Not only do they cost more, the greater surface area means your cold drink warms up faster.
Neat.

Where is the one on the left no longer available? I live in the US and see those all the time.
People with vending machines aren't going to be happy, those new ones won't fit.
As a consumer you should have thought about the consequences of your habits. Because of you they now have to replace all the vendig machines.
Its the consumers fault. Companies have absolutely no responsibility.
Huge /S if there ever was any doubt.
Just straight up stop buying shit. Drink filtered tap, and live off only what you need and shrug off ppl that think buying expensive shit will make them cool.
I meant use a brita or something
Just a heads up Brita filters do basically nothing it's mostly just a carbon block which will help remove chlorine flavor which makes it taste a little better but in terms of actually removing contaminants it does very little to almost nothing.
Zero water is the closest thing in brita drip form that actually removes things but getting a counter top reverse osmosis is the way to go if not getting a dedicated under sink unit
Just remember! Reverse osmosis filters are NOT eco friendly, it cost 3 to 4 gallons of waste water discard to gain 1 gallon of drinking water.
Using modern filters, and using a pressure booster pump to ensure proper pressure level this is actually nowhere near as bad it's now possible to achieve a one-to-one clean to waste ratio.
If you don't want any waste you can go to nanofiltration which is roughly as effective as Reverseosmosis and does not have the Wastewater issue but they are significantly more expensive.
And it's not as if that Wastewater is sewage it's just the same water that came in with a higher concentration of the stuff that you didn't want that was already present in the water so that Wastewater can be reused for gardening, or gray water such as showers and toilets
I get that they aren't perfect but everything has a trade off and reverse osmosis or nanofiltration is really the only way to get rid of many different sources of water contamination especially things like microplastics and pfas
Also stop paying for filtered tap water when there's nothing wrong with your specific tap water.
Where I live has heavy agriculture and oil industry presence. People here are concerned over pesticides and random chemicals randomly seeping into the water system.
Sadly not everyone has great chlorine-free water. One of the most annoying experiences every time I go abroad (for example to Italy)
Quite true. Not everyone has lead-free water either. But people whose water is perfectly great do not need to pay for filtered water - especially not in single-use plastic bottles.

surely this uses more aluminum
It may use less aluminum, as the top and bottom surfaces are much thicker

Welcome to the world, m8! :,-)
I'm surprised the new one isn't something less than 12 ounces.
The fuck is a fluid ounce?
Fluid ounce is volume, ounce is weight. Liters vs grams.
Ah wonderful, so I'm sure one fluid ounce of water weighs precisely one ounce weight wise?
Almost identical, my understanding is itβs slightly off since itβs such an old measurement. But for everyday purposes itβs the same.
Common mistake. Its actually Florida ounces.
Ounces that are wet.
...two-thirds a dram of scotch whisky...
Damn liberals and their woke-genderized measurements smh
About 4.835 micro cubic fathoms.
1/8th of a cup

Babe, wake up. New shit corpo practice just dropped.
A few years back we literally had frito lay vendors come in before store open to reset the chip aisle, all the bag sizes shrank and they credited out the previous size.
So that's why they changed the shape. I saw no valid reason so I just assumed they were trying to evade taxes in some way. I'll admit I have no idea how much anything I buy at a convenience store costs.
