If you thought bottled water was expensive, try bottled water with an over engineered ring pull.
Look, I get they’re doing their bit for the environment.
And I do appreciate that having a ring pull that reseals means you might keep your drink for longer rather than throwing it away because the bubbles have gone flat.
Seriously, it’s all so over-the-top though I must admit to enjoying watching people trying to work out how to open it when they first get one because – like I did – they want to act all nonchalant but inside, they’re conscious that if they don’t find a way to take a sip soon, they’ve just been publicly humiliated by a can.
Which is even more refreshing than the water.
But I tell you what is even more refreshing than that …
As you read this, I’m in NYC so there’s no more blog posts till Thursday.
THURSDAY!!!
Consider this my Christmas gift from me to you … something I know you will like and not take back to the shop to ask for a refund. Which is a good thing, because the value of this blog is – as you well know – £0.01.
Enjoy the peace, see you Thursday.

What, you can’t blog from NYC? That should be easier than opening a can of water.

Comment by andy@cynic November 26, 2018 @ 1:04 pmI’m staying at the Ace. No one orders room service here both for the fact everything costs $1,000 and you don’t want to let another try-hard hispter invade your space, even if they’re bringing you your food.

Comment by DH November 26, 2018 @ 2:06 pmI love how much you despise that Ace Hotel. I love the fact that you’re putting yourself through the pain (on someone else’s dollar, no doubt).
