 That's three hours of work doing three people's jobs for three minutes of sipping on a fizz drink. No thank you. I'll take one of those Kirkland brand sparkling waters at 58 cents each. Thank you, Costco, for getting in bed with the prison industrial complex to give me a two-for-one special on the way off off-brand soda. And as for who invented the bottle, not like it's a radically different design from a clay jug with a cork top and a wax seal used thousands of years ago.
