Liquid Death Is Such a Confusing Product

- Liquid Death is water in a can. Pretty exciting. At least that’s what everybody seems to think haha. I think it’s a cool product for anyone looking to hold something in their hands at a party when they don’t want to actually drink, but it’s still just water. Let’s calm down a little bit.

Grab a can of Liquid Death and a box of candy cigarette to look and feel like a true badass
Add the cap gun 🔫 to look even more gangster 😎
Carrying around bags of Monopoly money 😭
Riding a power wheels Lamborghini
I'm into it
i think candy cigarettes are banned because it "promotes smoking for kids" at least I haven't seen a box of candy cigs anywhere in many years
The story I heard for the creation of Liquid Death is that the guy was at a concert and he saw the band members slamming down tall cans of monster. He then acquired a can to see that it’s monster branded “tour water” so the band could promote monster energy drinks. And another thing they wanted to do is make drinking water “cool” so you don’t have to be that awkward one drinking “La croix” when others are drinking beer.
I went to a concert and I told my friend I did not want alcohol. He gave me Liquid Death and I was “what”.
He said “it’s water, I promise”.
My mom asked about it when she noticed it in my cupholder. Her face when I said it was water.
I like how you can escape peer pressure about drinking alcohol with this product.
Its called beer pressure not peer pressure.
cringe
Who peer pressures these days?
@@erikaLS305 I think its internalized. People peer pressure themselves. If everyone else is doing something and they arent they feel out of the loop.
@@Tinylittledansonmanyeah I think you're right for the most part. There are so many times in my adult life I turn down drinking when I'm out. No one, a new person I just met or an old friend, has ever ostracized me when I told them I wasn't drinking that night which was most.
Take a shot of water every time he says "it's just water" you'll be hydrated af
I'm 5 minutes in and I already peed myself from how much water I've drank
It’s been popular in rock scenes for a while now with concerts where everyone is drinking for those straight edge or just underage. As well as cases of water bottles being given out to keep people from passing out so one that reduces plastic waste has been great (:
He addressed the plastic pollution though
I’m not an expert on the subject but I think aluminum also isn’t great for the environment because it requires mining in rainforests for iron ore
All single use items are bad whether they're recyclable or not. This kind of mindset is so harmful. "Well actually it's "good" for the environment so it's definitely worth $10 and you don't have to feel bad about using them cause it's not plastic!" like how soft in the head to you have to be to buy into this shit. Also at concerts, I've never seen them give out Liquid Death in place of water bottles lol. Usually venues give out small disposable cups of water. How the hell is a $10 can of water a good solution to the plastic bottle problem at concerts that doesn't exist
@@inyrui saying “it’s also not good” is not an answer to the question as to what’s better, and objectively cans are better for recycling than plastic. Getting rid of single use items is the goal but is not possible, you really gotta be “soft in the head” as you say to think getting rid of single use is at all feasible so the best solution is to reduce the impact, which cans do. To your point of, I haven’t seen it so it doesn’t exist means nothing as I am pointing out what I notice in my sphere of music.
Aluminum isn't much better though. The energy and carbon cost of making an aluminum can are higher than that of a plastic bottle
aluminum is a lot better to recycle than plastic, and people who are sober can drink with their friends and not feel like the odd one out drinking from a plastic bottle. my sister buys a different brand that looks like a bud light lol
edit: i commented this before i got to the point where you said almost verbatim what i said haha
People do that a lot on my videos lol no worries

Aluminum is usually recycled more often than plastic but an increase in demand for aluminum cans (should companies migrate from tin -> plastic) implies in necessity for more mining companies which is definitely not better for the environment. So it's not environmentally sound. (Whereas plastic bottles comes from oil byproduct, byproduct of which is already sitting there unused anyway).
@@rayres1074 did you really just say that plastic is fine to use? literally who says that. single use plastic bottles are the worst thing to use.
@@hell0mega I think there are worse materials to use as a container.
i drink these almost daily. the greatest thing about them is i can trick myself into thinking im drinking a light beer while im at work.
The flavor is indistinguishable!
Are you a recovering alcoholic?
Homie please, please just buy a water bottle and reuse that. There is absolutely no reason to buy single use disposable WATER. Please, I beg of you.
