Where Are The 33cL Water Bottles?
In the UK, I generally carry a small bottle of water. Usually, it’s a 33cL Evian or if I’ve been on a train a 33cL Harrogate.
As the pictures show, these bottles are smaller than the 50cL ones that you have to use on the Continent. On my recent trip, I never managed to find a smaller bottle.
I prefer the smaller bottles, as there is less to carry. And they fit my jacket pocket!
I would have thought that there might be an economic advantage for both consumers and retailers in the smaller bottle. Not knowing the costs of production, I can’t do a full calculation.

I too prefer the 330cl bottles, but our local Morrisons no longer sell them – I have a slightly sparkling water to combat dry mouth as a result of medication. And I like the Morrisons as it is cheaper as well as nicer taste and texture.

[…] small bottles in dozens in Waitrose and probably other places, whereas in Europe, there was nothing smaller than the half litre […]
