Don't aluminum cans have a plastic liner?

AFAIK this depends on the acidity of the drink since carbonated drinks will destroy the can otherwise. Canned food has no such thing.

Btw Most canned foods do have some sort of liner, usually plastic.

I did not know that, I've mistakenly assumed that due to the risk of tin poisoning when opening the can.

And on top of that, not just drinks, but mainly water, and now they also have sparkling water and tea.

No idea how they did it, but mad props to them for somehow managing to make it this far on just water, and without backing of some other major beverage megacorp (like Coke or Pepsico), at least to my knowledge.

The name and brand styling are so atrocious though. Feels like an Ed Hardy t-shirt became a water bottle.

I agree, but they appear to be aware of the level of "cringe" their marketing puts out.

I'd say they're the Limp Biskit of beverage companies. They are all in on the stereotype, without shame, while simultaneously making fun of themselves for it.