@@dayrkflaugh boy if light beer was tasteless I wouldnt wince every time i have my first sip lol
@@sorryimsosad Could just be regret. Lol
I am so sorry that you made this probably mere hours before finding out about their Vegan Cannibal Steakhouse.
What
Huh?
Their what??????
WHAT?
Excuse me?
I remember the commercials for this last year and at first I thought it was a joke. Then I learned it wasn’t. That was definitely an “Oh, wait, you’re serious. Let me laugh even harder” situation.
“TV static in a can” is the most accurate description of sparkling water I’ve ever heard.
You tried
@@Godeias tried what
TV static is better than some of the actual content on television and streaming these days, so depending on who you ask, the analogy may not be a bad thing.
Jokes on you I have ADHD and find Tv static soothing
Scott trashing himself for doing a Raid Shadow Legends ad is hilarious.
"It just tastes like liquid TV static in a can" is a very accurate description of sparkling water.
I love the canned water idea. No plastic, East to recycle, and best of, you can make it funny as heck.
Except it is BARELY easier to recycle, and is also; still one use.
@@rakuranhawke8600 Isn't aluminum recycled at a much higher rate than PET??
@@vivianloney There are issues around aluminium mining for the cans, as well as the more single use nature of canned beverages.
You can reuse plastic bottles, I do plenty of times.
But apparently it comes down to what happens to recycling after it is used.
What portion of recycled materials ends up in South-East Asia (which would equally still apply with plastics), but also what other impacts do cans have over plastics too.
I am no statistician in this regard, and my research comes mainly from the statements of others; but apparently it is still rather a minute difference.
I certainly don't want a bird to choke a plastic bottle from the trash islands, but would the same apply for cans if it was a whole substitute?
I finally tried this stuff. The still water is, as expected, just typical every day bottled water but in a can. I also tried the sparkling and it's actually really good. As good as perrier imo
The Sparkling slaps
@@ooonyxxx wow water slaps. Haha what a sucker. U got finessed. 🤣
That helps me out some actually, the only sparkling water I've ever liked was perrier, so maybe I'll have to give the sparkling death a try
@@WiseLion777 not all sparkling water is good. Drink a La Croix and then a bubly and get back to me
Sparkling gang
I’m not a water snob at all. I don’t mind drinking tap. But I can definitely tell when water is “good”. That’s totally a thing!
Yea the mineral contents of the water have a big impact on it’s taste.
I still remember my friend giving me a can of liquid death as I was leaving her house and being like “wtf is this? If I’m driving home with this shit I’m gonna get pulled over!” - then I drank it on the way home (because I was thirsty) and it tasted like literal metal.
I can’t with this brand.
Risked getting pulled over cause a cop might think I’m drinking a beer but in reality I’m drinking metallic overpriced H2O 💧
I'm loving that for the fundraiser everyone else has these paragraph sequel things then Scott's is just, "Get that plastic out of the dang ocean" Loving that
In middle school I was diagnosed with a heart condition that's prevented me from ever drinking energy drinks, but by high school all my friends were pounding down at least one Monster or similar drink a day. I can see myself drinking liquid death back then to feel more "part" of things? It could be targeted for those in certain communities where energy drinks are prevelant but the buyer wants to be more health-conscious. 🤷♀️
That too. Their main demographic is "peaople who can't or don't want to have alcohol, but want something that looks like it so they don't feel left out or get made fun of" and honestly what are energy drinks if not alcohol children can have? (not literally but yknow what I mean) - the weird trend might have gone a bit far but the company kows what they're trying to do, and the thing they're trying to do is unambiguously good.
I feel like the problem of not being able to refill the can is easily solved by just having a reusable water bottle 🤔
Fiji tastes like your have your mouth on faucet. Core tastes like cold. Desani tastes like a mouthful of loose change. Blk water tastes great. Anheuser Busch has a canned water that tastes like water in a can.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one with no idea why there's so much hype around nfts or what they even are
Money laundering for people with to much cash to "invest" in laundrettes, that's it.
@@TheMarslMcFly oh don't forget the massive energy consumption.
I've seen these things for years at Dead and Phish shows, so it made more sense to me when it went outside of the concert venue.
My wife never liked the branding, even back in like 2017 when we first saw them.
