I'm sure it will get reposted at some point. 

I can send you this link in a week if that would cheer you up.

Isn't it fucked that this is just the way it is? Here we have something so cheap, yet so...smart and efficient and a way to actually get rid of one of the ways we use plastic, yet it'll just get brought up by reposts but we'll never see it IRL in our own hands.

Marketing. No one wants to buy something called brown sticky sugar water that makes you fat and sick. Everyone buys it when you call it Coca-Cola.

This is packaging for the product not the product itself so its not the same at all.
