Underconsumption Rule

How do you clean them? I once bought a dozen blue bottles of the Grolsch swing top style. I had to get rid of them eventually because there is no bottle brush that will get down in there. They were cool until then though.

I absolutely love to drink out of glass and these big openings are so good.

That's condensation.

It does kinda create the illusion of soapy bubble filled white water. If you change thinking about the 'white water' section to actually be the see through part in between clear round water droplets (the 'bubbles') that are clinging to the side of the container.

It's most likely someone recently poured some water out of it from the spout at the bottom and what water is left on the sides from the former water line slowly makes its way down to the new water level.

Because I just finished filling them and that's the water left over, and it's also an easy visual illustration of the process. I'll put it up later when we've drunk that too.

@seSvxR3ull7LHaEZFIjM @Apytele my wife seems to abhor water from the filter / tap and insists on bottled. I at least got her to switch from single use bottles to refillable jugs.

Weirdly enough even with the fridge tap my fiance was still hitting the energy drinks pretty hard but when I switched to bottling it like this he suddenly became a total #hydrohomie so I'm not fixing what ain't broke!

Glacier water gang... No need for filters

i would recommend removing the adhesive with a razor or appropriate chemical, you dont want to clog up the works in your washer.

I use either goo gone or I also pocket the skin-safe adhesive remover from work if I only use part of a bottle on someone. I'm pretty sure it's the same exact formula and I do it before their first run through the dishwater on hot so I'm not real worried about bringing home work cooties. You could also try a liquid oil like canola to loosen it up. Most adhesives like this are oil-based, so mixing a liquid oil into the solid or semi-solid adhesive will loosen it up enough for the soap to mix in better.

1. Take the sticker off (tweezers make peeling up the edge easier).

2. rub the goo gone (or oil if you use that) into the adhesive residue with your fingers. Honestly sometimes if I'm in a rush I just give the bottle a quick little handie with the oil.

3. Do the same thing but with dish soap to bind to the now liquid mixture.

4. I follow up with an abrasive sponge just to really get in there.

5. There's usually a kinda hazy shadow left over unless I really really scrub, but it basically disappears after the first wash, if not second.

If the label is paper, give it half effort at peeling, then let the dishwasher take care of the rest. If it's plastic, peel it off and let the dishwasher wash off the goo. I have had it take a couple cycles to get it all off, though. I do this with Calypso bottles mainly.

Acetone works good to get the goo off. It might fuck with your washing machine when there are bits and glue in the pump.

I try to focus more on the end result of less consumption than getting sucked into debates about which corporate overlord is the worstest.

I dream of being whatever the closest thing is to a social anarchist "influencer." Maybe "role model" is the right word? Underconsumption doesn't need to be ugly!
