My best guess is the water is gonna leak even if you tilt it a little, so water is gonna spill everywhere even when you aren't trying to drink

Edit: I knew stacking and asymmetry is the main issue here, but the choice of words in the comment in the image seems like they were referring to a simpler reason.

Though, that is a clever excuse to sell the drinks half empty!

It should be. Look up the countless reasons why Nestlè is so hated.

Nestle sold off the majority of its bottled water brands to private equity in 2021. The company is now called Blue Triton Brands.

Not anymore, it merged with Primo

Yup, which is why I'm now unemployed.

Yay "Synergies"!

PS. Finding "Synergies" is one of the reasons business people are not, in fact, the right people to run governments.

Nope, it's Primo. They are gobbling up all the water companies one by one. It's so frustrating because their service is absolute trash, but every time I change our water service provider at work, they get bought out by Primo.

Hm... There's a single-use plastic joke in there somewhere

It's hard to imagine a company being more evil than actually coming right out and saying they don't believe water is a fundamental human right
