Water pods?

Question

Pros:

Cons:

Bonus: What are your ideas for how we help the earth out?

Answer

They aren’t practical or convenient

Answer

Cons: I have a texture issue and can guarantee these things would NOT work for people like me. Hard pass. I try to eliminate my plastic use in other places, because I would not drink water if it weren’t for water bottles

Answer

The only situation I can think of where this might be nice is a race water station. People could grab and go and there wouldn’t be as many cups all over the ground that have to get picked up.

Answer

I’d rather stick withy reuseable water bottle. I feel like people would literally throw these ar each other like balloons.

Answer

It seems like it would just be smarter to promote more use of reusable water bottles or cups, and maintain water fill stations.. the pods are interesting, but look small and don’t sound very durable for on the go use

Answer

I use a 40 oz Klean Kanteen and fill it up at home from my R.O. system before I go to work or run errands every time. I take it on hikes, trips, everywhere. It’s stainless steel, so no worries on drinking any chemicals the water has leeched off from the vessel.I never have the need to use plastic water bottles.

Answer

I drink kombucha which comes in a glass bottle, I just reuse them for a week or so until I get another kombucha. It works out perfect because I kept dropping and breaking my glass reusable bottles.

Answer

I think this is a terrible idea that not many people at all would buy. I know I wouldn't.

Answer

I don't like the idea. 
Reusable glass or metal water bottles are so much more effective. 
I have so many issues with that product, including what is the substance holding the water in the 'pod'? What extra chemicals are people suggesting we ingest now?? On a less 'I've done too much research and now I'm terrified of everything I've ever ingested' note, does the material the pod is made of affect the flavor? Is it slimy when you put it in your mouth? Do the pods come in different sizes to accommodate children and people who have to take smaller sips? Swallowing anything bigger than a normal person's small sip hurts my throat and I reeeaaallly dislike the idea of holding water that may taste bad in my mouth to swallow it in less painfully sized gulps.

Answer

As others have said, this is not practical. I carry water with me in a reusable glass bottle (it has a rubber sleeve so keep it from be a break hazard). I rarely buy water in a disposable plastic bottle so I don’t see any use for this in my life.
