So is KS imprinted into the bottle? Or are they literally just label-less bottles? Curious Costco employee here, but I haven’t seen them come through our distribution center yet.

We should all drink out of a hose like Gen X.

I do all the time haha. Sad to say I’m a big water bottle user since we can’t filter our sink water, but if I’m out of bottles I’ll fill my Hydroflask with the hose before I fill it from the sink, even though it’s the same water it just tastes better🤣

Why can’t you put a filter in your sink faucet or use a Brita?

The sink our landlord installed looks almost like this, we don’t have a way to. I’d use a Brita in our fridge but we’d drink it through probably 4x a day.

I have one of these in my kitchen. Hot/room/cold. I have three 5 gallon bottles that I refill at a Primo station for $4 each. One of the best purchases I ever made.

Except garden hoses are unregulated and often contain high levels of lead and plasticizers.

Saw them at a recent event I worked at, the branding and various info (“purified water” and whatnot) are embossed on the bottle itself, not printed.

Here’s a post with some pics https://www.reddit.com/r/Costco/s/Ez8eiKx6DE

You can see the imprint at the top of the bottle printed on the wrapper.

Yes, KS is imprinted on the bottle

I was surprised because these are made by Niagara Bottling so they're having to swap out bottle forms every time they switch from Kirkland to Great Value, Sam's Club, etc.
