Via iStockphoto \/ @paperrfr TikTok<\/a><\/p>\n An Amazon driver is asking customers to stop ordering cases of Essentia water after revealing how hot it gets inside his delivery van.<\/p>\n Being an Amazon delivery driver is already physically demanding. But one worker says customers who order one particularly heavy item are making the job even worse: cases of bottled water.<\/p>\n TikToker @paperrfr singled out customers ordering Essentia alkaline water<\/a> after finding himself hauling a large case around in the back of his delivery van on a 93-degree day.<\/p>\n \u201cStop ordering this,\u201d he told viewers before pointing out another reason customers might want to reconsider having bottled water delivered in extreme heat: The back of his van, he claimed, was around 110 degrees.<\/p>\n \u201cTo the people who keep ordering this f\u2014\u2014 water from Amazon<\/a>,\u201d he said, panning the camera to a large box of Essentia water. \u201cI\u2019m gonna tell you a thing or two. The back of this truck is not air conditioned. It\u2019s 110 back here and it\u2019s f\u2014\u2014 93 outside.\u201d<\/p>\n He then questioned whether Essentia\u2019s touted 9.5 pH matters very much after plastic bottles have spent hours sitting in such high temperatures.<\/p>\n \u201cUm, so, you know, your 9.5ph isn\u2019t really doing s\u2014 when the plastic has leached into the water. So enjoy those micro plastic[s],\u201d he added., before quipping: \u201cAnd here\u2019s a bonus. Do you guys scan at the door or in the back of the truck?\u201d<\/p>\n The video has garnered 123,000 views. BroBible reached out to the TikToker via TikTok direct message.<\/p>\n Viewers Question Amazon\u2019s Working Conditions<\/p>\n Some could relate to the TikToker.<\/p>\n \u201cI f\u2014\u2014 HAATTEEE whoever is f\u2014\u2014 ordering water, cat litter, weights and large bottles of liquid like laundry detergent or degreaser,\u201d one complained.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s always 3 f\u2014\u2014 boxes of it to0,\u201d a second said.<\/p>\n Others were more concerned with the working conditions this TikToker was faced with, as a third wrote: \u201cHow Amazon treat their workers is beyond reprehensible.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, a fourth added: \u201cI feel bad for everyone who thinks their tap water is unsafe because of fear mongering water filter advertising.\u201d<\/p>\n However, others were less concerned about the prospect of microplastics, with a fifth saying: \u201cit\u2019s the same when you buy it at the store. those trucks are not air conditioned either so regardless your plastic water bottles have been exposed to high heat during summer months.\u201d<\/p>\n Why Do People Drink Essentia Water?<\/p>\n Essentia \u2018Overachieving\u2019 H2O is a brand of alkaline water. On its website<\/a>, it is marketed as being 99.9% \u201cpure,\u201d with a 9.5pH or higher. It also boasts electrolytes and a \u201csmooth taste.\u201d<\/p>\n As reported by<\/a> W magazine back in 2021, Essentia water has become something of a status symbol in recent years. Among its most high-profile drinkers is the Kardashian<\/a> family, with the brand often appearing in photos and videos.<\/p>\n But beyond its lofty promises and looking cool, is the beverage even worth it? Reddit<\/a> isn\u2019t so sure. After one user posted about the drink in the r\/skeptic subreddit, hoping it would help urinary tract issues, users let rip.<\/p>\n \u201cNo matter what the PH is it\u2019s a scam,\u201d one claimed. \u201cAll you\u2019re doing is forcing your body to make more stomach acid to rebalance the PH. If alkaline water did anything to the PH of your body it would make you sick. The human body needs a PH between 7.35 and 7.45 for proper function.\u201d<\/p>\n Another succinctly added: \u201cAlkaline water, meet 2.5pH stomach acid.\u201d<\/p>\n Similarly, a third said: \u201cAlkaline water is a scam. If you have urinary issues consult a medical professional.\u201d<\/p>\n This matches up with expert advice on MayoClinic<\/a>, with the website claiming that alkaline water isn\u2019t much better than normal water. While alkaline water may have added minerals such as calcium and magnesium, and some studies have purported it can help diseases related to strokes and cancer, ultimately \u201cmore research is needed to prove these claims.\u201d<\/p>\n
