I bought a sparkling water with no water.

I don't know how to prove it, but I was carrying this pack of sparkling water, dropped it and this can flew out, that's why its dented. Its still sealed, but has 0 sparkling water. I feel scammed.

oops all sparkle

It's dehydrated instant water. You just add water and it turns into water.

Every 12 pack comes with one can of Sparkling Oxygen. It's the latest trend.

As long as the sparkles are there -- you're good.

call the number on the back of the can and tell them. they love to hear when bottlers are screwing them and will fix the supply chain issue. Also you have a good chance of getting coupons for free seltzer. I did it before when I bought dr pepper 2 years ago and one can was half full. I call the company thanked me for the info and send me coupons for 3 12 packs of dr pepper in appreciation.

At least you got free calories, sodium and sweetener with it.

Mixed berry? More like Missed berry!

Bottlers should have a full can inspector working and the empty can is kicked off the line. This happens when a tank is switched at the can filler.

Better than the sadness fizz that the can was supposed to contain. 🤣

Curious if the brand was the same or different as OP

henfredemars@infosec.pub · 2 pts · 2d

Nope. Mine was Aldi store brand both times.

I do love a cold seltzer. Vintage has the cleanest taste with Canada Dry coming in 2nd.

It's a can of dehydrated water. Keep it, it will help in one of your quests one day.

Oh hey Acme. Usually they replace things? Maybe yours is mean though.