Same people who hate on those drinking smart water are the same people who wouldn’t hesitate to go out and buy some “liquid death”. 😂
Liquid death just tastes like regular water. Instead of buying it, buy a reusable water bottle. You can buy an Iron Flask from Amazon for I think $25 and it’s basically a hydro flask but they come in cooler colors. You’re welcome.
Exactly: buy a filter, buy a nice think hydroflask
I assumed people would mostly buy it for the carbonated water.
Dude, this is offered at restaurants & bars. You offered no valuable info for when it's literally the only option for sparkling or flat water. Which it was when I went to a local dine-in theater. I tried the sparkling. It was good, but I like the taste of tv static.
@@rainmirron I get that it may be the only option sometimes. I went to a concert recently and had to buy $15 worth of it to stay hydrated lol! It’s just good to use reusable options when available!
My math teacher was drinking this a few weeks ago and everyone in my class thought it was beer, but actually he just drinks it because cans are more recycleable than bottles.
I think there are a couple reasons it’s so popular, 1 it is good water? Like idk how to describe it but it is good. 2 it looks like beer, young people can feel cool, sober people can feel not left out, all that. 3 it’s eco friendly so that’s nice. 4 it’s a can. I always prefer cans idk. Even prefer canned lemonade. Maybe it keeps it cooler? Something idk
Atleast cans get recycled. I worked at Poland Springs for years and realized all companies greenwash customers by saying "100% recyclable" giving the impression that they're eco-friendly but are blatantly misleading and don't make any effort at all to recycling.
I work at a gas station, and I vividly remember the first time I saw Liquid Death. I kept accidentally trying to ID customers because at first glance it appeared to be alcohol. The guy that was buying it told me that it was made to look like alcohol so that if you were in a social drinking environment, it would help you blend in while not actually drinking. I thought that was a pretty cool idea.
I remember they came out with canned water back in the 90s and I loved it. Its still to this day the best water I've ever had. Try the tap water in Las Vegas then tell me there's not a massive difference in the taste of water from source to source.
These are perfect for when you want to go to a social outing with a lot of drinking but don't want to drink
So literally last night I ordered a water at a bar and he started pouring this into a cup, I shyly asked if he heard me right about ordering the water and he just nodded and handed this drink to me. So confusing, great timing with this vid Scott 🤗
This is why thinning the herd is so important. And humanity has been the only species allowed to exist unchecked
4:09 I would totally start a meme company just to make my friends laugh.
Bro it's literally just water, chill my dude.
Preferably with the fresh thrist slaughtering watery taste of Liquid Death®.
It's weird watching this 2 years in the future seeing people act like this was a big thing but this being the first time I've heard of it
some years ago I saw an ad for liquid death where they waterboarded someone while talking about the product. thats a bit much for me, if I want water I'll just drink from the tap or something
They should do like a left twix right twix thing. Like “liquid death and liquid life…which side are you on? *cues loud rock music*”
Liquid Life could be a non-bubbly version! for those of us who want canned water but not sparkling water
glad to see everyone else also had the "was handed this at a concert when requesting water and was immediate confused" experience lol
To this day, the name Liquid Death for a water makes me chuckle. Like it sounds counterproductive as it implies drinking it will kill you. I dont get "kill plastic bottles" from that name.
Proposal: “liquid life” the twist? It’s straight everclear
Met a dude at a party once who was drinking those, asked him why and it turned out he doesn’t drink so he brings them to parties and stuff since they look like beer, so people won’t get on him about it.
Honestly pretty smart on his part, people do get really annoying at social events when you don’t feel like drinking.
They have flavors now so its not just water (well it is but there's FLAVORS of it)
liquid death is an unintentional modern day “I, Libertine” of sorts
You think you can just slip in an Andy reference like that and go on like nothing happened??
Serious note, one of the best albums.
I first learned about liquid death through wasteland weekend a couple years back and holy shit genius marketing free water in the middle of the desert. That's one way to do it that's for sure
I haven't bought bottled water in a very long time (except that one time I was on the beach) because tap is free and healthy and doesn't kill the environment. BUT, if I did buy water, I probably would buy this, just because of the ridiculous branding, and honestly would be kind of fun to bring a case of it to work just to see the reactions. But nah fam, I'm not buying canned water. Also, does the water not taste metallic at all?? Confused
I bought one and laughed when it wasnt even carbonated or anything but i will say the can makes the water feel extra crispy
The one selling point I remember and think is cool from their ads is that the canis less bad on the environment than plastic bottles. I could've totally made this up and be super wrong but if it's tru I like that about them.
