Ounce Water, founded by “Sons of Anarchy” star Theo Rossi and his wife Meghan McDermott in 2015, has prompted backlash from a Brooklyn, N.Y., community over its packaging.
Brooklyn residents, along with Breukelen Rise, an activist group that serves at-risk youth and their families, took issue with the 40 Ounce Water package — which is designed to look like a bottle of malt liquor.
The group feels the shape of the bottle perpetuates negative stereotypes about black communities, as well as has the potential to promote alcoholism among children.

If they only sell them in small brown paper bags then maybe. Otherwise it’s a stretch.

Yep, all my black friends are all out playing Edward 40 hands.
This bottle screams racism

I'm assuming they're going to put out a candy blunt.

It’s 40 ounces of water in a bottle shaped bottle.
If this is what destroys black communities, well I think they’ve got bigger problems.
Maybe they should blame themselves

That’s hilarious.

That bottle is only racist if you believe stereotypes, so anyone claiming it is racist should let go of their false stereotypes.

It must suck to be so easily offended.

Even those folks have to work pretty hard to make that bottle offensive.

Why is it racist?
The people crying racism are making the assumption that only blacks drink 40s

I would buy those candy cigarettes as a kid. Never turned into a smoker as an adult.
