A little bit. But I live in southern America, so...

I just bought 6 and went to look for the explanation. No dice.

So that’s what happened to the handles.

Guess they couldn't get a grip on things. They really didn't grasp the depth of the issue

The supplier ran out of apology labels.

The issue is hard to handle it seems.

Sorry to be Canadian

Hopefully, they are going back to the stick-on handle. Once they cheaped out and switched to the push-on handle, which breaks after a few uses, I stopped buying them.
​
Not that I buy a lot of these but I use them for work and camping and they would last over a year

You’re thinking of Dasani.

Sorry.
Sorry what happened? I think I blacked out and my Canadian took over

Yeah, it's pretty easy to change what a printer is printing. Not so much to ensure you're getting a structural element that can safely support a gallon of water.

I buy the same water. Was wondering what happened to the little white handle at the top. The jugs where I live have no apology on the back.

Did they ever have handles?

"Broad supply chain" aka container ship from China.

- Why would a water bottle need a handle? 2. Why are you destroying the planet?
PsyFiFungi t1_iy4gz6s wrote
Because a gallon of water is heavy, karen. Virtue signal somewhere else. If you need it, get it. If you don't, don't. If you get it, recycle.
RonSwansonsOldMan t1_iy4i0b1 wrote
My guess would be that your tap water is fine. But if you just have to have bottled, use the refillable 5 gallon jugs.

LOL bottle water company simps.
These people deserve to rot in hell, and you're backing them over this petty "insult the supply chain" dig.

You know an apology label shitting on the supply chain for apology labels would be more mildly interesting though.

My tap water? You didn't mention me or my tap water. Personally? I drink tap water almost exclusively, and if I ever get a plastic bottle I reuse it (even beyond a safe amount of times) then recycle it. But your original comment was pretty out of pocket towards OP. Lot of pretentious assumptions.
Again, you don't know someone's personal situation. Sure, if you're in a place with good tap water and exclusively drink bottled water because you have the money to do so, that's not really great. If you grab it when you need it either for emergencies or because you needed it at that time and to use later to refill and recycle, then so what?

They’re probably going to forget once they realize how much more profitable they are making that extra .01 per unit.

Yeah, weird plastic ones with foam in them

- Their bottle is fully rPET, they own their own PET recycling facility where they produce the bottles.
That's the only bottled water I buy, when I have to buy bottled water.
HotSalsaAssFire t1_iy5psvm wrote
Well I for one don’t think their excuse holds water. They could find another way to tackle this handle issue.

Same. Fuck Nestle.