The thing with LD water is why its good. It very very clean and crisp water. More so then water that is filtered through my pur water fitter.
The "good" is how refreshing it is because its not nasty water with a aftertaste.
Scott, after watching your video I find myself fighting the urge to try liquid death even more help!
Coming from someone who has struggled with urges to drink in the past, since drinking liquid death i've learned that the flavored water and the tea's are all made with Agave instead of sugar which in turn tricks that part of the brain that want's a beer and then your just chillin drinking a tasty ass water. The thought of buying a beer never crosses my mind. I never feel like drinking a beer. i'm very happy with how things are going and the little support i get from Liquid Death. the Branding is Metal AF but i can't say enough about how much the stuff helped me get to where i am and i do endorse the brand for anyone struggling with drinking. Replace a bad habit with a tasty alternative.
Fuck the haters.
Listen To Metal! Death to Plastic!! 🤘
Liquid Death has the exact same energy as "It's just a prank, bro!"
"The water's gone, big guy!" 😂
i saw a kid at a food court a few months ago and he was drinking this. i legit thought this like 6 year old was chugging a beer. i freaked out and asked his mom what was going on and they stormed off. thanks for this video… sorry to that mom but… why???!
🤣
I thought it was flavoured sparkling water with alcohol or an energy drink the whole time so thanks for clearing up that its just water.
It's litteraly a joke that's the entire point
6:15 So I legitimately am a sensory professional for a living and I felt so called out by this. But honestly, I'm just so glad someone made a video about this because this brand drives me crazy with how nonsensical it is.
I personally think there can be a big difference in water. It's so funny you made a bit about Ice Mountain lovers since I am actually one. I don't drive all the way to the ice mountain for it but I do prefer it and think it is good tasting water.
I got these at a concert recently and I noticed that the person at the stand was opening the bottles like you would beer before he gave them to you. I asked him and he said that the sealed bottles could be used as a weapon and are the equivalent of a brick. That just made me think that at that venue somebody had chucked a can of water and it injured someone in the audience or a staff member. So yeah those things can be used as weapons which is a bit scary. Also as someone under 21 carrying those cans around always made me feel so weird because they looked so much like beer cans. Like the environmental aspect and what not i totally agree with but you know, I can see there being some potential issues.
This video is secretly one big Liquid Death commercial 😂
I think selling water that is appealing is a great way to reduce the amount of sugary and unhealthy drinks being consumed. Also I think we’ve already learned our lesson that trying to jump from one thing to another for the environment is extremely difficult for the whole world to do together. Baby steps like changing to cans instead of plastic will make a huge difference.
"it's just TV static" this is the best description of sparkling water I have ever heard
We got these at my World Market Store two Halloweens ago as promo for the season, and it sold unbelievably fast that we kept it regularly. I don't get the market for most packaged water. But this one seems like the new Smart Water, which I remember people going crazy for when it came out.
when i imagine “liquid death”, a lot of things cross my mind. usually the strongest alcohol in the world or a metal band. one thing that i do not think of, however, is water.
I'm in an area where clean, accessable water is easy to come by, so not into packaged water - bit I can't shame them, it's good packaging to blend in if you don't want to be the weirdo not drinking alcohol, fun, the aluminum is far better for the environment and you than plastic and again - fun.
I love the marketing! That ad where they were water ummm you someone, awesome ad. If it's making people like water I think that's great!
This past summer I went to an outdoor concert. I stopped at concessions to grab a water. When the salesgirl placed the can of Liquid Death on the counter, I was confused. I'd never heard of it. I told her I wanted water, not alcohol. She said it was water. What? I had to read the can before I bought it. It tasted fine, but it was sure weird drinking regular water from a soda/beer can.
Could be a nice social alternative if you don't drink but youre gonna be around it. I don't drink anymore, but my hands do feel empty when I'm around it.
My biggest gripe with this is that they wasted such a sick design on plain water
The only reason I’m biased to like liquid death is because I went to a metal concert and they were serving this water, and it honestly tasted like the purest thing I’ve ever drank😂
He’s right. People are going crazy over overpriced canned water. Joke is it’s not even in a “can” there’s plastic lining inside, so it’s no different than drinking out of a water bottle. Your just paying more.
