A Canadian man has recently faced backlash after he revealed that he spends approximately $2,650 a month on his bottled water habit.
Ryan Dubs took to TikTok to share his lavish habit of storing luxury bottled water VOSS, claiming that drinking this water is the only way he can "stay hydrated".

"I spend over $2,000 [US dollars] a month on high-end water bottles delivered directly to my house and as a 'water snob' it is such a luxury," he says in the video.
The creative director then claims that he stores his large delivery of the luxury bottled water — which comes in glass bottles — in four fridges.
He then boasts about how loading up his fridges makes him feel so satisfied.
Ryan says: "The boxes are so heavy because the bottles are glass but it's worth it."
"It's one of my favourite water bottle brands."
The creative director also admitted to not liking to drink water, saying that he has "always been a water snob".
Ryan explains: "And I know that for a lot of people they're like, 'What the hell? Why do you care? It's just water.' But I hate the taste of tap water."
"I cannot drink it. I can only drink bottled water. It's the only way I can get it in me."
Elsewhere in the clip, Ryan confessed to drinking Fiji water before. However, he claimed that he worries about the amount of plastic he was wasting by doing so
He then explains that VOSS is his choice because the brand's website claims that it is "net carbon neutral".
"Everybody has their thing but I guess I'm just a water snob," he says.

The video went viral on TikTok, amassing more than 1.5 million views and thousands of comments from users calling him out for wasting so much money for something he can do practically for free.
One person wrote: "It costs nothing (to make) its tap water because Norway has the top 2 cleanest tap water(s)."
"Haha I heard if you put the bottle to your ear, you can hear the marketing team laughing," another quipped.
Others pointed out that VOSS uses the same water as other bottled brands.
Ryan responded to these claims, writing: "Noooo hahaha it is so much better! I swear I have a heightened taste to chemicals and I just can't do it."
A number of users didn’t hold back in calling out Ryan for his "insensitive" habit.
One comment read: "This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen."
"This is embarrassing," another added.
A third chimed in: "When you said you spent over $2k a month on water, I guarantee you the question most people were thinking was not 'where do you keep it."
How about you? What are your thoughts on this?
