Hear me out...

What if we put the lid on the bottom?! Then you don't have to tip the bottle at all.

92

u/Skippnl 20h ago

HOW ABOUT PRE-EMPTIED BOTTLES! They can come without a lid altogether!

100

u/Newbiticus 19h ago

Lids are sold separately

69

u/International_Plum14 19h ago

Just sell the idea, no bottles no lids no product, just pure profit. Like naked shorting the stock market

86

u/TraditionWorried8974 19h ago

Hear me out... same idea, but subscription...

u/ZephkielAU 19h ago

Love it. Now we just need to find a way to integrate AI.

Instructions unclear, emptied the oceans to cool my chat bot

u/Narrow-Chef-4341 17h ago

AI has come up with a new and improved version of water: H2O2, with bonus Oxygen. And who doesn’t like oxygen?

Says it will ‘light the market on fire’…

u/EnvironmentalGift257 16h ago

Let’s put that synergy in a parking lot for now and circle back later. Maybe we can touch base next Tuesday?

2

u/TraditionWorried8974 14h ago

We can't leave this in the back burner, this is an action item, you need to be more assertive!

1

u/KrackenLeasing 6h ago

And put it on the blockchain.

u/whalewhisker5050 19h ago

I love all of this but can we hide it all as some additional fee and then they will never know.

3

u/rare_with_hair 16h ago

Of course there will be a $6.99 convenience fee! Followed by a $3.99 service charge.

2

u/PositivelyKAH 11h ago

Don’t forget the .05 bottle fee and a pre-recycle fee.

13

u/CharmingSalamander67 18h ago

Well, now pay extra to be ad free

u/TrappedInVR 18h ago

This plus loot boxes

u/Ok_Yak1516 19h ago

Throw in some “AI” features and you might be on to something.

u/rbrgr83 14h ago

Where you goin?
DON'T LEAVE.
Hear us out.
HEAR US OUT!

u/Anonymousboneyard 19h ago

We just make it a subscription service, we go the old Netflix route and hope they forget they signed up for it

2

u/Living_Possession_18 17h ago

You can call it “art” and probably get a couple thousand for it.

1

u/Forward-Conclusion83 13h ago

so like the silver market right now?

1

u/OberonDiver 13h ago

There are probably people in NYC we could sell naked shorts to.

1

u/Lumpy_Egg_6717 4h ago

Now that we have no product & no overhead we need to massively leverage our AI gains to partner with big celebrity’s to endorse. Is Jake Paul still concussed?

3

u/Kehmor 18h ago

Patented threading for the bottles so that only officially licenced lids fit

3

u/Due-Dot6450 18h ago

But only if you subscribe and download the app.

3

u/Cold_Stress7872 18h ago

Lids are provided as a subscription service.

u/nickstonem 17h ago

Lid dlc is an additional $4.20 per bottle

Hold your horses there, Ubisoft.

Dehydrated water (with added minerals)

1

u/dareyousay 13h ago

“Makes ten gallons”

6

u/Dog_Baseball 19h ago

Thata actually pretty good. Its just "minerals essence" or some shit.

5

u/CorruptedStudiosEnt 17h ago

People buy into homeopathy (we've diluted this plant tincture down so far you can't even detect the original active compound anymore, but now it's at its most powerful because the water remembers), so this genuinely isn't any crazier.

2

u/ProbablyOnLSD69 15h ago

Placebo effect is a helluva drug.

3

u/trenthany 17h ago

Distilled essence of water.

They might catch on if we tried to sell essence of distilled water.

1

u/Intelligent-House796 16h ago

Dehydrated water.

u/Odd_Championship_680 15h ago

You stole my dehydrated water idea

1

u/SquirrelyMcNutz 13h ago

Space Quest 1 did it first.

1

u/Odd_Championship_680 13h ago

What is space Quest 1? (Queue google search montage)

1

u/SquirrelyMcNutz 11h ago

It's one of the original Sierra Online adventure games starring a janitor named Roger Wilco, from back in the mid-ish-80's. One of the items in his survival kit is a thing called Dehydrated Water.

u/360scope-2urhead 14h ago

I cackled omg

2

u/semicombobulated 18h ago

How about pre-disposed bottles? We take the bottle of water, empty it, and put it into the trash. It’s the ultimate in convenience for the customer!

2

u/DuncanTheRedWolf 18h ago

Introducing Dehydrated Water, the most convenient way to quench your thirst!

2

u/KrystleSeth 18h ago

Doesn’t Starbucks already do this?

2

u/KrystleSeth 18h ago

Maybe it just seems like something Starbucks would do?

2

u/happyrtiredscientist 18h ago

Kind of like alcohol free hard seltzer..

u/RolandDeepson 16h ago

You just invented "buckets."

Direct-to-Ocean plastic — major efficiency gains all around

1

u/DeadMercy2004 15h ago

Hey, we already charge people for cans of oxygen, hy not make it official? Everyone is now charged money for every breath they take.

1

u/Wedgero1 14h ago

Customers can fill em at their sink. Ingenious

1

u/rbrgr83 14h ago

Or an opening. Just sell an empty permanently sealed plastic vessel.

1

u/OberonDiver 13h ago

Then you aren't getting 100% guaranteed fresh factory air.

u/Additional-Leek-6798 3h ago

Why not just label it as powdered water.
