gollark: I mean, here, you can get tap water from restaurants and such free, as far as I know.
gollark: I mostly only regularly carry around a phone, my keys/USB stick, and wallet.
gollark: Maybe there's a niche for collapsible water bottles you can keep in your wallet when they're empty, or something.
gollark: It costs several hundred times more, or arguably infinitely more since most places provide free tap water here, because you... don't have to carry a bottle around?
gollark: I mean, you ship water from around the world at great expense despite there being perfectly good water locally. It's strange.
