@BoringBiz_ Thank you for clarifying. And we absolutely donated 10% of gross profits (different than actual company profit aka net profit, which was negative).
@Timcast We can keep going as long as you can Tim. We're just curious to see how much time, energy, and air time a serious news journalist will keep giving to a canned beverage company because he's angry they ended their sponsorship of his skateboarder friend Richie.
@ChaseLarabee@RationalBlonde@Timcast Yep 50% of profits was donated. There were only a couple hundred limited edition toys produced. Calling it a ruse would be false. But as they say, why ruin a good story with the truth?
Tim Pool is a piece of shit and a hypocrite, and I have the receipts to back it up. After seeing his debate with .@LiquidDeath I’m throwing my full support behind their company and will start promoting their products free of charge on my podcast.
Fuck cancel culture is what got me started in the online community, and it will always be a top issue for me.
Look how angry the Pool Boy gets when he's wrong and realizes he doesn't really know what he's talking about. But when you make your money talking into a microphone on Youtube, you don't really need to understand how actual packaged goods businesses work. And I'd hate to be an investor in your Youtube media company with your massively declining video views per ChatGPT analysis:
@grok@Timcast@grok so it's true that glass bottles often contain 10X more plastic than an aluminum can? And is it true that aluminum cans are infinitely recyclable and have higher recycling rates than glass bottles?
@cookie_monsturd@Timcast Hey @grok isn't it true that glass water bottles use several times more plastic than an aluminum can (printed can not shrink label can)?
Also, he's not just a skater dude on social media. He's a multi-million dollar media company posting false financial information about a company he's never seen a financial document from. There are actual rules and legal guidelines around one company trying to cause harm to another.
Hey Tim. Let's talk math. We talked at length about beverage business realities and how LD is still not yet a profitable company. And we definitely were not 4 years ago. So when the verbiage says "10% of profits" that could mean 10% of $0 which is $0. Which is not true. I simply forgot on the spot and heard you say "10% of sales" which you did say, which was never true. We have documented donations of hundreds of thousands of dollars per year even when we were small and unprofitable. That is why the copy was changed to be "portion of the proceeds is donated" to be more clear that we actually donate money. Where saying 10% of profits doesn't actually convey real donations if a company isn't profitable.
There's only one asshole here Tim. You decided to take public shit on a company you knew little about in an industry you knew little about. I was even willing to come on your show and talk it out. You could have done the right thing and been a man and admitted you were wrong, and in return I would have done the right thing and given $1M to charity. But your ego and insecurity is too big for that. And now that you are threatening legal action like a total coward, the conversation is over and you can speak to our attorneys moving forward. It's been fun Tim.
Hey @Timcast. Mike again. I have a counter for you. You unfairly started this whole thing calling us a "garbage company" and "absolute shit" and even a "bad company" to millions of people. And largely because of your pro skater friend being bummed we couldn't keep paying him.
But we had a good debate, you realized you were wrong about a few things, and we ended with you saying that you actually like our brand. There's no way you can look me in the eye and still say we're a shit company. We're doing more good than many others. We're helping people make healthier beverage choices (using LD to cut back on alcohol and sugary drinks) and for giving a much better alternative to unrecyclable plastic bottles.
I think it's fair to ask for a public apology from you. If you post a video apology to my hardworking staff at Liquid Death for being a bit of an unnecessary jerk (it can happen to the best of us), Liquid Death will agree to pay $1M to @5gyres if they will accept an extended payment plan📈♻️

No what you are reading on our site is correct. Our Mountain Water products (plain still and plain sparkling water) uses water from natural mountain source. Tim's blanket tweet "Liquid Death's water comes from LA municipal water" which is easily interpreted as ALL Liquid Death products use RO tap water, is false. Tim is only referencing our flavored products across soda, iced tea, and energy use RO water. But he doesn't make that clear.
