What are you surprised that people pay for, when there are free alternatives in existence? (kbin.melroy.org)

I was going through my Wal-Mart+ subscription plan that I got for free and I saw their offers. One of which was EMeals, that was a 60-day trial. I thought that this was like Blue Apron or other meal delivery services so I thought I'd take a crack at it and hope that it would get me on a path to eat better.

Turns out, it's just a meal planner. And it's absurd to me why and how would anyone pay for something when there are countless and countless recipes and meal planners readily available for free. Who'd the fuck would want to pay for a planner? That's like paying for a calendar app.

Not every country has safe tap water

Ok, so: bottled water to drink at home in countries with safe drinking water.

I have a worst example, people who showered with said bottled water when we had a water supply issue in my town...

I've showered with tap water when my shower was broken. I think it makes sense if it's the only way they can shower.

Not even every state, look at Flint, MI ...

Even Los Angeles tap water isn’t safe to drink, as I understand it. Flynt, Michigan, too.

And even if it does, it might taste horrible.

If it tastes horrible then there might be something wrong with it