10:15 Hold up in court against what is the question. Usually there shouldn't be any value associated with it that a court could deal with. One would have to do some real mental gymnastics to even come up with a case where this contract would be relevant.
...and that's exactly what I did. What if I found someone willing to pay me a big sum for my soul and I happily take him up on that offer and a few days later I find someone else offering me the same deal and I just accept again. As long as they don't know of each others existence everyone is completely content, but what happens if they find out and now the second guy argues that he got scammed.
No matter how stupid this case might be, if there is a sufficiently big jurisdictional amount involved I see no reason why this wouldn't get handled in court. And it would be really interesting at that given how there's tons of good points for both sides.
14:07-14:10 Jarvis and Jordan in the corner being sad Boyz
i always thought it was beer at first, so when i saw them selling it in store here ( we dont sell alcohol in grocery stores) i was so confused until i read the can
I want to try it myself, basically after i had a kidney stone a few years ago I was told to keep hydrated to prevent that in the future (drink water, cranberry juice, and eat cucumbers) Also I joke (in good humor) how water is awesome and such. This came out (as far as i know) some time after i started talking about how great water is.
I'm not some insane fanboy for it but wanted to say I like liquid death's brand. I'm not a fan of sparkling water so i'm avoiding that, and the only water i've had that i don't care for is Evian. Keep up the good work, i'm a new subscriber to the channel, and I just had to defend water.
Aluminium is so bad for the environment. The amount of energy it takes to produce it and recycle it is criminal.
I love Liquid Death fr. I thought it was stupid, but got one for free with a VIP concert ticket a couple years ago since I was too young to drink at the time. Bar only had these and alcohol. So I took it, cause it was free.
I was wrong, it slaps. Can makes sure it comes out like liquid nitrogen cold, and to me it just tastes so clean, and smooth. Not disgusting, like Dasani, no chemical taste like Smart Water. It's like drinking straight cold air, I love it.
Ahh, twitter the movie. I cant wait for the sequel: UA-cam the game.
The sparkling lime liquid death is really good
Andy mineo at 8:30 was an unexpected surprise, but not an unwelcome one
Liquid Death taste like the A/C smell when it first come on.
“TV static in a can” 🤣🤣🤣I can’t
I read somewhere that the idea is that if you don’t drink, you can bring this to parties and people won’t ask you why you’re not drinking and annoy you. I love that honestly
Liquid Death is 99.9% marketing, 0.1% product. As someone who can tell the difference between packaged water, it's not even exceptional water. It's just water.
Apparently it's actually pretty solid water as far as mineral content and quality
I have sensory issues and I hateeee the taste of water, but mountain water? I’ll drink mountain water, plus it feels more fun drinking it out of a cool can. Not only that but metal tastes better than plastic in water. Also I like the aesthetic of how it’s at every concert I go to now, even at small concerts at skate parks.
5:18 I think the can makes it colder/crisp, so it tastes "good"
Watched Scott's stuff a couple years back and haven't checked back in in a while. Glad to see he's killing it! Legend!
I'd only ever buy bottled water at late night underground parties where they wouldn't let you bring a reusable in. Then, out of guilt, I'd drink from it for a week... Also to ensure I'd gotten all the residual drugs that had fused with plastic
the sparkiling water is pretty good
I love water 😊
I had a can when I was sick ones now every time I drink it I just think about being horribly sick
Whatever makes people enjoy staying hydrated im all in
Yes it is confusing.
not really a fan of the mountain water but I enjoy the flavors they have. its basically just la croix but in a larger amount
The only thing that I do like about "liquid death" is that aluminum cans are recycled. Like everyone freaks out about plastic bottles (as they should) but it's almost ingrained in all of us now that we recycle cans. I don't really know people who throw cans away in the garbage.
This video has been me since 2019 when some skaters I like started getting sponsored by them. Like bro it’s water that shit comes out of your sink why pay out the ass just so it comes in a cool looking can
The metal can taste good
Liquid death was actually some of the best manufactured water ive ever had.
I work at the grocery store.
At the very least this is the coolest looking product on the shelves. Very appreciated in a sea of bland packaging.
