Question
A 2019 Washington Post column branded one company that only sells this non-tobacco product as “toxic masculinity run rampant;” since 2022, that company has been this product’s fastest-growing brand. A company selling this product funded US Forest Service projects in exchange for lower permit fees. One of that company’s subsidiaries was sold as Blue Triton in 2021, after its former CEO labeled this product a grocery rather than a right. The authors of a 2024 PNAS paper identified over 100,000 nanoplastics per liter in samples of this product compared to a widely-available home alternative. For 10 points, name this beverage marketed under brands such as Liquid Death and Perrier. ■END■
