, a clear plastic cup, or a liquid death.
At least here in Germany everyone is selling drinks (beer as well as Softdrinks) from the tap in cups with usually 1 or 2 euros as a deposit so people don’t throw them to the ground and create a hazard
Often the cups are also branded from the band so I collected a couple over the years
That’s… actually pretty cool. It tells me the water itself is actually not the product, it’s the can design. They’re essentially selling a way of overcoming the very real social anxiety alcoholics can go through when they give up booze, but don’t want to give up the social lives they’ve built around drinking.
I was all ready to hate on this, but if it’s actually legitimately helping people stay off alcohol while maintaining a social life, then I can’t really fault it.
A lot of the ones I drink are only available in Denmark, but the Dutch Bavaria and the German Perlenbacher make non-alcoholic beers that taste great and (especially in the case of Perlenbacher) are actually cheap too!
Of the more pricey ones, Italian Peroni and Danish Mikkeler also have some delicious non-alcoholic ones.
There’s tons of others too, especially if you (unlike me) don’t mind a moderately to very hoppy taste.
Those are just off the top of my head 🙂
You make significant changes by implementing smaller parts over time. The important bit is they’re not drinking alcohol. They can break the association down the line. You should focus more on you and worry less about what others should do :D
My dude, they’re trying to combat the peer pressure effect of someone’s buddies razzing them over drinking a “frou-frou sissy drink” instead of grabbing a cold beer. I know it’s Lemmy, but come the fuck on.
I bought some on sale once because it was cheaper than normal bubble water. I laughed every time I drank one and my wife refused to be seen with them. “Darling, don’t you need to murder your thirst?!” It was the best sale purchase I’ve made at the grocery store in recent memory.
As someone else said, recovering alcoholics, but also they market towards sustainability. Infinitely recyclable aluminum instead of single use bottles and all that. I’m still just gonna drink from the tap most of the time, but I’ll pick one up on a road trip or if I’m going on a picnic or something
Unsure why your downvoted, aluminium cans have a plastic liner on the inside. Their “better” than plastic bottles but still contribute to waste plastic.
They taste more mineral water than seltzer water to me. Much more similar to a Perrier than a LaCroix. To me, at least, this means they taste fine cold, but start to go off pretty quick as it heats up and flattens. So, they have the same problem I have with Perrier, in that they’re in larger containers and thus more prone to getting warm before you finish it.
Never bought it, never will. I don’t understand people sometimes.

Thank you ChatGPT!
What people can’t quote articles now?

Lemmy has become a toxic place thanks to people like you. I made a simple comment and instead you felt the need to be a jerk.
Lemmy is a toxic place since people talk about it stuff they know nothing about and than get bitchy when someone points it out.

Which concert doesn’t sell drinks in (reusable) cups?
And for festivals I still will go with some 5L canisters full of water over a lot of cans

Ah, a deposit. That makes sense, so it’ll never happen here jn the states lol.

Apparently their market is recovering alcoholics that want to feel like they’re holding a beer can when they’re out with friends.

Non-alcoholic beer exists and is available in cans. They even figured out how to make it taste like the “real” thing.
As someone who doesn’t drink alcohol anymore but still loves the taste of beer, I highly recommend it!
What brand(s) comes closest to tasting good, in your experience?
A lot of the ones I drink are only available in Denmark, but the Dutch Bavaria and the German Perlenbacher make non-alcoholic beers that taste great and (especially in the case of Perlenbacher) are actually cheap too!
Of the more pricey ones, Italian Peroni and Danish Mikkeler also have some delicious non-alcoholic ones.

Infinitely reciclable alluminum, but covered in plastic lol

Their flavored seltzers are absolutely repulsive, and I say this as a huge seltzer drinker

Agreed. Polar or Waterloo is where it’s at.
