Drink up
So I went into Starbucks on my way to work this morning to grab something warm to drink and a donut. As I’m waiting for my order to be called, I see a row of Ethos water. Plastered on a big sign on front of them are two African kids and the company slogan, “Helping Children Get Clean Water.” The sign explained further that buying a bottle of this water would help provided African tribes with clean drinking water.
Excuse me, but this is bullshit. If this company really wanted to get these kids clean drinking water, why are they selling it in America? Why can’t they just ship all these bottles over there instead? According to the company website they only donate a whopping .05 for every bottle sold, so I’m sure they make a whopping profit off the preppy, pretentious idiots that frequent Starbucks, and pick up a bottle while waiting for their double shot non-fat latte with soy milk. I hate these companies that pretend they’re doing good when it’s all just a front to trick customers into buying their products.
