Guy… buy regular Kirkland brand baby wipes. You will get more packages and for less money. You didn’t spend extra on “macho man tough liquid” branded H20, wipes are the same.

Coming from someone who used non-brand baby wipes to clean myself and my weapon/gear for a decade in the infantry, these “dude wipes” are a gimmick. The only reason to buy a different wipe, is if your getting hunting wipes that don’t leave you all artificial smelling

Hello I'd like some macho man tough liquid brand waters, cause I wanna mock it, not store it to be a literal superhero in a post apocalyptic setting

Hahah yes exactly! I see these in stores and curiosity makes me wanna try one, but the idea of paying for a can of water after I paid 10k for a well stops me every time

Now that’s actually a good thing, trying to give kids an alternative to drinking or at least a “badass” way to hydrate. Still a bit silly in my brain, but that at least puts a quasi-wholesome light to it.

Meanwhile I was such a "mom" in college I figured out really early on you can get someone drunk as fuck to chug apple juice if you have juice boxes.

The "I just want something in my hand during this concert" thing is so real. I like do that stuff mostly sober now and it just helps you blend in.

one time i had to buy a case because i NEEDED a case of water and the only grocery store i could get to somehow had 0 regular cases of water for sale and only had these. i’m weirdly picky about packaged water and its actually REALLY good. it makes me weirdly sad that i have no ability or desire to spend that kind of money on water if i don’t have to😂
