Ugh. We went to a wedding in Santa Fe recently (Santa Fe is loving great and super cheap by the way in case you were wondering) and they had a shitload of the Costco sparkling water. Our Costco does NOT get that poo poo. I had never seen it before or since. I would be buying flats of that all day. Why is this poo poo so limited.

However I really like Spindrift too so whatever. Most people I know think it tastes like watered down poo poo-water, but it works for me vs essence-based water like La Croix that just taste kinda fake to me.

Never heard of Spindrift, but I bought 3 flats of the Kirkland Signature water today, and it's good.

The people bottling it were doing a lovely packaging job so it was discontinued while that poo poo got sorted out. I don't know if the bottler fixed their fuckups or if Costco contracted somebody else to bottle it.

Fill out a request form and maybe your Costco will try and get it back in stock quicker.

Ooh ok thanks. Wait so the request forms work? I assume they just threw that poo poo in the trash, or it got added to some aggregated spreadsheet that no one checks despite it being half of one employee's entire job, like most companies.

Bless you fellow parishioner I shall fill the sacred form. LaCroix Lemon is the only good one in case anyone wondered. I’ve considered getting a soda stream and tank but I’m making sure it’s not a short obsession and we’re in for the long haul.

Costco has always taken the request forms seriously, they are pretty much the only store that does though so I can understand why you think they are useless.

I'll have to fill out a request for those Mozarella and Kale chicken burgers next time I am there then, those things were great for those of us trying to eat healthy.

The spindrift water was pretty good for 2 flavors, but the lemon was terrible. I'll have to check for the kirkland.

Its not a CAS and it doesn't do graphing and it's light on matrices (max of 4x4 for most functions) so no it doesnt cover all the 89/92 stuff

It does do anything numeric in a better, more intuitive way and the formulas look like they're formulas instead of having a million nested parentheses

It has an equation solver, a spreadsheet, several table functions, can evaluate integrals and derivatives numerically, has the probability distributions you need, can handle complex numbers, etc. If you ask it a radians question it will give the answer as "1/4 pi" or whatever instead of some shithouse decimal, same with most other things

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RYmCBZTKmk

They do have a CAS / graphing one of course but I'm waiting for the next gen on that before I consider buying it, for anything nonumeric I usually prefer using something on the computer like Wolfram Alpha or Mathematica

To be clear, the Kirkland bubbly water is plain, no flavors. I prefer it that way, but if you want something flavored you'll need to add your own.

I like Spindrift, but I don't like that they changed the variety pack a while back. Grapefruit is OK, but my least favorite. I miss the cucumber flavor. I thought it would have a hint of flavor, but no. It's like you are drinking a cucumber. Like a wizard cast a spell on a cucumber and just turned it into a liquid (and inserted some bubbles too).

Seltzer and carbonated poo poo is fine as long as it's not full of sugar. Just another fear mongering campaign by BIG DENTIST. Just be careful with Spindrift since they use actual fruit juice so there's about 1-3g of sugar per can. It's all about Polar anyways.

The Kirkland bubbly water I saw at the wedding had multiple flavors, it was just straight up Costco La Croix.

There's also a flat of 24 half-liter plastic bottles of Kirkland-brand Italian sparkling water, maybe he's thinking of that?

The one you saw at the wedding comes in a flat of 32 cans - 12 lemon, 12 lime, 8 grapefruit. And you can absolutely taste the fruit.

I love the really, really high-end Costco poo poo.

Diamonds get wild, though, like you can get a 3 ct. diamond from Costco.com for $30,000 and then all of a sudden it's off to the races and you're paying $700K for a 4.5 ct.

I wonder what currency is, because a kilo of gold should only cost you $40K.
