40 Ideas People Believe To Be Normal But Are Actually Propaganda Created By Corporations, According To Folks In This Online Group

What a strange assortment of money in that wallet. Several 50p coins, some Euro and Eurocent coins, Euro notes, a £20 note and an Isle of Man £1 note.

Kim Kardashian said otherwise lol

All those unpaid interns are talking about how the kk family are a bunch of liars after Kim said people don't want to work anymore. Please please don't buy their products.

What makes this worse is the fact it's the result of the very, very few at the top living in obscene luxury.

Sure, but that doesn't mean you should buy a Hummer and throw plastic in the sea.

Insurance companies often obstruct healthcare

Yes, this. Why don't people who proudly display ther Hermes belt or Gucci handbag realise they're basically the unpaid version of the guy wearing a sandwich board advertising a caf?

In The Netherlands it's illegal to commercialize pharmaceuticals.

Technically, weeds don't exist at all. Where I live, they've now been rebranded to "wild flowers and plants" and are actively being handed out to plant everywhere because, as it turns out, bees are better off with more of these types of plants than they are with the garden varieties. Or so I've been told.

I never understood why/how this started in the US. I don't think anywhere else in the world has it tied to their job.

Back in the 90's, fat was considered to be the cause behind obesity, hence the "fat-free" or "reduced fat" food trend.

The Citizens United decision by the Supreme Court practically guaranteed that this would happen. Equating corporate money with free speech was one of the most destructive legal decisions in the last 100 years.

I miss my Nokia…

And they ship them off to poorer countries to handle because 'we don't have those capabilities'.

Everything about weddings, imho. Such a con. I played in a wedding band a couple weeks ago. We were paid obscene money. I overheard a woman explaining to a friend that she and her fiance had saved $30k toward their wedding and therefore were about halfway there. I just find spending that on a one-day party to be absurd, I wouldn't expect someone to drop 30k just to show they love me. Good gods, just tell each other you love each other and put the money towards a house

Or that they are rare. Diamonds basically are a total scam.

Yes! I can only see the point if it's an area where the tap water is undrinkable.

If we spent as much on providing safe tap water as we do on bottled water then everyone in the world could drink from a tap.

I live in Buxton, right near the spring that feeds the bottling plant. I drink the tap water that’s in my kitchen, yes we have a free supply in town that pours Buxton spring water when the overlords at Nestlé say they can ‘spare some’ but I only use that for my aquarium 😂 the poshest fish swimming in Buxton water 😀🐠🐟

At least that's a glass bottle.

A Lot Of Companies Use Municipal Water

I love the picture of a bottle advertizing tap water <3

It helps to have the extra filtering if you are in an unfamiliar place, city or foreign country where the water standards vary.

But if you are out shopping, or just going about, and get thirsty, it's better to buy a bottle of water to drink than a bottle of sugary drink

I live in Mexico, drink the water if you have all day to spend on the toilet....

Hahahaha!

Several years ago I was living in San Antonio. After a series of several UTI' s and a few go rounds with kidney stones, my Dr suggested I stop drinking the city tap water. No more issues... I'm from northern Maine and grew up drinking really awesome well water. I never thought water that I paid for would be so unhealthy!

I come from a town in the UK that sells our bottled water around the country and charge over £1.50 depending on the area and I don’t get it as the only thing different between the stuff they sell and the stuff that comes out of the tap is a bottle. It’s strange to me as people who aren’t from here absolutely love it

They are probably referring to when an American buys Voss water because it's expensive so it must be better. The gucci of waters

You can drink the tap water in my town. Same as you can drink pool water, even tastes like it with how much chlorine they put in.

Why everyone hate bottled water like do you got a sink in your car?

Unless tap quality is an issue, you're an a*****e for buying 20oz plastic bottles of pretty much anything, but more so for water. You're paying hundreds if not thousands a year to drink tap water, when spending a fraction for a water filter would be much much smarter.

And yet people keep buying.

The picture is a bad example, the whole point of that campaign was to show how Amsterdam tap water is great (and you don't need expensive bottled water). You can order the bottle separately to serve the water (and fill and refill from the tap).

Bar Le Duc bottle water comes from the same aquifer as tap water in Utrecht, The Netherlands. But is a thousand times more expensive.

Bottled water is a lifesaver in areas where the water is not potable for various reasons. Also, it is simply not always possible to carry a water bottle with you and I appreciate being able to buy water instead of a sugary, sweet drink which is usually the only other choice in the fridge.

Because unions fought to get the work week down to 40 hours. Corporations wanted you to work 12 hour days seven days a week.

Three very big scams

I found my dads mum and family this way, no regrets and I’m a nobody, they can keep my dna 😂

I really wish the government would bring in regulations to limit the use of single use packaging. They banned plastic shopping bags of a certain thickness, but have not gone any further. (In Australia)

Except car seats. Buy proper car seats for your kids, folks.

You haven't met me before I've had my breakfast and that all important first cup of coffee! If you do, you'll soon change your mind!
