lmao god damn it, I wondered why the PCC decimated their sparkling water section yesterday and it turns out they banned single-use plastic bottles, so all that's left is topo chico (which is fine but comes in tiny bottles) and the gimmicky aluminum bottles that cut your hand open
if you want to encourage responsible use of non-renewable materials, please sell growlers and get someone to R&D a municipal water growler fill station that works off industrial CO2 cylinders @PCC@twitter.com
there's no reason I should be throwing away any bottle at all to get tap water with bubbles in, and I don't want to have to buy proprietary CO2 cylinders that contribute to apartheid in occupied palestine
@vogon I thought 425g CO2 cylinders were industry standard.
@jautero huh! I was always under the impression that the socket end was proprietary and patented, but that might be a mistaken impression. I'll do more research, thanks!
@vogon It seems to be at least ISO standard. I think the reason is obvious. Good luck getting your proprietary pressurized gas container pass all safety regulation.
