Length, age, and copyvio all check out. I agree that the original hook is the most interesting. I kinda want to try the product now... --Guerillero Parlez Moi 04:24, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
I came to promote the original hook to a quirky slot, but the numbers in the article don't match the sourcing. In particular, the so-called $1.9 million round is described in the source as $1.6 million, but it also says that with the $1.6 million round, the total raised to that point was $2.25 million, meaning $625 thousand in prior funding. Once the article is fixed, and the total raised to date specified more clearly, the hook can be updated; source 6 pegs the total at "a little more than $34 million altogether", while source 10 pegs it at "just over $34 million". Thanks for taking care of this. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:42, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
- @BlueMoonset: article and hook have been updated. Therapyisgood (talk) 14:15, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Therapyisgood: I just came to promote the original hook, too, but I'm confused as to the importance of the money at all? Isn't the hookiness that a canned water company released ironic albums? No irrelevant information should be included... Kingsif (talk) 12:17, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
