An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I don't know how to prove it, but I was carrying this pack of sparkling water, dropped it and this can flew out, that's why its dented. Its still sealed, but has 0 sparkling water. I feel scammed.

oops all sparkle

It's dehydrated instant water. You just add water and it turns into water.

call the number on the back of the can and tell them. they love to hear when bottlers are screwing them and will fix the supply chain issue. Also you have a good chance of getting coupons for free seltzer. I did it before when I bought dr pepper 2 years ago and one can was half full. I call the company thanked me for the info and send me coupons for 3 12 packs of dr pepper in appreciation.

Every 12 pack comes with one can of Sparkling Oxygen. It's the latest trend.

As long as the sparkles are there -- you're good.

[–] Varesti@lemmy.zip 9 points 4 days ago

It's a can of sparkles, just add water!

At least you got free calories, sodium and sweetener with it.

Bottlers should have a full can inspector working and the empty can is kicked off the line. This happens when a tank is switched at the can filler.

Better than the sadness fizz that the can was supposed to contain. 🤣

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

This has happened to me twice.

[–] dingus@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Curious if the brand was the same or different as OP

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 2 points 4 days ago

Nope. Mine was Aldi store brand both times.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Oh hey Acme. Usually they replace things? Maybe yours is mean though.

[–] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 days ago

It's a can of dehydrated water. Keep it, it will help in one of your quests one day.

Oooooh post about it on their social media page! You may get free stuff

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 2 points 4 days ago

Sparkling free

I do love a cold seltzer. Vintage has the cleanest taste with Canada Dry coming in 2nd.
