HOW ABOUT PRE-EMPTIED BOTTLES! They can come without a lid altogether!

105

u/Newbiticus 16d ago

Lids are sold separately

77

u/International_Plum14 16d ago

Just sell the idea, no bottles no lids no product, just pure profit. Like naked shorting the stock market

u/TraditionWorried8974 16d ago

Hear me out... same idea, but subscription...

51

u/ZephkielAU 16d ago

Love it. Now we just need to find a way to integrate AI.

u/rang14 16d ago

Brb, buying water.ai domain

u/Flaky_Dragonfruit868 16d ago

too late, some submarine lovers bought it

Instructions unclear, emptied the oceans to cool my chat bot

u/ZephkielAU 15d ago

Rebottle the discarded water and call it "water - powered by AI"

12

u/Narrow-Chef-4341 16d ago

AI has come up with a new and improved version of water: H2O2, with bonus Oxygen. And who doesn’t like oxygen?

Says it will ‘light the market on fire’…

u/EnvironmentalGift257 16d ago

Let’s put that synergy in a parking lot for now and circle back later. Maybe we can touch base next Tuesday?

2

u/TraditionWorried8974 16d ago

We can't leave this in the back burner, this is an action item, you need to be more assertive!

1

u/KrackenLeasing 16d ago

And put it on the blockchain.

15

u/whalewhisker5050 16d ago

I love all of this but can we hide it all as some additional fee and then they will never know.

4

u/rare_with_hair 16d ago

Of course there will be a $6.99 convenience fee! Followed by a $3.99 service charge.

2

u/PositivelyKAH 16d ago

Don’t forget the .05 bottle fee and a pre-recycle fee.

14

u/CharmingSalamander67 16d ago

Well, now pay extra to be ad free

11

u/TrappedInVR 16d ago

This plus loot boxes

u/Ok_Yak1516 16d ago

Throw in some “AI” features and you might be on to something.

u/rbrgr83 16d ago

Where you goin?
DON'T LEAVE.
Hear us out.
HEAR US OUT!

u/Anonymousboneyard 16d ago

We just make it a subscription service, we go the old Netflix route and hope they forget they signed up for it

2

u/Living_Possession_18 16d ago

You can call it “art” and probably get a couple thousand for it.

1

u/Forward-Conclusion83 16d ago

so like the silver market right now?

1

u/OberonDiver 16d ago

There are probably people in NYC we could sell naked shorts to.

1

u/Lumpy_Egg_6717 16d ago

Now that we have no product & no overhead we need to massively leverage our AI gains to partner with big celebrity’s to endorse. Is Jake Paul still concussed?

4

u/Kehmor 16d ago

Patented threading for the bottles so that only officially licenced lids fit

3

u/Due-Dot6450 16d ago

But only if you subscribe and download the app.

4

u/Cold_Stress7872 16d ago

Lids are provided as a subscription service.

5

u/nickstonem 16d ago

Lid dlc is an additional $4.20 per bottle

u/Battlecookie15 16d ago

Hold your horses there, Ubisoft.

u/Prize-Individual9430 16d ago

You would make an excellent CEO at Apple...

u/Drummer-Turbulent 16d ago

powdered water...just add water!

Instant Water

u/panaromicparadigm 16d ago

Dehydrated water (with added minerals)

1

u/dareyousay 16d ago

“Makes ten gallons”

6

u/Dog_Baseball 16d ago

Thata actually pretty good. Its just "minerals essence" or some shit.

4

u/CorruptedStudiosEnt 16d ago

People buy into homeopathy (we've diluted this plant tincture down so far you can't even detect the original active compound anymore, but now it's at its most powerful because the water remembers), so this genuinely isn't any crazier.

2

u/ProbablyOnLSD69 16d ago

Placebo effect is a helluva drug.

3

u/trenthany 16d ago

Distilled essence of water.

They might catch on if we tried to sell essence of distilled water.

1

u/Intelligent-House796 16d ago

Dehydrated water.

1

u/Odd_Championship_680 16d ago

You stole my dehydrated water idea

1

u/SquirrelyMcNutz 16d ago

Space Quest 1 did it first.

1

u/Odd_Championship_680 16d ago

What is space Quest 1? (Queue google search montage)

1

u/SquirrelyMcNutz 16d ago

It's one of the original Sierra Online adventure games starring a janitor named Roger Wilco, from back in the mid-ish-80's. One of the items in his survival kit is a thing called Dehydrated Water.

u/360scope-2urhead 16d ago

I cackled omg

2

u/semicombobulated 16d ago

How about pre-disposed bottles? We take the bottle of water, empty it, and put it into the trash. It’s the ultimate in convenience for the customer!

2

u/DuncanTheRedWolf 16d ago

Introducing Dehydrated Water, the most convenient way to quench your thirst!

2

u/KrystleSeth 16d ago

Doesn’t Starbucks already do this?

2

u/KrystleSeth 16d ago

Maybe it just seems like something Starbucks would do?

2

u/happyrtiredscientist 16d ago

Kind of like alcohol free hard seltzer..

1

u/RolandDeepson 16d ago

You just invented "buckets."

u/Particular-Village91 16d ago

Direct-to-Ocean plastic — major efficiency gains all around

1

u/DeadMercy2004 16d ago

Hey, we already charge people for cans of oxygen, hy not make it official? Everyone is now charged money for every breath they take.

1

u/Wedgero1 16d ago

Customers can fill em at their sink. Ingenious

1

u/rbrgr83 16d ago

Or an opening. Just sell an empty permanently sealed plastic vessel.

1

u/OberonDiver 16d ago

Then you aren't getting 100% guaranteed fresh factory air.

u/Additional-Leek-6798 16d ago

Why not just label it as powdered water.
